You rarest Vacuum cleaner

[converto-skip]

Mine would definately be the westinghouse converto vac. These are really a rare find. I know of 2 other collectors who have them but one of the collectors his doesn't run at all. the other collector has both models and I think his blue model is complete with all the attachments but not 100% sure

another one

this was on a thread on our sister website. The Decor Vac that looks like an ottoman. It's from the 70's.

I'm on a roll!

Electrolux Commercial CA. I bought it at a San Bernardino thrift store for $25.00. It had a Olympia hose with a pigtail and a Super J Power Nozzle. I found a nice turquoise Model G hose it shares the PN with my Model G.

I don't have anything too rare, but here is a strange one. Royal 888, the head comes off like a Kirby's. (far left)

Model 875

My rarest cleaner would probably be the 1938 Hoover Model 875 - it was only sold for around half a year as a Standard-priced stop-gap model before the all-new Model 262 was introduced. Mine's all-original apart from the bag, and runs like new - in fact I used it to clean all the downstairs rooms this morning!

Bump

Converto Vac = Awesomenesss!

 

[vac_whisperer]

Hmmm. Probably my kenmore de luxe handheld, from 1932.

Here is my rarest vac...

This is probably my rarest vac....

My Electrolux Commemorative edition. It was never built to be sold, but rather given as prizes to top sales staff and branch managers. According to research, they made only 1000 of them total. I consider mine to be a little extra special though, because it was awarded to Gary Griffen who was the CEO of Electrolux at the time!

I would have to say my Innovation is my most rare vac, unless I'm not aware of the rarity of any other machine I own.

1957 Apex Strato Cleaner model 5555.

The rare vacuum I have, which is in storage and I can't get to it to take a picture of it, is a Westinghouse tank-the type on metal runners. It's the same model as the one from the episode of I Love Lucy where Lucy buys a vacuum from a door to door salesman and then has to go door to door to try to sell it. I don't have the hose or any attachments and the cord needs to be replaced, but I just love the look of it.

1925 vacuette elec.

It is my rarest, and Kirby's first elec.

 

[madabouthoovers]

Mine would have to be my Hoover Junior 1346, from 1967. this model is pretty rare and only made for less than a year in this colourway, with the pumpkin front.
Could not believe my luck when it appeared on Ebay near me. Its in great nick too.

rarest vacuum

m rarest vacuum would be my hoover model u4395. I say that it is rare because I only know of 12 existing u4395's: there are 2 people on youtube that own a u4395, there are 2 old ebay listings for a hoover u4395 (not the same person selling it), 1 active ebay listing, some guy on flickr owns a u4395, 4 people on vacuumland own a u4395, I know there was once an americanlisted poting for a u4395 for sale, and I own a u4395. so not sure if my hoover is rare or not. here is a photo of my Hoover Convertible next to my 2012 Kirby Sentria.

 

[hygiene903]

My rarest vac would probably be my Rotarex, made by Apex. It has a swiveling back wheel, original vloth cord, and a very unusual switch at the bottom of the handle. It may also be my oldest, or at least one of my oldest machines. I've never seen another one of these.

[hygiene903]

Another rare bird, and possibly a tie for the oldest in my collection, would be my SweeperVac. Haven't had a chance to do much with it yet. It does run but needs restoration work--lots of it! Most SweeperVacs I've seen are newer (and nicer) than this one.
