Was this the Hoover Model 930? :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:🤯🤯

I think Hoover delegated model numbers to particular product ranges, so each grouping of models had their own range, similar to how commercial trucks are given model numbers.

Yes it's from the service manuals that dealers get. The problem is people that buy these service manuals and snipe them from eBay auctions will hoard them away and never share the info, so it benefits nobody. Luckily with the invention of newspapers.com and @paul here on Vacuumland who digs...

im sure theres more posted, i probably just dont remember what the title of the thread was. im certain i remember seeing someone with big 3 ring binders, its been so long ago.

yeah i plan to have fans running on a timer to circulate the air. Once they are restored ill have them sealed in those big clear trash bags like schools use so it will keep them clean and hopefully keep the mold away.

Thanks for posting those ads, I had no idea its' official name was "Mobile Speed Cleaner". That must be what "MC" in the model stands for? Mobile Cleaner. This must be why it's rare. $69.95 in 1957 would be $808.53 today! PS: it reminds me of the LEGO cleanup tool that I had when I was a kid.

I found the list I was remembering, it was for Hoover. https://vacuumland.org/threads/date-range-for-hoover-305.9373/#post-103039

I just came across this post again and after finding a couple of vacuums in my garage that have their rubber looking like this that didn't when I put them away in there 2 years ago. I can say what this is - mildew. Lots and lots of mildew.It grows in the pores of the rubber and makes it all look...

I've never heard of such a thing, is that really real? Maybe it was a prototype?

You just reminded me I have one of these, mine is teal. I THINK if you dig around in the archives someone here has posted their complete sets a long time ago on the site back in the 2000s.

Did they make all of them, or were they just a general contractor? Why were these specially branded with their logos and no other Electrolux parts were?

What you need to know about the DC series is they have flaws in the cyclone design. If you exceed the max fill line, the filters will just reverse flow (anticyclonic) and start sucking up the dust from the bin and pack it into the filter instead. It's a complicated physics thing I won;t pretend...

Yeah that's too much work and BS, forget it. When I buy on Mercari you are shown everything all at once and Mercari does all that. No tariffs or having to proxy or consolidate shipping couriers, its all included in the item cost on the site. One click and it's ordered and they do all of that...

That's the same auction I saw, and I said the same thing! The name only traces back to those extension wands, I tried looking for the rest of the vacuum but I do not think it ever existed. Maybe some commercial use outfitter that supplied heavier duty wands?

Playing with my Grt grandma's Electrolux Golden Jubilee and riding it around, watching it explode in a fireball when the motor died when my mom was vacuuming in the 90s. My mom had a Eureka World Vac then came the visit from the dreaded Kirby salesman. So I have a liking to Electrolux and Kirby...
