So technically that color was their Deep wine burgundy and not really a purple. Hoover had many models in the Deep wine burgundy color over the years or very similar shade to it: Hoover Preferred uprights (Elite Style direct air) Hoover Dimension Dirt Finder above Hoover Windtunnel upright...

I forget the explanation, I think it was to counter balance weight. These power heads are very easy to maneuver, steer and push!! Honestly the real explanation is probably just by design. It was a 12" nozzle. Hoover used a straight forward directing duct that flared out into the brush area...

That's a very nice S3611 PowerMax Supreme canister that you have Martin187! That machine is circa 1994- 1998 The original picture in this post is a Google image from a Craigslist ad that I saw years ago and is still passing around Google. It's a small photo and hard to tell the exact model...

Kmart had a black one! It was a PowerMax Runabout S3614. Same features as the burgundy S3607 that you posted but added a brush roll on/ off switch. I also believe there was a black PowerMax S3609 that had controls on hose handle for brush roll on/ off and full machine on/off but I have never...

GE Power Head Hello Good Sir! I wish to inquire of the green GE power head in above photo for the 106766 canister. How is the overall condition of that nozz;e? Do rear wheels wobble or roll straight? Motor sound good? I just acquired one of those canisters. It's in ok shape but could use...

Congrats! Personally, I've never been much of a Sebo fan but I will say that the E series canister is extremely quiet and also very powerful suction and airflow. I'm sure it will do excellent for you and they are definitely a very well built machine that will last a long time. I'm shocked...

Central Vacuums have come a long way with vast feature array Two of the most popularly recommended lines right now are MD and VacuFlo. CycloVacs is also very good but many seem to be going with VacUFlo over that. A consumer could get a basic Beam or low end Nutone setup that had a single...

I'm sure Hoover had a studio with some sort of bland, generic background. Think about when you were in K - 12 grades and had annual school photos. The professional photographer had a backdrop of some sort with bright lights angled a certain way. Many companies have employees get professional...

That's a shame the fan broke. There are still some vac shops out there that have back stock of parts and they appear on eBay every so often too. They are a great machine, just watch what you suck up. Some of those were louder over others.

Happy Belated Birthday Hoover!! I sure do miss how they were back in the day! Photos of various models I've had and/ or still have over the years.

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...
