Some items may not have originally come with a Celebrity, such as this fancy electronic power nozzle.

Also lots of wands (aluminum and chromed steel), Hoover attachments, some hoses, like I said, non-matching stuff.

From left to right, Model S3097 Celebrity II w/ matching power nozzle; Model S3193 Celebrity QS 2.6 HP, matching components incl hose, pretty nice machine; Model S3191 Celebrity QS 1.7 w/matching hose and power nozzle, also pretty nice machine.

From left to right, Model S3151 Celebrity IV DeLuxe, four casters, no tool rack, with matching power nozzle; Model S3061 Celebrity II Elite, large rear wheels, multi speed.

Next batch. From left to right, Model S3131 low profile design; S3183 Celebrity QS 1.7 HP, suction only, very low mileage machine; Model S3059-030 Celebrity II w/ matching power nozzle. Lower left, Model S3187 Celebrity QS 3.7, no tool rack.

To recover storage space, I've got to clean out and let go of a bunch of stuff. All of these Hoover Celebrity machines have got to go. What I'd like is for someone to come by and haul them all away at once. Living in western Washington state as I do, I doubt that's going to happen. So if you...

This is an incomplete Hoover Model 425. The model number is cast in the bottom. It is missing the brushroll. From the looks of the capstan on the motor armature, it seems that this machine originally took a flat belt. The tab on the power switch is broken, but the switch works. The motor...

Label assigning "Customer's Exclusive" serial number. I've no idea what that was about.

Earlier model power switch. This machine does have a power take-off switch for a power floor nozzle down near the front wheels strut.

Rebuild tag on machine's left rear side.

Other side.

Here are a few pics of my sad, old Model L. It's a factory reconditioned machine. It appears that the original paint was turquoise but was resprayed grey in the reconditioning process. A power switch from an earlier model was used. It has a tag affixed proclaiming it to be a factory...

Did the value of Ford products increase following the death of Henry Ford? Some have increased in value in the decades since, but having nothing to do with the death of the company founder. Just an example.

Without having seen one of these machines, I'm highly skeptical of the "dust falls to the bottom" theory. I've seen the failure of this idea in other products. The Hoover WT2 bagless, several versions of the Hoover cyclonic filtration system, Bissell Healthy Home, etc. Dust doesn't always...

The lower-end Eureka Altima models are simpler and not as prone to breakage. I wash/bleach and reuse a lot of so-called HEPA filters. In my experience, Eureka filters are the most fragile. So even an Altima frequently needs a new $7 filter. I don't often have a Eureka vacuum in my line-up of...

Somebody gave me one of these, a Model 4870, a few months ago. It looked solid enough at the time, so later I took a closer look at it and was less than impressed. The bags are small; the bag fit is kinda crook. It wouldn't take much to dislodge the bag and fill the dust compartment with...

That one screams Bissell, even with a blurry picture. Read, Read, Read. I think that one might be the Clean View, if I'm not mistaken. They're not bad little machines for their price point. There are worse.
