What vacuums do U regret getting rid of?

[brandon_w_t]

Ah turbo sander was a tool. There was a kirby model called the Heritage "turbo" but thats different entirely.


The heritage 2 Legend was made late mid 80s.

I think that may have been the older one I got for $5, not running and gave away. Old fart memory here I fear. Thanks.

I didn't get rid of these myself, my family did over time...

As a kid, I had:

Hoover Jr.
Kirby 561 - sick about this one, was MY first Kirby
Kirby DS80
Metal Royal handheld

If only I knew where these were now...

Currently I have a Classic Omega and a Classic III... Both have been in my family since new.

Also have a Dyson DC07.

Mine would be a Kirby Model 505... ugh... only because a family member was desperate for a vacuum...

 

[kirbyeureka95]

my parents...

THREW AWAY my collection of about 8 vacs, all of which i have been unable to replace, when i was 11 and we moved. The one i regret the most was my grandmas heritage 2 that was complete with everything offered. It was practically new because it was too heavy for her! ughhhhh. to this day i cant figure out if my prents are supportive or not- sometimes they buy vacs as random ily gifts, and then 2 days later they complain about all the space they take up (and all of them are either in my room, a storage room, or a guest room closet)

I hear 'ya there, Michael.

Although my parents have never thrown away my vacuums, I dont think theyre real supportive.

 

[floor-a-matic]

Neither were my parents have been supportive (all the way) but I don't know about the kids being supportive?

Upright Hoover vacuum from the early 70's. Easily replaced if I wanted that model again....but not my original. It was my first vacuum and my first apt. I practically wore the carpet out running it and was intoxicated by its noise.;-) It was traded in when we bought the Diamond Jubilee about '84. I'm sure the LUX salesperson took it to the dump.:-(

I can think of a few, actually ...

<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">1. My Mom's Kirby 511 and Hoover Convertible U4005</span>


<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">2. My Grandma's Eureka Easy Glide 210A</span>


<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">3. My Eureka Emperor 1212A (and its Panasonic counterpart) -- got rid of both of 'em due to lack of parts</span>


<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">4. My Hoover Convertible 69</span>


<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">5. A General Electric Upright that I had (I think it was a U7 but not sure)</span>


<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">6. My Premier U8 and my Singer Golden PowerMASTER (both of which I got rid of when I was much, much younger and not yet a collector!)</span>


 


<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">I could go on ... but I'm gonna stop otherwise I'm gonna run out of tissues!</span> 

 

[electroluxkirby]

That's easy, my Kenmore canister with power nozzle from the early 80's, oh and the Hoover Convertible that I loaned to a friend, and never got back.

 

[kittingerhoover]

OH how I miss

My Hoover Sovereign

 

[eurekaprince]

My parents' 1974 golden Eureka Box-Top-Bag Cordaway Rugulator Upright Model 2083 with Vibra Groomer I and Edge Kleeners.....could kick myself for selling that to a friend for $20......me stupid. :-(

Stradavarius Vacuum

The machine that I miss out of my collection was a tank type vacuum, made in Japan, it was distributed here on Long Island I think in Great Neck, it was called a Stradavarius or something like that. It was blue and white plastic, but I somehow remember seeing one in green and white. It did not use bags, it had a dirt cartridge on top, the hose had an off/on switch on it and I think they were selling them in the 70's for about $40 or $50.00? Anyone ever see one or have one?

 

[djtaylor]

I gave up several when I moved into my currant, much smaller, apartment. There were,
Tri Star DXL with a really good replacement pn.
Filter Queen X-31.
Kirby D80 with mini emtor and HII bag.
Kirby Classic III with mini emtor and Heritage bag.
Kirby D50 trimmed in Tradition Blue with a mini emtor and Tradition bag.
Should have kept them all... I could have found room. Maybe if I 'knocked through' to the neighbor's second bedroom. I'm sure they would not have minded.
