What Is Your Favorite Vacuum

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.....

While I love the non electric machines from 1800's--

My favorite vacuum cleaner bar none, is the Electrolux model LX. This the first of them with the yellow nameplate with ELECTROLUX in red!
