HOOVERS I gave my Decade to my daughter for her first place last year. I get to use it once in awhile when I go there. She thinks it is old fashioned. I work retail part time and told her it beats any vac I have to offer my customers.

GE Anyone remember the GE College Bowl? I watched it just for the ads.

I was on Ebay, and low and behold the first vac I ever saw is for sale. It is a 47 GE upright number AVF17S. My parents bought one of those in 1948. I was born many years later, but they had that vac into the 70's. I have not seen one since they got rid of it in the 70's when it was traded in...

Filter queen What is the difference between a Filter Queen and a Princess? Chan55

Lewyt Very interesting stuff i have always had the feeling that Proctor Silex products were not made very well. Maybe in the old days they were, but not later versions. I remember my parents having a PS toaster back in the 70's and from day one every time it popped up, it got stuck, and would...

Shetland When did Shetland and Lewyt combine? When did they die? Did they ever make uprights other then the broom vacs?

Sprint I had one of the Sprint uprights too. Isn't it odd how Hoover started to use the names over and over? Very confusing for people buying bags. It seems the name Convertible appeared on other vacs after the real Convertibles were gone, if I remember correctly.

GE I am interested. Would you able to post some pix? Thank you, chan

Hoover If the first Connies did not float, how did you use it? Did it have wheels?

Hi, There are 2 GE tool sets for sale on Ebay.I am thinking about buying them, but I don't have a vac to go with them. Does anyone out there have a GE Upright from the 60's/70's Models U5, U6, OR U7 they are interested in selling me? I would like to have it running and in decent shape? Thank...

DAM I had the blue version. It was my first vac. I bought it used, should have bought new. It kept breaking down, wish I would have gotten it fixed. My all time favorite vac, and I have tried them all. So quiet, easy to use, loved the tool set up.

Hoover small applainces Did Hoover make their line of small appliances, or were they made by someone else? Their hand mixer looks very similar to an Oster I had once.Did they ever make a stand mixer?

porta power I have the orange commercial model. I hate the hose that came with it. TOO short. So I use an old DAM hose fits perfect.. I had the original swingette and I think it had better suction and better tools

ABC Thanks for the info everyone. My only concern is I have not owned. a fan first upright for a long time. Should I be worried about breaking the fan if I pick up something I should not have?

Convertible Great vac I grew up with that one too. Very sturdy, great attachments. too bad they could not have made the suction for the hose stronger. We had a GE swivel top for above floor cleaning.

Hoover Elite Looks really nice, but I think I want something light weight, and that one weighs twice as much as the Elite.

Has anyone ever ordered a vac from ABC vacuum Warehouse? they have the Hoover Commercial Elite for 119.99 with free shipping. Hoover ,com wants $200.00.

Hoover Elite Other then a longer heavier cord, is there any other differences in a commercial one as compared to the household ones?

Has anyone used a Hoover Commercial Elite model C1404? After getting mixed reviews regarding the lightweight Platinum Windtunnel, I went to the web sight and was checking out the commercial line. I use an old Spirit/Elite at a house I clean and I love it's liteweight It does not have onboard...

Kenmore I was going to buy one, but I read so many awful reviews of them, I didn't. I like that switchover power head/floor tool.I was at Sears last night, and they are still really pricey.
