Hard to Pick Just One....

Actor Vincent Price wrote a book on art titled "I like what I know" and I would similarly say of vacuums I like what I have. There's not much I covet that I don't already have.

I'm especially fond of Electrolux metal canisters, especially the 1205 but I also like the Discovery II style uprights and if it came down to having just one vacuum, that would likely be my choice because of its versatility, incorporating the best of a canister and an upright. I also love Kirbys, especially my Heritage 1HD and Ultimate G Diamond.

One machine that I used to have that makes the list is a Eureka Princess with power nozzle. The closest I've come to replacing it is a Eureka 'Ironsides' canister that I've bodged together with an Electrolux wand and PN4.
 
Air-way

I too am a big fan of the Air-way uprights. I have three now and always keep an eye out for more. Theses vacuums were way ahead of their time. When ever I show my collection, the Air-Way's are always the most asked about.

My favorite vacuum of all time is the Eureka victory. It’s nostalgic to my childhood, and I just love the way that they look and sound. It may not be the best vacuum ever made, but I like it.

I thought I was sure . . .

For years it's been the Electrolux model G, followed by the model XXX. But since I acquired a very nice Automatic E a few months ago, I have to add it to my list, and it may push the model G to second place. I also really like the 60s-vintage Hoover Convertibles, Hoover Constellations, older Filter Queens, and Compacts.
