The Kirby Classic Omega. Have loved em since i first saw one new in 1973. Now, i dont mean a dirty old neglected dulled metal falling apart Classic Omega, im talking Factory rebuilt, shining like a brand new mirror in A1 condition right out of the box Omega.
The dark rosewood brown against the mirror like chrome. The Omega symbol with a bright new hadlignt bulb, in the front above belt lifter, the woodgrain decal on the handle bale all shined up. The regal slope on both sides of the rug nozzle, like a bell,, WOW! Now THATS a vacuum cleaner.
I think the blue Kirby Tradition with the chrome all shined up like a mirror is pretty too,,,but there is just something about the Classic Omega Rosewood.
The Electrolux Golden Jubilee also holds a special place in my mind as a thing of beauty. Again, in brand new like A1 Condition. There just isnt another Electrolux that is as pretty to look at, IMHO.
Where i come from ( small town in SE Minnesota) it isnt WHAT vacuum do you have, its WHICH Electrolux do you have.
When they came out with the Golden Jubilee,,you left it out, in a corner of your living room or wherever people would see it. Was like a golden trophy.
