What vacuums do U regret getting rid of?

[floor-a-matic]

One of my Electrolux LX's
Hoover O (MY ALL-TIME favorite)
Craftsman 8-gal shop vac
Eureka ESP

I miss all of them; wish I didn't have to move so often.

A hoover powerdrive dial a matic I don't remember the model but I discovered that parting with it was a big mistake.


I also regret parting with a hoover convertible u4085 and a few others.

My Dirt Devil Classic upright. One of the made in U.S.A early 1990's models. Inherited it from grandma, was my first vacuum, and foolishly sold it in one of our rumage sales at the age of 11 or so. My mom said I should and said I could get a better upright for the basement. Three years later, hmmm, d*****! It was a trick! Unsupportive parents really are hard to deal with.

You had a HOOVER model O? Do you have any pictures of yours? If so do share!


My all time biggest regret was selling my Hoover model 800 from circa 1934.

But I do regret selling some other stuff. Like my Kirby Ultimate G, or Rainbow E2, or VitaVac.

I sort of regret trading my two Eureka canisters to Brandon (@animebsd), because of the fact the power nozzle on one of those was also licensed to Rexair between 1974 and 1980. But I didn't have a single working Royal all-metal upright until then.

Now ... I wish to find me an original 1980 Rainbow D3A with its unaltered R-1024G power nozzle (with decal represented as five stripes above and company name below). But since I don't have a real picture of a 100% original D3A with power nozzle, then I'm using one of a dark brown D2 (picture by @dwhdarren97) with its unaltered R-1024F nozzle.

My Kirby G5, it may have been heavy, and was outcleaned by my Sanitaire, but, I still miss it cos it was a nice colour...

Still have the other two here though...

my filter queen's

I wish I kept my two mint condition filter queen special editions.I still prefer using my two tristars but they were sure beautiful vacuums that I wish I hung onto.

<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">There have been so many that I wouldn't know where to start: Many vacuum cleaners have had to leave the Home for Wayward Vacuum Cleaners over the years, and most generally under difficult or hardship circumstances. </span>

<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">I don't really want to think about it, lest I get sad and depressed about it again." </span>

I think I will miss my Classic Omega when I sell it (or part it out). It has a non-original bag and the motor needs new bearings or something, so it's not like I'm committing a crime by giving away it's good parts to a better cause. I just need to get rid of a couple Kirbys because I need to keep my collection down to 5 vacs or so.

 

[kenkart]

My Eureka..

250 and 255, Morgan has the 250, and I cant remember who got the 255.

 

[suckolux]

My 81? Compact, and the Kirby Turbo I got for $20 at a yard sale, I do not remember the model.Paper bags, brush rotation light.

 

[vac_whisperer]

I dont think a Sanitaire could outclean a Kirby...

And Davis, I think the vacuum you may be talking about os a Heretage.

 

[vac_whisperer]

Sorry, I meant to say David in the above post. My bad.

 

[suckolux]

Maybe. It was nice size, smaller head, cool hose and 2 boxes of toys with it!

 

[suckolux]

I think it had a sliver/ black bag. Could look in photos I have I guess!
