Beautiful machine! :)

I only use vintage cleaners. Nothing else touches my carpets! If they are maintained properly and serviced, they will last for another forty or fifty years!

Save your $600 The agitator in the Hoover will always out clean anything on the market today.Hoover's "triple action" cleaning principle is simple, yet very efficient. The Convertibles were designed to clean carpets...that's it. No on board tools, hoses, or other nonsense. If you are wanting to...

Congrats! Awesome find!! There are not many of those out there! :)

Fasten your seat belts... Fred, Tarantula Arms is stunning! After seeing that video I need an dirty martini with extra olives! I think you are spot on about the vacuums. I truly believe it will be memorable for the potential buyer. Who knows? They may even ask to buy a vintage cleaner from...

WOW! Beautiful 26! I wish mine had the original bag! Yours is in gorgeous condition! Mine is in nice shape, still has the bumper on the hood...only blemish is a paint chip on the front of the nozzle. Amazing cleaner! (I am an awful photographer)

Wiki page Yeah, it has finally been updated with some factual information! It's about time! That page was AWFUL before!

It's a beautiful cleaner, William! Where'd you find it? ;) Also, I meant to say *cause it TO fail...not "go fail".

SAE 30 in an electric motor, really? I have a close friend who owns a vac repair/sales shop, he said to use 3 in 1 electric motor oil (in the blue and white bottle)..I believe you know him as well, Dave. SAE 30 will only gum up the bearing, and eventually cause it to go fail. I'd take his...

Hoover 305 Beautiful machine! ;-)

Beautiful machines!

Is that not the infamous Don Clark power nozzle? I have heard these are beyond rare, and catch a rather high price when the do sell.

Welcome! :)I am a Hoover lover too (if you couldn't tell) lol.

I would LOVE to see that patent!

Hoover Would have been really cool if Hoover would have produced this power nozzle! As you can see, the patent was submitted in September of 1919. This pre-dates Airway by almost ten years. Really cool design...
