You may be correct!
But I would nominate another vac as a close second: the basic Eureka Upright Model 2010 from about 1972 is still in production as the basic Sanitaire square hood upright with the Dial-a-Nap adjuster. Nothing much has changed except motor power and brush rolls and colours.

Of course, there have been revisions, updates, and color variations over the years but the general styles have been/are the same. I appreciate that continuity in Aerus's products. Instead of discarding time-honored designs just for the sake of change it improves upon its effective engineering which gives it an "air" of reliability and customer familiarity.
Incidentally, Aerus continues to offer its well-designed and efficiently-used floor/rug combo tool and dusting/upholstery combo tool which were first introduced with the Model E in 1954, and in fact sold with the last of the famous Model XXXs.

My two previous posts erroneously referred to 'Epic 3000SR' as both a tank and an upright cleaner. Only the upright is 'Epic 3000SR'; the tank is 'Epic 6000SR'. Both were the first Epic machines in their classifications.
Can't believe I missed it twice. Good night!

Definitely the Numatic Henry over here, although the longest running vacuum ever in the UK is, without a doubt, the Hoover Junior. 44 years in production between 1944 and 1988.

75 years of NSS pigs
The NSS is honestly the winner, the same basic machine began being manufactured in 1940. The model M was made from 1940 to I believe she said 1972, then a more powerful motor was put in the machine along with a couple small changes in the housings and it became the M-1, which is still made today. 1940-2015 means the NSS 'Pig' has been a current machine for 75 years with no major or truly significant changes.

So glad i got a Pig..
.
when i had the chance. I was very new to collecting a few years ago and i found one for $60. I had to think long and hard whether that was a good idea or not.
I have yet to see one since. I even found an extra NOS bag on ebay.

How about...
The Dirt Devil Ultra Hand Vac? I've read that this vacuum was introduced in 1996. Surprisingly, they are still being made! I saw some in stock at an independent hardware store.

Guess the longest made vacuums would have to fall under Commercial/Industrial(NSS Pigs) then residentual--could the Aerus/Lux be contenders?How bout Kirby,Rainbow,TriStar/Compact?Then there is Royal.Can't forget them.

Hoover purepower?
Hoover Purepower has been on sale for 18 years as of 2015 - the same time as the Hoover Turbopower was on sale. Henry has been on sale for 34 years.

I thought the TP1 was on sale 1982 to 2004? Maybe it was 2002. Either way that was 20 or 22 years.

Hoover TP1 ad TP2 don't even come close to the NSS Pig which has been in production for over 70 years!
Hoover Convertible would be a close second, from the mid 1950's until ???
Don't quote me. Some of you Hoover people know better than I do.

What about the Hoover Convertible platform and all the models that were built off of it?

Rob, I thought it was 83 - 2001? The last TP (red soft bag) ceased production in 2001, but sold into 2002.
