If I need above floor or hard floor vacuuming my first choice is my new Royal 4150.
Which ones do you seem to use the most?

Lastly I often choose either the Tristar CLX or Filter Queen Limited Edition.

Mike,
Since your 4.5 amp 880 is a 1983 model, may I ask you for the serial number from that machine, please?
Example: G83-D-62491
Thank you,
Ben

At the moment it's the Miele S 194 upright. Very practical in use if you clean up the kitchen after cooking or dinner and very strong suction. For the weekly clean up I use the Nilfisk GM 80. In my atelier, the Miele S 381 makes a good job and there I keep also my all time favorit vacuum Hoover 1354A junior de luxe and my newest acquirement, a Tornado BE 5 from the 60ties (my mothers first vacuum).
There are Hoover Convertibles and Constellations
strategically placed all over the house. There's usually one almost at arm's length. They're all Hoovers, so, any one of them is a right choice.... for me.

Which Ones Do I Use the Most?
I can't really think of primarily one... most likely my 1969 Kirby D80 or 1984 Heritage 84.

My most used vacs or Daily Drivers are my Kirby G3 and Sentria.
I keep my Kirby D50 plugged in all the time as I use it for quick pickups. The cord reaches 90% of my spacious apartment.
Occasionally I also use my Kirby Heritage II Legend and my Royal Everlast 8300 just to keep them in good running condition.
I will soon be getting a Kirby Classic III that will join in the rotation once I have completely gone thru it and checked it out. It was supposedly refurbished by a Kirby dealership not long ago.

I actually found this one in endicott at the A to Z vac shop. It was a trade In and like almost always they cut the cords and stick them out back for the scrap guy. I'll tell you though the thing is MINT with next to no flaws other than a flat spot in the hose which I can't get out. Other than that it's smooth and powerful.

I Use..
My Kirby Heritage II! Love to use it on the carpet. It's therapeutic. Is it just me being weird or do other people calm down when using a Kirby? Heck,just taling about it makes me want to use it right now!!

I used to use a Kirby Omega
to clean the church! That thing was big, brown, loud.... But, it cleaned that church. Wasn't thrilled with that belt apparatus.

The only "scary" vac I knew of was a Sears Craftsman "shop vac" my Dad used to have when I was a child.Had the hardboard drum.After he gave me a haircut he would vacuum the clippings out of my hair.At first felt like my hair was going to be sucked out of my head by that thing.Later--looked FORWARD to having my hair vacuumed with that vacuum!

Use the most....
For house cleanings, I've been taking my Simplicity Verve a lot lately. It has HEPA filtration, variable speeds and parts are still made for it, as it's my newest vac.
For cleaning my house, I tend to choose from a variety of power nozzle canisters. Lately I've getting into my newest additions-- 2 Panasonics the most. The 2nd picture is about 2 months old and doesn't have my most recent Panasonic. But it shows most of my power nozzles.
