Suckolux, most of us here will get much better service out of a given vacuum regardless of quality just because most of us have some empathy for equipment and are diligent enough to change filters, not blow bags out and generally not abuse things. We could probably make the meanest Bissel last...

Off the top of my head I don't know. The Hoover website will usually answer those questions. If you know the model numbers, enter these into the Hoover website and write down the part numbers of what you are looking for. Compare part numbers with the other models to see what crosses. Another...

Always another side to the story.

Watch the auction and see if this fisherman reels anything. Doesn't look like very tasty bait.

It's capitalism folks. In the market doubt is a health attribute. But, no one is twisting your arm to buy anything. If someone does, that is their business. Can't blame someone for trying to make a buck. The seller has to convince someone their product is worth the price, and maybe for...

You haven't lived until you have opened your box to find your now broken vacuum wrapped in someone's disco era sweat suit among other "packing" materials.

Just curious. Is this the Chinese copy from Dust Care or did you get a Mexican assembled one used by Pansasonic/Hayden/Cen-Tec/Nutone and previously by Kenmore?

Does anyone really believe advertising claims made for any product? Why go through all the cost and effort of suing over exaggerated ad claims? Apply some personal filters and approach all product claims with a degree of doubt. As my parents drilled into my head from as early as I can...

Toyota started producing Land Cruisers in 1951. Studebaker still had 15 more years to go before folding it's tent.

Sounds like the Hoover has nothing really bad going on. Filters get replaced while the vacuum is apart for sanitizing anyway. If you can't find the original make one out of bulk filter material. Hoover plastics back then were really good and scratches can be polished out with any ultra fine...

I think you'll find it well made. Their canisters from that period were top quality products. The plastics Hoover was using then are high quality and shine up amazingly well. I use Harley Davidson scratch and swirl remover and get a deep mirror finish. Any ultra fine auto polish ought to work...

I dunno. I guess if you have the time it might be ok. I don't. Vacuuming gets squeezed in between getting up at 0445 and jumping into the shower at 0500 (bust a sweat before jumping into the shower) to go to work (out the door by 0600), or maybe after dinner if the dog hair shed since the...

I can't get past the weight and having to dump water, clean it carefully and dry it out after every use. There is no such thing grabbing a Rainbow for a quick clean up then stuffing it back into the closet so you can get on with your day. If you are not hard core about always cleaning the...

Fantomfan, you don't post your e-mail on your profile so I have to sorta drop my drawers in public here ^_^ If you really are selling let me know if you want to sell the Hoover Dimension or either your oldest or newest Kenmore canister.
