What's your childhood vacuum?

[vackid1243]

Hello! I am a new vacuum land member and I am happy to say that I can make threads and share my ideas on others. Now, my childhood vacuum!

The first childhood vacuum I will mention is a 2000's Bissell powerforce, along side a brown Bissell carpet washer. The other vacuum I will mention is a 2000's dirt devil Featherlite bagged, which was and still is my personal favorite vacuum. Now then, let's hear about your childhood vacs!

Pink and Gray Lewyt...

My response technically belongs in the 'Vintage' forum, but be that as it may, my first childhood vacuum was a late '50s model pink and gray Lewyt canister. At the age of about four, it was the first vacuum I ever learned how to use—turn off and on, swap out the tools, open up and change the bag. That thing hung around the house until my parents moved in about 1997.

One of my childhood vacuums is what used to be my mother's Electrolux model G (it's now mine).

A 1950's brown Air-Flo cylinder cleaner made by Canadian General Electric plus a 1960 Eureka Super Automatic 260 upright in Lagoon Blue (including matching blue attachments in a blue cardboard tool caddy).

Thank you for the responses! It's interesting to see what vacuum cleaners you had when you were kids!

WE had a Hoover Convertible

 It's been used hard.  I still have it, along with 2 other model 67s.

My mom had a 1950s Filter Queen. Then when we had wall to wall carpeting installed around 1970 she got a Regina V480 (picture credit goes to Doug Smith's vacuum website)...it did not have a power nozzle. Somehow she thought it would clean better on the new carpeting than her Filter Queen. She also had a Regina electric broom. A couple of years later (around 1972) she bought another Filter Queen (brownie) with power nozzle.

My grandmother had a Belltower Electro (pic also from Doug Smith's website) which my mom had given to her after she got her first Filter Queen). Then in the mid 60s my mom bought her a Hoover Constellation and a Hoover Handivac.

My mum had a vintage green Electrolux Pretty similar to this

But then when my dad moved back to Perth, he took it with him and he is the use as his vacuum until after that the motor burned out then it was replaced by a hoover, but the motor on that one burnt out as well and then he got a hoover concept one with power drive, and then that was replaced by A DC07, which he still has Unless that got replaced

The screenshot is pretty similar except this particular Vacuum actually had a cord reel

We had a red Hoover Elite when I was very little. When I was middle school, we went to the hardware store and got an orange Hoover EmPower. Not a special machine, but it’s still with my grandmas stuff.

As a kid-used a Kirby 510or 511 from my Dad.Canister vacuum was a Kenmore "wheelbarrow"that Stepmom had.Liked cleaning with them.

 

[blackheart]

this!

My parents bought it brand new back in the day. In the late 2000s I traded them a G3 (later replaced by a sentria) and this has become a permanent part of my collection. I had it polished by a local shop a few years back. It's currently in storage.

An early-postwar (I think) Electrolux XXX (475 watts, saloon exhaust doors), and a late Electrolux model E with a cordwinder and an AE-style anti-tip piece on the swivel caster.
