The upper one is a Hoover PowerMax. The circled red one in my photo on the right is an entry level Hoover Futura with manual wrap storage. That power head would not have a headlight and have a single row bristle agitator. The one in that photo is missing another wand which makes it look very...

PowerClean & PureAir Series I would love to try one of these. I know they are supposed to be very loud just like Eureka Bravos but they look really neatt!

PowerTrak Revolution I have always thought the color scheme of these was awesome!

Most of those vacs are made by a company called, King Clean, located in China.

Do you have a photo of the one received? Many vac shops have a variety of old tools, you might check your local store. What color is the tool set on your Elite, gray, beige or black?

Great Photos Kenny! I had a great time at my first full convention and second partial.

Sorry to hear you are selling much of your collection. Lots of nice vacs there! I was hoping you might have the navy blue Futura upright but no such luck for me. Best wishes! Try looking up Greg Palmer, owner of Empire Vacuum in Manlius. He may have interest in some or know people of interest.

Hoover A bag was Top fill. It came out on Convertibles of the late 70s / early 80s as bottom fill Hoover C bags started to slowly fade away. One of the coolest Hoover A bag machines is the Decade 800 series. They had the same hood as some Convertible Elites and Decade 80 models. However...

The HEPA is very much worth it!

I have yet to try a GE or Premier canister. I've tried Oreck mini canisters and find them meh. Hoover PortaPowers and Eureka Mighty Mites are also good. Haven't tried the Supraquick yet but everything Tacony makes is very powerful! It should tied with the Simplicity Sport. You should try a...

I use upright vacs for quick cleaning and canisters for most all else. A canister with cord winder is a cinch to take in and out and do the job for me. I love power npzzle canisters for most tasks. I have dedicated wand sets with bare floor brushes so I don't have to swap a power nozzle off...

I wouldn't fret over $40 for a Decade 800. They are a fun, great cleaning machine and easy to service. Go for it. I have two Decades. The Decade 800s feature: Long cord 4 height adjustment Dual headlight bulbs large capacity Hoover A bag, available in HEPA Hoover Beater bar well reknowned...

Riccar Supralite F bags will fit Dirt Devil D. I have used them in two Dirt Devil Featherlite uprights.

Yes, Rob Walton I was perfectly well aware of that! Very easy to tell when I opened up the unit that there were many more cogs on the belt and pulleys compared to several years ago. Aerus will never re-join with Electrolux AB. Electrolux AB is leaving the vacuum market. Aerus separated off...

I have two Decades and neither rattles. Are your brush roll bearings in good shape huskyvac? Also the metal brush rolls can warp.

Someone butchered that hose! That was a Top of the Line model and originally would have come with an 8' hose. That one has been shrunk down. Excellent machines!

I have always been a lover of Hoover power head canisters. From the early Celebrity to the later PowerMax/ Futura/ Spectrum/ Windtunnel S bag style units. I really like them. We also can't forget the awesome headlight of their Decade style hoods as seen in the last photo.

You're welcome. The PortaPower is a good machine. But if you want something with a lot more power, larger bag capacity, a wheeled system, the Bissell or Perfect will prove well for you. If you think of it and get a chance, check out or even call your local vac shop to see if they have one in...

You might want to think about doubling up the layer of your 1/4" thick donut for the exhaust filter. The wheel base depth is closer to 5/8" deep from what I remember and a good muffler will fill the entire depth so that the foam rests up against the machine itselt once the wheel base is...

The blue on that Kenmore upright is HOT!! I probably would've bought it just for being blue. aahahaha
