Fred, In the picture of the room of uprights, is there any chance that you'd be selling the Hoover 1070? Sam

I too hate modern consumer goods Hans. my current daily driver vacs are a late 60s Hoover swingette and an early 80s Hoover Concept. I have no issue rotating my 1956 Citation and early Convertibles into use as well. In my kitchen I have a Corning electromatic percolator, a 1966 Osterizer...

I have a package of 3 bags for this machine that I have no use for

Like others here I would suggest an AerusLux. Another suggestion would be the Tristar, they seem very reliable, but not certain about tool storage or if it has an electric mini brush

A lot of our local. Businesses use regular non commercial vacuums, the funeral home has a Kirby Legend II, our church had a concept for 28 years was replaced with a commercial oreck for a year the. I replaced with another concept, the resturant I used to work at used a Hoover convertible 65 for...

To me the Hoover Concept is the best carpet cleaner ever, and it truly excells with deep pile carpet. They are very long lasting and durable. I have several and know a good many of people who still have them in service. Even our church had a Concept being used as a light commercial vacuum for 28...

Actually that blue Hoover Tristan likes is actually badged on the machine Hoover Deluxe Convertible. That would have been the first one introduced in that hood style prior to Hoover changing its name to Decade 80

Matt, Such a great question you ask. My fascination with vacuums like several of my passions stemmed from my childhood. I recall even as a baby my mother used to set me on the livingroom floor as she would vacuum, and I would always watch most intently as she vacuumed, there must have been...

NYCwriter, I'm located in Washington county about 30 minutes from the airport, and also about 30 minutes from the South Hills of Pittsburgh where there are some great higher end neighborhoods is Upper St. Clair, Mount Lebanon, and Bethel Park. I'm also about 40-45 minutes from downtown...

no John, this one came from Jeff P.

My 1060 is an oddball. While it was Hoovers top of the line cleaner mine is odd in having only a half bumper instead of a full bumper. Just another little oopsie that slipped out of the factory

Have you given any thought to a Hoover Concept to try?

NYCWriter, There aren't too many vacuums sold today that I'd much care to use as I prefer using my 60s and 70s Hoovers. The few modern vacuums I have tried and like have already been touched upon here, the only new vacuums I personally like in ease of use and quality are the Aerus upright and...

Welcome Back, so nice to see you again

I dont think so. My grandparents used to rent Rinse-N-Vac carpet shampooers from their appliance store, and continued to from home for nearly 20 more years after they closed. From my recollection their oldest unit was from the mid 70s, they had an early 80s one and an early 90s model

Here is a pice of my Penncrest(JCPenney) by Eureka. I think its suce a cute machine

Tristan, if you would be interested in keeping this around, you can always get a new bag assembly that accomodates the top fill A bag

Tristan, Dont worry about the Y'all thing, we all do stuff like that for me it is Younz, which is the Pittsburgh equivalent of Y'all

Tristan, it sounds like you are in a mecca of thrift shopping. I have practically nothing around here. You could easily turn that Conquest around for $50-$100

Very nice collection Tristan, all your vacs look to be in great shape. I cant believe you got them all at GoodWill and at such great low prices, around here all they have are Dirt Devils for like $30 a piece. You sure have done a great job cleaning up your vacuums. Sam
