All of my vacs

I guess the more I thought about this in reality all of my vacs are my favorites as i do use all of them and I have right at 220 vacs give or take, but I do use them all because I want to keep them all running in tip top shape. My kirby 561 totally suprised me as I store it in the old house and we kept putting things in the old house to where my 561 was buried for like 6 years without ever being turn on at all. from 1997 to 2001 it was buried so when I finally unburied it in 2001 and brought it in the house and I plugged it in I fired up right away, i really thought for sure the bearing would have been bad but they weren't

My trio of favorites........

If I had to grab three, and it would be a tough decision, it would be these.

The beautiful art deco Air-Way Model 35, "The Chief", the Dreyfuss designed Hoover Model 150 and sleek understated Hoover Model 64, "Citation."

This color scheme

is just so calming and lovely to the eye. And I love the way the word Citation is spelled diagonally up the bag in the matching red of the word Hoover on the bag and hood. Also, note the small Hoover decal at the base of the handle.......musical, just musical!

Understated flawless elegance. Hoover at it's best.

The 64 Citation....

Hey Charlie

Thats one BEAUTIFUL Hoover- is it restored or original?....we only had the 638 in that design over here . Im guessing that the 64 was the 1st upright model to actually have the familar red HOOVER badge on the cleaner???
