I have a few!! I have been very fortunate to find many of my holy grail machines, but some I had I foolishly got rid of years ago, such as a Eureka 255 upright that was candy apple red and a mint Eureka 260, they went to good homes, but I wish I still had them, Now for the machines Ive never found list, An Apex Dyno cleaner, I have 2 Stratos and 2 Aeros but no Dyno, A Cadillac Quick Vac canister, I do have the canister, but no hose or attachments,a first generation Westinghouse canister, I have the tank and upright, but not the canister,and the most holy grail of them all, a 1961 Lady Kenmore Whispertone with the L shaped powerhead and pistol grip hose, this was the first pistol grip ever built, and was Sears 75 th anniverasary machine..So guys, what are YOU looking for!??
Vintage Vacuums you LUST AFTER!!!!

Obviously for me its old hoovers.
But the 2 that I fall for every time, is hands down, in my mind the two most gorgeous home appliances in history...
The hoover 825, and 925 commercial.
The streamlined, waterfalling badge and lighting emblem of the 825, and the beautiful wings of the 925.
The 150 is in close 3rd.

Hey Hans! I just couldn't resist this one! I'd love an Apex Strato.I have the Dyno and the Aero. I'd also like a Hoover Constellation in red and white, and a Hoover Constellation in lime green and taupe. Last but not least, my ultimate Holy Grail vacuum would be the G.E. Swivel-Top Model C-100 with power nozzle. I feel for that one like you do the Lady Kenmore Hans! Later, Trg

Some machines I love that I own/have owned.
From left to right
1950s Monky wards upright- Fred S.'s now.
1972 Eureka Vanguard Golden Powermaster TOL
Hoover 700 that I restored- My personal favorite coffee can that I own, out of the 4 I have.
Hoover 29- Besides having unoriginal bag, its in near perfect shape, and runs beautifully
Hoover 61- My prize vacuum. Near perfect, and all original. Beautiful bag and cord, with dealer sticker on the handle.
Hoover 33- Was my best convertible condition wise. All original and almost flawless in every way. Fred S's now
1924 Kirby Vacuette model C. Got it from Chad Cunningham. Its currently being slowly, completely restored by the local vacuum shop.
