I can't decide which one to sell. I have a Dirt Devil Signature Series Hand Vac with a 2 speed GS Electric motor and a Plus Machine with a 3 amp Johnson Motor. Which one should I keep.
Which One Is Better

This is an interesting question to me. Perhaps I don't understand the notion of not keeping them both, and even getting another.
Those are so tiny, they take up no space. They can't be worth a ton, so it can't be for the money.
Is someone putting you up to this?
If you have to hide them, I'd find a shoebox and toss the shoes ~

my thoughts exactly unless you really need the money. I like little hand vacs but I like the old metal ones- like the Royal Prince that was mentioned. I use it all the time. mom uses it, the housekeeper uses it...it's very popular around here. my Prince isn't that old-I got mine in the mid 90s

Actually,
I bought a Model 103 for my Dad as a father's day gift ever since our Dirt Devil Ultra broke and he likes the 103 much better than the Ultra. I was just curious as to which ones last longer since I'm not interested in collecting the hand vacs.

I hate to be a downer, but don't expect to get much selling either of them. $20 tops if you sell to someone who thinks it is really special.
The most valuable in the bunch, in my opinion, is the "Plus." What makes it valuable is its 3-amp motor. That motor can be directly transplanted into any Dirt Devil Broom Vac. This is a good trick people who own Broom Vacs should be aware of. If you need a new Broom Vac motor, you won't be able to find an original. However, a "Plus" motor is exactly the same and will swap right in! I've done that before with two of my Broom Vacs.

I've made my decision
I will keep all three of them (including the model 103).
