    Hoover Model 28 Special - July 1953

    Hello All, Huskyvacs is 100 percent correct. My dad was IBEW Local 40 and if he caught either my brother or myself pulling the plug out of the wall receptacle by the cord, we would get it good. My grandmother on the other hand, had arthritis really bad in her hands and she would have to pull on...

    Hoover Model 28 Special - July 1953

    Hello All I did bid on and won the poor little, not so little, Hoover Model 28 “Special” that was on eBay a few weeks back. I have no idea what draws me or anyone to a Hoover 28.

    Tanks vs canisters

    Thank you Hello All of the above persons, I often wanted to bring this subject up. But as a relatively new member and the fact that I am not a big collector, I decided it would not be correct or a good idea. Dysonman1 who has been involved with vacuums for a long time as well as Kenkart have it...

    Majestically beautiful

    Could be interested in it Hello dialamaticman, I most likely would be interested in it even though could not find your picture of it. It would also depend on the cost of the vacuum and shipping charges. Thank you, Pete

    When did the first Dirt Devil arrive on the on the scene?

    Hello All, May sound odd but I seem to remember buying a red upright Dirt Devil and a red hand held Dirt Devil in the mid or late 70's.

    Electrolux XXX question

    Sorry that is not the original hose Hello, That is not an original hose to the Electrolux XXX but those are the original hose ends.
