Hoover model 28. My best running vacuum. Puuuring along. Best looking hoover 28 base I have ever seen. Commercial 913 dump out bag.

Hoover 29 from 1950ish. Beautiful clean vacuum. Good condition. Very little paint loss. Nice bag that kidna matches.

I have the original box and attachments and carrier for the 29 too!

Hoover convertible model 1020. Mint condition. Base is dirty, and brush roll was rusted to death, but the top is very mint. No paint loss. Few scratches on hood. NICE original bag.

Kenmore twin fan 1979 model. Great condition as well

Last!

Hoover swingette from the 70s.

Hoover portapower. Great little vacuum. ALL attachments and original box. Excellent suction.

And my daily driver. The late 80s hoover Powermax. AWESOME vacuum. Very powerful. The power drive makes it a breeze to push. Very loud though.

Nice collection. Be careful they will multiply =)

 

[washernoob]

Hehe

No kidding! A few weeks ago I had about 8, and I thought that was a lot! now I have over 2x that!

I am always looking for my dream vacs. I keep those, and if I dont like others I have, I sell them or trade them around.

Like my hoovers. The 3 antique ones will never go anywhere! The brown 28, and 29 maybe for something like a commercial 913 style hoover, or a miele. But thats about it.

The convertibles have really grown on me and I love them. So I will probably keep the 1020 and one of the restored 344s.

The twin fan I dont want much. Just got it because it was only $5 along with the hoover 1020.

Powermax will stay as I like it too much.

And you can all pry that d80 from my cold dead hands.

Lux. dont care much for them. I want a NEW Aerus lux, but that and a canadian lux is about all I like in the lux lines. I love the white model G and L, and the super j, but not a whole lot like my hoovers.

That powermax is an interesting looking machine, I dont remember seeing those here.

Is that the same Bag that was used on the Concept 1 and 2?

 

[washernoob]

Yep- same bag and all

It is a concept in almost every way.

They just cut out the front piece and stuck tools in it. And put the new tool style converter on. Like the Elite that replaced it.

The base is slightly different in design, but other than that its the same. A bit louder I may say! But probably cleans the same.

My dream is a concept two electronic. But this powermax is very very nice.

Probably, in many peoples opinions, the last good hoover ever built.

Nice collection!

Very nice collection Brandon, thanks for sharing it with us.

 

[washernoob]

Thanks Terry, Kenny, and others!

Great collection!! If you ever need any Hoover parts (I have a spare hose and tools from an early 50s model- an 850 I think) or Electrolux tools, let me know. I am trying to 'rationalize' my collection and I am looking for good homes for them...

 

[washernoob]

850

AAAAAAAAAAAAACKKKKK!

Would you happen to have the 850 machine? Thats one of my most wanted dream machines! I dont think any of my old hoovers can accept that type of converter, but I appreciate the offer!

Would you happen to have any later vinyl hoses? (I think they made them in the 90s and still use them today.

Looking for one that will fit a 1205 style machine.

Thanks!

PS

The model 850 hoover is actually from the late 30s I believe. Great neat machine! One of hoovers best.
