We have a load of Guardsman in the cleaning company I co Own, They are fantastic machines outlasting the sebo's Kachers and all other Euro commercial machines we have. Mine are all orange though, with the longest cord I have ever seen on a vacuum. WE don't et original parts for them here any more ( bags , belts brush strips ) but the generic ones wok well enough, We hardly ever see these in my workshop for repair, They are even maintained by the staff better than the other units, The lady's even change the belts and brush strips them selves, I keep getting asked when am I going to get more. Pity we just don't get them here any more.
 
A very rare

Used vacuum purchase that John Gregory insisted I purchase this immaculate ,mint,fully detailed Hoover last edition 1010 from the late 1968 with the new style engraved converter in lieu of the old style silver data plate ...with this 1968 production Hoover was just on the verge of giving the convertible it's greatest innovation 4 on the floor height adjustment ...the engraved converter valve is the sign of the 1020 was about to be launched aka Alice Brady bunch convertible
... In thread number 271345 I have a true original 1966 1060 starting this combination and the 1968 1010 ending this pairing ... What a rare piece of Hoover convertible history in my own home a collectors dream indeed .

I have...

A soft spot for those Gremlin Green WT2's, that color just pops. Bought two, one for $5 that seems to be such a basket case i think it will be for parts only. The second cost about the same but only has the issue where it won't stand upright on it's own.
Those Eureka Boss vacs are abundant and sell for nothing considering how great they work. I can't pass them up even though they are a bit boring to my eye. I have a Sanitaire blue hooded version that i upgraded with a metal VG II brush roll i had on hand. I bought the machine for $10, cleaned it up, swapped in the brush roll as mentioned and of course a new belt and F&G bag. My mothers cleaning help makes a bee-line for it when she shows up.
I think i have 2 Eureka's just like the Boss you pictured waiting for spa treatment and then likely donation to a friend in need. I may have a little fun and put a Sanitaire red bag that i have laying around on one of them.

I love the wind tunnel II bagged machines ,Kirby being my favorite brand these aren't that heavy .
Plus the fact being an X Linebacker nothing is heavy to me 😁

Love the Bosses too deep cleaning direct air vacuums the only way to clean a carpet
Plus the $100.00 or under price for a new one is a bargain .

For a Kirby

Lover I sure have a lot of Hoovers 😁

This is the last Hoover my Grandmother had until she passed away .
Hoover Run about U4258-930 she asked me not to put tool caddy or tools on
machine because she used her green constellation for tool cleaning .
She always loved and upright for carpets and canister for everything else .
