I've seen it on a couple older and slightly newer Hoovers. Most of them were from machines that had heavy use, such as a Hoover I was given by a lady that cleans houses...Worn to nubs. And I've gotten 2 Hoover elites recently that had worn down to a point where it wasn't picking up in one...

Let's see My mom insists her 3 yr old Bissell is a good machine, but she pretends not to like my Lux Discovery II that I brought over for her to try out. At my dad's house, his wife does the vacuuming with his old Bissell Lift away, and there's a Eureka capture given to them by my grandma that...

ncovert That Hoover brushroll doesn't look too bad. Those nicks are probably from repeatedly picking up small sharp objects like stones, or other stuff like that. I've never had to replace one of those brushrolls unless the brushes were completely worn down or the bearings were melted. Grease...

any elites? or are you talking newer than that??

I am in need of some small parts for Hoover Elites. I have 3 Elites that are supposed to have color matching height adjustment knobs. I know my local vac store has a hard time getting the standard black ones, so there's no point in asking about colored ones. I need a small, dark blue one a...

I only have one There are tons of vacs that would be nice to have, but I whould have no desire to chase unless they were free! However, the 1 and only machine I would go cross-country for is a Hoover Legacy 730.

I know of another collector that has one of those. I don't know if that ran the same production years as the powerdrive, but the powerdrive was 94-97'. Looks very basic compared to the proper (Hoover) version.

It's nice but not $150 nice, if you know what I mean. They are hard to find but I don't think they'll ever achieve the status of collector-worthy. I'd like to get one just to have a functional one again but my similar kenmore does a very nice job.

far as I'm aware that is the lite plus. Along time ago my mom cleaned for a lady that had that vacuum. It's kinda on my list of machines I'd like. You ask me it's an original featherlite with height adjustment!

I am in no way in favor of TTI machines, even if they do work well. That said, I was working in this nice lady's house for 2 days painting some rooms, and she had that upright/canister pair. She let us use them to clean up some small messes. The canister as noted by fellow members is definitely...

I never reallly had that problem, because it was in my early-mid teen years that I was at the vacuum store sometimes 2-3x a week getting parts and asking questions, and because there are only 2 stores in my area, and 1 within biking distance, I always went/go to the same place. I have never been...

Any hoover powerdrive upright(concept,powermax/drive) imo produces good lines. Kenmore canisters with 3+ rows of bristles/beaters look quite nice also. Funny story; my mom has insisted for the last 11 years Bissell bagless machines are good. She was intrigued about my lux discovery when I was...

Thats a tough one. a windtunnel with a fresh belt is probably on par with a concept, but a concept doesn't need a fresh belt to beat a windtunnel. I do like that the windtunnel has a hose, but its short and springy and nearly useless at that. I dont like the snap-on pull-off bag door either. The...

Do you still have the hoover conquest and amway clear trak? I would also be interested in odd-ball elites.

cute,I'll give him hat but I wouldnt think that to be rare. Nice to display next to a rug doctor if you have one!!

Beating your carpet. I think for a vacuum to thoroughly clean a carpet it needs good suction and stiff bristles, no beater bar necessary., The bristles loosen it, and suction picks it up. So I don't see how beaters are of any use with good brushes. I have also found stiff-bristled vacs are...

I read this and I showed my dad, who has 6,200 sq.ft. of house in which 60% of the most used floor space on the 1st floor is tiled floors. If I don't need a renovator for my g5 to use this, I'll tell him to buy it and I know he will if we can just slap it on my G5 and go to work!

Back in the day.... Before I was aware I wasn't the only one collecting vacuums, I used to think there was something wrong with everyone else for not at least thinking vacuums was an interesting hobby to take up. Never once did I think I was strange for my likes. Though, then and now I still...

I need a 1-cb or equivalent safety/speed switch if anyone has one of those.

this kind of activity might have been going on for a while, it might explain the overall tastelessness and lack of quality in machines made within the last 15 years.
