Brushrolls I love the dual agitator concept if only it would have been perfected! Does anyone know where the Saavy falls in the lineup? Was it a version of the Wind Tunnel, or was it it's own model? I remember it as having the dual agitators, but don't recall much more about it.

I know that there's another post about the Windtunnel V2 going currently. But I wanted to show my latest acquisition which is an older model than the one currently under discussion. Found this at a local vac shop that was going out of business. It was waiting to go in the dumpster & I rescued...

Hey guys, here's one of my latest finds. It's not something I was really looking for, but came across in a local thrift store. I was intrigued & home with me it went. It cleaned up well & has quite a bit of suction for such a lil guy. The turbo nozzle goes 90 to nothin! The nozzle a bit rattley...

Hoover Windtunnel Air would be my choice. I love mine & I just checked the Hoover website & they now have several variations of it. Mine is a reconditioned model & I can't tell that is not brand spankin new. Below is a link to the reconditioned page. They also have a new one w/ pet attachments...

There were 4 or 6 windtunnels, some of them bagged in the dumpster at one of our local vac shops just this week. Must have been the week for shops to trash their trade in's. LOL

Nice!! That's a beaut Ray! It looks just like the one my grandma had. I did not realize that they were made in a 3-speed model also.

Thanks for sharing your pic Doug, I love this version of the quik broom & enjoy seeing all the various color combinations over the model years!

Color Names Ray, thanks for the clarification on the color names. After my original post, Jason sent me scans of original Hoover advertisements. I noticed on those that the color names were "camel" & "oyster white". Do you have a pic of yours to post? I don't think I have seen the honey beige...

Tyler thanks for the Hesco link. I really like the schematic view of all the machines. Jason, I didn't even think about this as being a part of the pickles lineup. I had the pickles convertible at one point in the past. I shoulda kept it! I still have to get my mind wrapped around thinking of...

Hey guys check out the find Ryan & I scored today. Shes's in rally good condition & is very clean inside the bag chamber & out.I have wanted a Hoover Quik Broom for some time. My grandmother used to have a version of this back in the 80's. The floor nozzle on these has always appealed to me...

We DID have a blast! I second the fact we did have a blast during our mini-meet last weekend! Jason is a great host & cook. It was a treat to spend the day with a fellow collector & great guy. Jason has a wonderful collection. I had a hayday browsing Jay's vast collection & most importantly...

I have one Have been using it now for 3 months. I really like the way it grooms the carpet , how light it is & how quiet the motor is. Below is a link to the thread I made about mine a few weeks back :) http://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?16048

Well... I think the small head is a nice choice. It's been quite a long time since I have used a Heritage w/ the smaller nozzle, but as I recall they are easier to push & navigate around furniture than the standard head.

Bag Chamber "Vents" Bobby I have the similar design non-direct drive upright in Sunflower yellow. The bag chamber vents are Kenmore's Power-Flow dual chamber design. It's supposed to keep airflow around the bag to maintian suction as the bag fills. Oh & BTW that's a great find & thanx for...

Wrong Forum??.... I think I posted this in the wrong forum. Should it go in the contemporary forum??

Model Number Tag Here's a shot of the model number tag on the bottom.

Hey guys, I just found a Singer Simon while out thrifting today!Seems to be in good shape & fairly clean, although a spa treatment it shall have. I have always thought these looked like clever lil vacs. I seem to remember as a kid that they were available in various colors. I also remember a...

Durability & Other Issues I have been using mine now for 2 months.Haven't had any issues with the durability of the plastics so far. I don't like the dusting/crevice tool combo, however I have other vacs in my fleet better suited for that. For $50 I feel like it's a great vac & in comparison...

I agree David, I am also very happy with how lightweight it is & quiet! It's so easy to grab and go thru the house. My other vacs have been sitting idle since I received this one.

So, I know some of you were going to buy the remanufactured Hoover Windtunnel Air that was on sale right before Christmas on the Hoover website. Well, I got one & I really like it. When Wal-Mart carried them, I always wanted one, but I wouldn't bring myself to spend the full asking price...
