todays vac I would buy a new Hoover Dial a Matic in a heartbeat. It's simple hose hook up and good suction made it the best all around vac I ever owned. Plus, it was the only upright I ever used that followed you around with the hose attached and did not tip over like todays uprights. The Kirby...

Everytime this vac appears as vac of the day I am in awe.I always wonder why it didn't hang around for years. Has anyone ever used one?

I really enjoy the vac of the day and check it everyday.Todays Hoover is what I feel is the one of the most beautiful. Love that hood color and wild bag. Being a child of the 70's I remember well the designs in clothes that seemed to have even spilled over to vac bags.

Citation Thank you all. Maybe I will remember now.

I love the photo of the vac of the day, the Hoover Citation. I think I asked this before, but I have forgotten. Did that model have a 2 speed motor? If not how much wattage? If it was only a one speed 420 watt, how was tool suction?

I saw a beautiful DAM on Ebay. It does not have a rug adjustment. I had one and it had a lever on the front to adjust. How do you adjust this model, which must have been an early one?I am partial to DAMS, as it was my first vac in my first place, and I have always wanted to replace it.

take that Lucy Do you have the tool set? If so what is the suction like with the hose?

1 or 2 speed If the side conversion were only 1 speed motors at 400 watts how was the suction with tools? Was it worse then the Convertibles?

Wondering if pre Convertible Hoover uprights came with a high speed for tools? Example: The Citation? IF they were just one speed motors, what was the wattage?

GE That GE is the vac I grew up with. My brother was terrified of it.IT was my parents first vac bought in 1948. We had it until the early 70's. IT went to the repair shop many times. It just kept falling apart. In the end nothing stayed put anymore. The hose was very difficult to attach. When...

Kirby bag I had the Classic 3 and I had it converted to the F and G and it did not work right after that. I now have a rebuilt Legend 2 and I love it. You can't beat a Kirby on carpets. I recently bought a Filter Queen Majestic, had a new hose made for it,10 feet, bought some new tools and it...

What became of Universal vacs? If I remember their small appliance line got bought out by GE in the 60's.

Elite I have had a vac like that forever. Nice, simple and powerful. It now resides at my x's house. Never bought the tool set, not fond of front connections.

portable I had a portable i bought used, and it very poor suction. I did not know there was all those filters. Maybe it was clogged and I did not know it. Shame, gave it to Goodwill where I got it. Really enjoying these reports. I found one on Mixers that was listed on the side. It was a review...

GE How long was that GE around? How good did the tools work? There seems to be a long time when GE was not making uprights. Am I correct?

Sunbeam I love anything Sunbeam. Their motto used to be built with integrity,backed by service. Now it is here is a piece of crap that cannot be repaired.It hurts my heart. It is the brand I grew up with, sold and we had a repair service here in green bay. So sad...................

Hi, I seem to have lost Dave Olson's address to send my dues.Could someone please help? Thanks, Chan55

Hoover My friends got the 707 for a wedding gift 39 years ago in June.

Universal Any info on the Universal line? We had a Universal Coffematic when I was a kid, great perk. When did they stop making vacs? I know they sold their small appiainces to GE in the 60's.

Kirby I just bought a Kirby Heritage from a dealer. It was fully rebuilt, looks and runs like new and shines like a dime. I love it.I probably paid too much, but he did give me a warranty, a pack of bags, all the attachments, and book. He has been a dealer here in GB for 52 years. I am...
