Concept One Just to clarify a couple things Yes, the Concept was an American series, but they were offered for a brief time in the UK with 240v as a stopgap before the Turbomasters came out. They are not very common there though, and I believe they only sold one version there, and only for a...

Mine does. In each of the barbers booths, they have one of those handheld Shop Vacs, and they will use it to suck any loose hairs off of the person who just got their hair cut. For the floor, I think they will still use a broom though.

Yes I have actually, and I even used one. My parents bought one brand new in I think 2005? Dyson DC07 Animal. They were pretty popular here in the States.

Hi all, A couple months ago, I picked up a Concept One from a local vac shop. It's what I believe a model U3311. It has a rust brown colored hood, with the cord rewind and Power Drive. Does anyone know anything about these models, like about how old it is, or whether it's a common or uncommon...

If any Elite collectors are interested, this Elite 700 is sitting on eBay right now https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Hoover-Elite-700-Upright-Vacuum-w-stair-cleaning-handle-Parts-or-Repair/183522178284?hash=item2abac634ec:g:u0UAAOSwq2xb3c5W:rk:36:pf:0

No problem Thanks for the update

Constellation Is the Constellation still available?

eBay My advice is this: Take lots of pictures and describe the machine to the best of your ability. Package the vacuum with bubble wrap, and also I would use packing peanuts.

That's what I'm thinking too. Have people come in to look at furniture, and also casually mention the new Hoovers they have in stock. It's not a bad setup for the time really.

I found this while I was at an antique store earlier. Thought it was kinda neat to share.

Does anyone have one of these power heads for a Hoover Celebrity IV that they would be willing to part with? I just bought my Celebrity off of eBay, and the machine itself is in pretty decent shape, and runs great. My power head on the other hand, works, but not that well. Plus it was cracked by...

Funny You Should Mention The Kenmore... When I was at Sears last, they had one of those Elite Crossovers sitting there as a former floor model that they were trying to sell. I think for something like ~$125. I'm going back there later today, I'll have to take a closer look at it.

This vacuum is what would have been known in England as the Hoover Junior. Definitely an uncommon machine, I have never seen one in person.

Oreck She actually had an Oreck XL many years ago, and to be honest, I still don't quite understand why she got rid of it. A canister is probably not a terrible option either.

Thanks Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I was very hesitant to suggest a bagless, because like many of you, I prefer a bagged system. I know the vast majority of the bagless models are usually cheap and flimsy, much like the Shark she has is. The Shark brand new wasn't exactly cheap either...

Hi everyone, hoping to have a little help here. My mother's Shark is starting to get worn out.It's an earlier Rotator model. It's creaking like crazy, and I just discovered that the hose has 4 or 5 good sized holes in it. So I am looking to buy her something decent (I have always hated that...

Sears The Sears I was in earlier had power strips mounted to the wall, in full view of the customer. Wide display of canisters and uprights. They also had floor models of some Kenmore's that were ready to be demonstrated.

Hello all, this is my first post, and I have a vac to show with it! (Long time lurker though). I was perusing through Craigslist, when I saw this vac sitting there for sale. It was being offered by a local vac shop, and it had been taken apart, and gone through. It's a dust cup Decade 80 (I...

Gorgeous What a beautiful machine. Saw it on the supermarket section too. Stunning. Congratulations.
