For me Would definatly be the Kirby Classic Omega. Several people i knew as a kid had them, and i admired them so much. To me the Omega was just the KING of vacuums.
The dark brown "Rosewood" color always thought was just so cool.
Oh how i wished and often dreamed of owning one. Id ask Santa Clause for one every year,,of course it fell on def ears with my parents walking away shaking their heads.
All we had was a dumb old Hoover Connie dust blower and later a problematic Dialamatic. They certainly were NOTHING like a new Kirby Classic Omega!
A neighbor that lived down the street from us one time bought a brand new Classic Omega. The salesman stopped at our house too making his way down the street, and of course my mother was NOT interested. ( How id have LOVED for him to bring a NEW Kirby into our house, even just for the demo!)
Well the neighbors down the street ended up buying one,,and would often bring it outside to vacuum out their cars. Whenever id hear that Kirby motor roaring like a jet engine, id quickly get on my bike and pedal down the sidewalk just to get a glimse of the Kirby. I remember how shiny and impressive it was brand new. ( to a little kid that was vacuum crazy)
Yes, i finally got one later in life!
