Yes, the motors and performers and performance were very good before they choked on too much dust.

The red brush roll is the give away along with the facts of several bristle tufts between end and belt area. I believe it was one of these Hoover Windunnel cyclonic units. There were a few different variants depending on the actual vendor you bought it from and the year.

That's model 6984 circa 2005. Eureka sold Power nozzle canisters up until about 2017. There were several canisters available at that time including the 6982D which still had the WorldVac power nozzle and not the newer 12" power head that was also branded as the Beam Classic. The last of the...

That gray model PopNGo canister is a new style power head for the Kenmore lineup. It has a hair wrap prevention feature. This model is the only model of the series, other than the red plush pro power nozzle PopNGo that has a headlight. I have the navy blue PopNGo 600 that I got in February...

Central vacs have certainly come a long way over the years and there are many styles. The bagless ones can be messy as some involve sticking a brush up inside to clear built up dirt off a screen. Beam units were notorious for having what was called the Bean bag filter. You had to bang it out...

According to Google sources, the merger happened on September 30, 2022. Quite shocking indeed!

The 6000 was model S3613 , it was rated at 9.8 amps and on the market till about 1998. It had the same feature set as my PowerMax S3603-040 of the same time.

I got my TurboPower 5000 S3577 about 3 years ago off of eBay. I also have the 5000 that followed which was the S3612 PowerMax Deluxe style. I got the S3612 last December, it was a trade in at a friends vac shop. Cool find on the PowerMax 950 from Craigslist. That's an era of Hoover that I...

The S3601 is a great unit. It really wasn't base unit. It was part of the last of the PowerMax line and since the Windtunnel line joined the market, Hoover gave feature preference to the Windtunnels over the PowerMax series. The end of the run of the PowerMax Deluxe series with the tan S3601...

The white colored Z400 was the base model of the Z platform with a few less features over the sky blue. Definitely an odd ball machine and you can't bash Hoover for trying something new. It did work. Heck I find Kirbys unique and awkward.

That is uncommon. This photo is from a vacuum store that specialized in Hoover. Hoover went through a phase with various Windtunnels with minimal logos and I'm not sure why. I prefer when they had the Windtunnel decal and more on them. The blue one is a basic 13" Windtunnel. The gray one...

Someone just posted for a brand new DigiPro power head. Check the SuperMarket thread again.

Thank you very much! I'm interested!! Do you have a price? Interested in shipping? Thanks! What's the best way to make arrangements with you?

If you think I'm kidding on what people call things, I'm not!! Years ago collector friends and I used to do all sorts of searches on eBay, just combine different things: vacuum: vacume, vaccum, vaccumme, vakuum canister: cansetter, cansister, canisteer I've seen Hoover Futura canister...

Often times buying a full machine on eBay is cheaper than parts. I have seen many sellers sell vacuums in pieces. They will a sell a hose, power head, suction unit, tool set, etc all separate Each listing might range from $20 - $100 plus shipping. Likewise, you might find an entire machine...
