Simple thread. Just going based off outer bags which is y'alls favorite as far as colors and patterns and even if you want to mention materials and "puff up" facor are.
I'll give you guys my favs. Sorry if most are Kirbys haha

Kirby Heritage II (First vac and love the logos on it and has a thick heavy bag that puffs up really well)
Kirby G4 (Colors are REALLY pretty with is blues and purple almost look like a galactic tornado puffs up nicely too)
Kirby Avalir 1&2 (Really nice colors on both and the Ks on it remind me of the H II but more modern)
Eureka The Boss 1934 (Puffs up nicely and the paint splatter pattern is cool)
Dirt Devil Broom Vac (Never seen one in person and would like to buy one but from what i've seen online the red color and logos make it look weirdly comforting)
Dirt Devil Hand Vac (Same as the broom vac but I have used one before though I prefer the thicker older ones compared to the thinner Ultras)
Kirby G5 (Simply beautiful color)
Hoover Elite (Not sure what the model number is but its a Blue striped one)
Eureka ESP 5134 (Very simple but the colors are cool)


Lemme hear what y'alls favs are and heck even what you would want to see in a newer vac.
 
There’s not one I can think of that I don’t like. For me I really love my 518’s outer bag, my royal hand vacs, and my Kirby traditions.
 
Yeah, my favorites are all Kirbys too. Hands down, my absolute favorite is the orange bag on the Kirby Heritage 1HD, and according to my avatar photo, my cat likes it, too. A close second is the red plaid bag on the Classic III, which looks like it should be on a set of bagpipes. For better or worse, my disdain for dump bags got the better of me on this one, so my Classic III presently sports a Legend II bag assembly so that it can use filter bags. Honorable mention goes to the first generation Sentria with its colorful 'boomerang' pattern.

On the other end of the spectrum, my least favorite is the tan perforated vinyl bag on the early '70s Hoover 'Brady Bunch' tan and green convertible. That thing looks like a giant inflatable Band-Aid.

I like alot of them but I think my most favorite one would be the grey micron filter Heavy Duty bags that Sanitaire/Eureka used, another reason why they're my most favorite direct air machines ever.
