I cant decide, I even love my modern Velocity. They all have thier plusses but I think the ones that stand out the most are the 1400 series machines.
Remember them coming out and the hoo haa they caused. The Airstream I think, not because its TOL with bells and whistles but more because it looks smart, seems to use a quieter more gentle motor that just hums and the fact those blue airflow bags just seemed from a different world at the time.

It’s a toss-up between my G and UltraLux LX
The hose on my G is an early model 1205 hose. It looks nice with my G and still holds full suction. The UltraLux was found at an Estate Sale in Kansas City. The UltraLux came with two hoses, two power nozzles and an Electrolux 1205 rug washer. I still consider this Electrolux to be one of my best Estate Sale finds. When I purchased the vacuum the cashier didn’t mark the ticket and one of the workers had to call cashier to confirm that I purchased the Electrolux vac. The estate sale guy thought I was trying to pull a fast one!

Commemorative Edition
That Commemorative Edition Electrolux is so attractive! I'm so glad I had the opportunity to see one in person at the convention.

The Model G or the Olympia One
My favorite has always been the Olympia One in all of its original form and beauty. I just think the chocolate brown with the cream colored trim and all the matching attachments, and then the olympic sticker that was placed on the back part of the chrome is AWESOME! Truly patriotic! And shows American pride. Even the box that it came in was nice looking. Also, the turquois Model G with the PN1 in its original form when it was brand new is AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME looking!

@smith
Is that a NIB Silverado-era B8 shampooer/polisher?
@pr-21
That's a VERY NICE Commemmorative Edition Lux; are U using the new vinyl hose or the original cloth-woven hose? I haven't seen those in person as of yet, but I would LOVE to own one.
Too bad those CE Luxes aren't on eBay or any auctions/garage sales (at least not in my area)

Thank You, I like it too. I use a genuine vinyl electrolux hose with it and not the woven one.
There is one on Ebay now, with a Buy It Now for $475.00...

Now I'm using the Ambassador as daily driver; its nice, powerful & lightweight. Next would be the Epic 6500SR, 1205, G, L & Golden Jubilee. At least the plastic canisters have storage for both the combo duster/upholstery tool & crevice tool; on some metal canisters the crevice tool doesn't stay under the handle or attached onto the dusting brush, which is held by its clip in front of handle (E, AE, F, G, L, R, S & T) or behind the handle (1205 thru 1521 Ultralux)

Favorite Electrolux.....
Charles, I too dearly live the styling of the XXX, they are amazing little machines; I also like the model G, it is so quiet and powerful; but out of all I have in my collection, my favorite still goes to my Model 1521 UltraLux CE.....

The stunning Automatic F with PN-1 Power Nozzle.
I also have a Model F with power nozzle. See link.
The Model F is a very beautiful vacuum cleaner. Its understated gray and white color scheme made it stand out from all the garish machines on the market at the time.
I recall many households with Model Fs when I was a boy. I can think of about a dozen right off the top of my head. And there was a church where my daddy was the pastor that had one. My mom borrowed it one day when her E-A was on the fritz [we lived across the street from the church] and I was very excited to see it in our house! Of course, she forbade me to "so much as lay a finger on it!"
