Hoover - Servant to the Home!

Mornings at the House of Hoover. My dog is the only thing on the vintage carpet less than 100 years old. Except for his doggy hairs which are in the Hoover bag. Model 105. 1922

I have managed to find a few over the last 50 years I’ve been collecting vacuums. A couple of them look like they just came out of the factory. Anyone with very deep pockets can contact me and we’ll discuss selling one.

I know John Gregory will appreciate this photo. It is of a wonderful Hoover Baby. 103. It still had the crumbs of the dry pepper cookies that broke the heavy cast aluminum fan. Not to worry. I fixed it. Now we need a light fixture to screw the original cord into.

What is Ellie Mae hiding behind?

Since I can’t decide, I will just have to use all three. The “old style special“ model N belonged to the late Stan Kann. The model 700 did as well. In fact, the model 700 was his favorite model Hoover. It’s interesting, and sad, that there are many vacuum collectors who have no idea who he was...

Every Home needs a new Hoover.

The War of the Roses.

Decisions. Decisions. Decisions. A model 1100 or a model 70?

Hey Jimmy Best of luck with your new bookstore. I offered the entire contents of the museum to vacuum collectors, but was still left with tons of stuff because everyone wanted it shipped. It all went into the dumpster. I have retired, and just kept my small collection of 10 uprights and 30...

Yes. She is mixed with greyhound, which makes a very strong and fast dog. She got out the front door on me once and was all the way down the street before I could barely turn around. She’s 13 years old now, so mostly she just sheds hair for the vacuums to pick up. I have no problem with that...

I have heard nothing but positive feedback from the movie theater that bought two Hushtones from me. I ordered them a case of the paper bags when they got the two machines, and they have not had any complaints.

Commercial Hoovers are very under-appreciated. I think they clean very well.

John Gregory: the battle of the professional Hoover models has begun. This is our version of American ninja Warrior. Who will win?

Before one can use a vintage Hoover, one needs dog hair for the Hoover to remove from the rug. Missy has no problem supplying border collie hair. The question is, which vintage Hoover to use?

You can’t go wrong with a Hoover 25.

My 2 old dogs, just chilling out on a very old rug, kept spotlessly clean by two extremely old Hoovers. Not one dog hair left. On the left is the Hoover model 475, and on the right is “The Greater Hoover” model 700. 1935 on the left and 1926 on the right. Make every home a Hoover home!

There is a long and sordid tale behind the life of the red carpet I have down in my house. There is another rug just like it, but larger, that will go down once I get my new hardwood floors. They are installing next week.Now the rugs are mine, and my Hoover‘s clean them just perfectly. Here is...
