What vacuum cleaner do you have?

[dartman]

I'm on the vac site and our main machine us a Starks/Royal 4650, also have a 413 power tank, a Oreck XL portable type 3, and a new Rowenta 18 volt Delta Force stick vac that will run 30-40 minutes on low speed and has a power head. I think there's another Oreck or something mom gave us we've never used too.
My favorite is the Royals, too bad it's getting hard to find hoses and like that for them. The 413 is about 88 vintage and I think the 4650 is a 98.
The Rowenta is the best small uoright cordless stick vav I've used so far and paid 90 shipped from Woot.com.

Well.....considering I am a vacuum cleaner collector

first and foremost. I have a collection of 175 machines, ranging from the 1910's to my childhood of the mid 90's. I rotate what I use, and most of what I use are either Hoovers or Eurekas from the 60's or 70's. But if I am in a mood for somthing diffrent, I will pull out a Kirby or a Lux, or maybe a Compact or Airway.

This Howard Johnson's skybox I live in barely has room for dust much less sweepers. But I still have the Hoover Spirit powernozzle I bought used in the late 80s. Well, I have most of it. 5 of the wheels are new (yes I know it only has two at a time). Hose, switch, motor brushes also new.

Probly noisier than it has to be but that's OK. If it lasts a couple more years I'll be deaf and won't care how noisy it is. That is, assuming *I* last a couple more years.

Turbomatic Tom, X-raytech, Jae DeVine,

Tom, I have a Eureka model 1279 rotomatic power team with that same thumb wheel in burgundy (brandywine).
X-raytech, did you get either Hoover at Gimbles, Hornes, or Kaufmans?
Jae, did you get the hoover Celebrity at Thurstons?

Anyone heard from

a UK member named Ibasiac?

 

[logixx]

Yes, is Ibasiac on here as well? Love his videos.

 

[xraytech]

Vacerator,
I'm not sure where the non self propelled Concept came from, but the PowerDrive one came from the Hoover Store in the Great Southern Shopping Center

 

[vacerator]

great southern center, logix, re; Ibasiac,

Xraytech, I was born there. We lived in Plum. We left when I was six.
Logix, I saw him in archive photos of a meet somewhere. Unless it was just a T shirt he mailed a member here in the states. The guy on the photo looks a bit younger.

 

[abcomatic]

Here is what I have: Hoover upright, 1958 Hoover Constellation, 1979 Kirby Classic and a Majestic model Filter Queen.

Our daily driver is a Hoover Model 68 I found at an estate sale for $5 several years ago.  It also came with a huge lot of Hoover and generic C-type dust bags.  Here's a link with pics.  Scroll down to reply #18.

Christmas came early for me this year!!!!

I brought home a decent haul after visiting my friend Ken Hedrick in Atlanta today. We have here: a Hoover Commercial U7073 (I know it needs a bag lol), a MinuteMan V14 PRO, a pink Hoover Convertible, and a dark red plastic based Hoover Convertible (it's still in the car lol). The Hoover...

Many people choose Dyson or Hoover vacuum cleaners.
So, I am pleased with my Eureka (my wife and my daughter too).
We use it for a year and it works well. It is handy because it's cord-free,
lightweight and has two modes.
I found this nice review: https://vacmux.com/eureka-nec122a-cordless-2-in-1-stick-vacuum-review/
The main thing is that this vacuum copes with its tasks.

Since this was first posted

I was given a whole collection so I now have around 600 to 700 machines, I recently bought a Numatic James which I LOVE!

- Hoover Constellation (ready to go back to the box and back to my husband`s collection and hopefully I`ll forget that thing once existed)
- Dirt Devil Reach 360° Pro forgotten in it's original bag deep in the closet and ready to be used if someday I have to vacuum something that will destroy the vacuum or to give to somebory that can't afford anything better.
- Bissell Zing Bagless that I love. Amazing performance for a vacuum that costs only $49.
- Black and Decker Dustbuster Flex with floorhead. EXCELLENT for quick pickups, extremely powerful for a cordless and with an interesting "somewhat mini canister" design. I bought it expecting nothing more than the obvious use for a dustbuster. Several times I grab it to clean a tiny area (for example around
my ashtray on my desk) and ended up vacuuming the whole house using only it because it's really fun to use.
- Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo. Best robot I've ever had or seen in operation. It also mops the floor.
- Kärcher WV50 Plus, window vac. basically a sink squeegee that came from a sci fi movie. For years I thought that thing was the silliest and useless vacuum one could ever imagine, until the day some friends at Kärcher sent me one for free and I fell in love with it.

I have a Sanitaire SC887 that I bought around '97, and a Euroclean GD930 (used most often) that I got in '06. Both use the Eureka VibraGroomer brush roll.

I also have a now defunct Rainbow from the mid 60's, and a Hamilton Beach Handi-Vac from around 1950

 

[fan-of-fans]

My daily drivers area a 1997 Eureka 1934A, which is basically a plastic F&G upright. I like how it sounds and I use the Arm & Hammer bags which are quite big and never smell.

And most often I use a Kenmore Progressive bagged upright with direct drive brushroll from 2008, and a Kenmore Progressive bagged canister from 2012. Those two use HEPA cloth bags and have issues with smelling sometimes.

I also have a Kenmore Home Cleaning system from the 80s which is a wet/dry vac or carpet cleaner. Plus I usually use a 5 gallon Shop Vac I got in 97 to clean the car.

I also own a vintage Hoover Slimline in lime green and a Hoover Constellation.

 

[wayupnorth]

I have an Electrolux, but cant be bothered using as any regular cleaner and buying those expensive bags. I also have a Kenmore Quick Clean that I can fill the dust bin in no time with all my dogs shedding. I hate to vacuum, hurts my back, find absolutely nothing enjoyable with having to vacuum.

Kirby Tradition and a Kirby G5, Dirt Devil hand held for the sofa and the cars, a ShopVac and a Craftsman shop vacuum.  Love my Kirbys.
