Thought I would start another question thread :P

Just to put it short n' sweet ~ mine is a tough one. I'm drawn between the Hoover Turbopower Boost U2716 and the Hoover Turbopower 1000 U2812 :/

Whats yours?

Yes Hoover is my personal favorite vintage brand if you hadn't of guessed haha :P
 
You had to ask...?

Well for me it's my Kirbys! I realize that they're not everybody's  cup of tea, but for me there's nothing like the feel of a quality metal vacuum in my hand. With my two G series Kirby's I can hear the brushroll beating the carpet at 3900 Rpm. That's how I know my carpet is being truly deep cleaned. I also love the sound of the powerful motor and the sound of the constant whoosh of air moving through the machine by that huge fan. It sort of sounds like a jet engine. And that's why I love Kirbys.
 
The Rainbow D2 with Power Nozzle. You do not store the dirt in the cleaner. It does not lose suction. You can do any cleaning job around the house, including picking up liquids. It has no ongoing costs. Can't think of any other machine that is as versatile.
 
Kirby all day!

Can't choose between just one, I have three favorite Kirbys.

My favorite contemporary is my Kirby Ultimate G Diamond Edition. I love its power and its Delicate Switch, which cuts the motor to half power. Makes great for cleaning up hair from haircuts or manscaping, without tearing your skin off! I also really like results of its shampoo system. My carpets still look new(ish).

My favorite vintage model is between my Kirby 515 and Kirby Dual Sanitronic 50. I love their power, as well as their light weight and small profile. As uprights, they get into tight corners very well, under lots of furniture easily, and leave beautiful Kirby lines on the carpet. And they are way older than me!!! The 515 is a loud beast, while the Sanitronic 50 is more quiet yet performs just as powerfully.

Kirby!!!!!
 
If you had to ask me...

It would be the Fantom Fury! I owned one when I was a little kid. That thing was amazing! It was sleek, quiet and pulled out LOTS of dirt from our carpets! Its dual-cyclonic technology (licensed to Fantom from Dyson) used 2 powerful cyclones to capture dirt and debris.

Sadly, my parents got rid of the Fury when we moved out of our apartment in the summer of 2001. In addition, Fantom made some disastrous business decisions and ended up going out of business later that year. Nowadays, these vacuums are hard to find. Even finding a Fantom in excellent condition is rare!

And that's why I love the Fantom Fury. It holds a special place in my early childhood, and I truly feel that it is a masterpiece of a vacuum cleaner.
 
Aw bless, but hey atleast your mum has a Dc07 animal now! those came out in 2001 :P Its in good condition too, well done on keeping it so pristine!

I am a little confused as to why there are like millions of Dyson Dual cyclones (DC01-DC05 models) still in use and Fantoms are rare though, I mean th Dysons were brittle
 
After some hard thinking I think it would have to be the U2716 as my favorite :) I love all my machines don't get me wrong it's just I love this one more :P

Decisions, decisions. As far as cylinders go, that's any easy one. Sebo D4 every time.

For uprights, I would agree that the Electrolux 500/Twin style cleaner is hard to beat. I've always considered these to be the high point as far as uprights are concerned, with things starting to go downhill after that.
