vacuum

The fantom thunder/kenmore destiny plus. I have an emotional attachment to it. It's a long story though. I also like alot of other vacuums, but the thunder is my favorite.
 
favorite vac

my favorite vac of all of them is the D4. But for all practical uses, it's now my innovation. the Rainbow doesn't get used much because I don't do that much vacuuming.
 
Hoover PowerMax series

I have had the absolute best luck with these machines. I clean houses and haven't found anything else that cleans as good, is as easy to use and as durable. Love them, love them, love them!!

Hoover power nozzle headlights

Here's 2 Hoover power nozzles. The one on the left is the more typically known Futura nozzle but was also used on this model as its last application before Hoover discontinued it. This is the Hoover PowerMax Supreme S3530.

The one on the right is the more typical Hoover PowerMax power nozzle. It is sleeker and lower profile. This power nozzle is off of a Hoover PowerMax Deluxe S3607 canister.

Here we are with lights on in the room again.

Isn't it fun to vacuum in the dark with your just your headlights though!! I love looking at them.

These power heads clean so well too. Very powerful motors, great Hoover auger action agitators. These motors just PURRR like a cute kitten would. The motor noise is music to my ears, unlike the older CenTec CT14DX power nozzle motors. Those CenTec motors were just obnoxious.

For this photo, the PowerMax Supreme S3530 power team canister is running as a team. The PowerMax Deluxe S3607 power nozzle is running off of a Central vacuum hose pigtail cord. The S3607 vacuum did not come with agitator on/off switch, but did come with gas pump handle. Therefore although a T shaped plug, it is only 2 prongs and therefore motor and headlight all work off of the 2 prongs and the pigtail cord works for running the nozzle.

Oh Hoover!! Nobody, Does it like you!!

Favorite Vac

Is of course my old Kirby 561.. I use it everyday. I have had it since the neighbor lady gave it to me in 1961. She didn't like it.. I LOVE IT!!!
 
My favourite vacuum (for carpet cleaning and above floor cleaning) has to be my 1994 Hoover Turbopower 1000 because it is well made, has incredible suction, long hose with a good set of tools and the superb Activator brush roll for carpet grooming.

For just purely carpet cleaning however it would have to be my 1977 Hoover Senior Ranger as it really lives up to the "it beats... as it sweeps... as it cleans" slogan. I would be in pure heaven if you put me in a huge house with room after room of quality non-glued down carpet to just spend hours non-stop vacuuming with that old Senior.
 
I took my Grandpa's Kirby D50 and retrimmed it with bojack brown trim, an open-top genuine Kirby bag mounted on a Heritage II mini emtor and added a Classic handle unit. It works wonderfully. I have used it as a daily driver and as a weekends-only driver. It has never given me any trouble. It's great.

Eureka Model 2070

I believe I bought this in the early 70's. I had a NOS Square Handle put on it from the Model 250. Wish I still had it. Traded it in for one of new 6amp Eureka's 7 or so years later.....
