How much are you asking?

The U4007 is next on my "must-have" list of Hoovers! I just love the color combination of the bag, with the orange and dark green swirls against the gold background. Very 1970s psychedelic chic!

I wholeheartedly agree, the Hoover Convertible (Custom, Deluxe, or basic) was indeed an excellent vacuum cleaner. Being the proud owner of several models (Including the U4003), I have nothing but glowing praise for that series which, in my opinion, is a very happy marriage of durability...

Yes, Hoover did Indeed make a Power Drive Dial-A-Matic cleaner for Montgomery Ward during the 1970s It was catalog number 870, with the base finished in "Aztec Gold", and the rest of the cleaner finished in "Frosting White." There is a picture of it in thread 27777, which I believe is titled...

Those cleaners are GREAT! I have an earlier version of that same model (with the older, Dial-A-Matic style tools.) It pairs very well with my Hoover Guardsman upright to form a total floor-to-ceiling cleaning system (the Guardsman for rugs and carpets, the PortaPower for everything else.) The...

As far as bags are concerned, your best bet would probably be a long-established vacuum cleaner repair shop or hardware store. The bags you need are Eureka style K bags.

Seems your pilgrimage was very fruitful indeed! That Super Portable is Gorgeous! I just love the three-tone Taupe color scheme Hoover used on their high-end cleaners back in the early 1970s. And how fortunate are you to have not one, but TWO model 29 uprights in such enviable condition. I would...

Unfortunately, I do not have the cleaning tools as of this writing-though not for lack of trying. I searched high and low through every shelf and bin at the Taylor Value World store, but came up empty-handed. Still, hope springs eternal! I will definitely go to B&D Vacuum Cleaner in Southgate...

While shopping at a local thrift store yesterday, I picked up a Hoover Custom Convertible U4003, serial number 173731, for the princely sum of only $3.00! Everything is original and still in very good shape, with the only fly in the ointment being that the furniture guard is missing. The cleaner...

Here is mine The Hoover Deluxe Convertible model U4423, styled in Olympic Blue and Oyster White. This production sample was made in March of 1988.

Your Hoover Elite 350 was manufactured in March of 1989, as indicated by the first four digits of the serial number. The original bag was white with a faint beige interlocking hexagonal pattern. Below is the specification sheet showing the cleaner with its original bag.

The Hoover Celebrity was introduced in 1973, with a line of three straight-suction models; the S3001 (the deluxe model), the S3003 (the midrange model), and the S3005 (the basic "air-ride"model.) The first power-nozzle models, known as the Celebrity II, were introduced in 1974.

With the Hoover shampooer/polishers, the carpet shampoo brushes will have soft, long black bristles around just the outer periphery of each brush. The floor scrubbing/polishing brushes will have quite stiff, beige and yellow bristles which cover the entire mounting plate of each brush (save for...

It is indeed from the latter half of the 1970s. That is the model SP854A, which was tested by Consumer Reports in 1976. This model, and the Wards UHO 870 (the Wards twin of the Hoover Power Drive Dial-A-Matic) were both recommended in view of their good performance. The SP870A was further...

That is one of the original color schemes from when the Concept One was introduced in 1978. The official Hoover color names are Horizon Blue Light and Jamaican Blue.

That is the same model my mother had when she was first married! It is model 1136, made from 1971-1974, finished in Flemish Blue and shades of Taupe. For me, this was the Hoover that started it all! Many fond memories of this cleaner!

The typeface used for the words "Top-Fill Bag" and "Deluxe Top-Fill Bag System" is called Handel Gothic, which is the same font used for the general wording on the hood.

My personal favorite is "America Trusts Hoover to Take Good Care of Its Homes."

Personally, I think you got quite a deal, finding a Hoover Convertible for only five dollars! Being the owner of two Convertibles myself (and a very similar Guardsman), you will be most impressed with its performance, as well as its longevity! Below is my model U4303, from 1980, which is of...

Ian The vacuum cleaner you saw in Close Encounters of the Third Kind was a Hoover Convertible model 1076, which was finished in Ceylon Yellow and Light, Medium, and dark Taupe.
