Incandescent bulbs in general are a little more yellow than flourescent or LED. I upgraded various power nozzles of mine to LED a little while back. Here are some photos of old versus new LED.

Ben, I know that model, a collector brought one to the Missouri convention last year Canned hams are good machines. I've always wanted to try the Brandywine Canned Ham 1289 but have never come across one. EurekaPrince, yes I agree. I am surprised that Eureka never really had a furniture...

I tried to take apart a Quadraflex motor and ruined it. I don't recommend doing that. Supposedly some vac shops have had luck standing the motors on end and letting aome oil seep into the bearing.

Some of these came from FB vac group pages but here's a gathering. Unfortunately, I'm missing the Express canister. The Express was a great machine with VG3 RugMaster nozzle.

Bring back bagged vacs and power head canisters I realize that canisters were never the true forte of Hoover but they really had some great ones! We need them back! Just imagine the possibilities that could be made with a tweaks to old model designs: Rubber coated wheels Automatic and manual...

The name is what it is because of company sale... Electrolux AB of Sweden was corporate owner of many appliances and floor care companies over the years. Over time they have sold off various lines. Electrolux vacuums as we know it was one of the first to go. I'd have to do research but I...

The Platinum canister is extremely quiet and extremely powerful. I was always curious about them myself for a bit especially when I came across a friend who had a few in his shop but no hoses. I ordered a hose and I was able to try the machine when it finally arrived. Unfortunately, I have a...

Great find, looks like a nice machine. I had a similar one growing up but it only lasted 16 months in our home. It cleaned well but was loud and went through U belts quick.

Unfortunately Quadraflex brush strips got discontinued many years ago. I tried to get Convertible, Panasonic, VGII strips to fit the slot, something and no luck unfortunately.

Happy Anniversary Vacuum Cleaner! I'm an 80s child and my family primarily had Hoover but we had some other machines too over the years. My current selection is widely varied from a Dirt Devil Featherlite upright, many Hoovers but also two Simplicitys, two Aerus canisters and more. One of my...

Nice looking machine!

I agree with PanasonicVac. Either one is a good machine though!

A HEPA post motor filter is a great feature to have as it captures emissions from the motor. The carbon brushes from the motor put out a lot. It also captures anything that got around or missed the bag or if there was a hole in the bag. It's nice to have a final filter

You're welcome! I'll try to check back in here next week and check the status. Hopefully the power nozzle housing screw slots are in good shape. I don't know why someone would take those off and not reinstall, it wouldn't function.

Nice unit. That model was the last CaddyVac made. Original CaddyVac uprights sported the 7.3 amp motor and were rated withe Hoover Cleaning Effectiveness Per Amp Rating system of generally 18.0 - 19.5. This white one was the 12.0 amp unit when Hoover competed with Dirt Devil and Eureka who...

The Spectrum Replaced the Dimension 1000 To answer the question of the Hoover Dimension 1000 replacement, that would be the Spectrum. I believe there was a short time frame that the Dimension 1000 and Spectrum canister coexisted but I'm not sure for how long. The Dimension 1000/ Supremacy...

Congratulations! Hello and sorry for not seeing this sooner. I received your email and also message here in Vacuumland. Your machine was manufactured December 2001. The first 4 digits of that serial are MMYY of manufacture. The 3 screws in triangle pattern missing on yours would be for...

What a Great Time! Thanks so much for organizing and hosting yet another convention Tom. I had a great time. I wanna say this was my fifth convention of yours that I've been able to attend. It was only proper that I make it to this one since the theme was Power Nozzle Canister Vacuums. So...

You can't beat a Central Vac! When installed properly, and I'll emphasize that properly is the key, they are the best. Central vacs take all the dust in your home and suck it to a central location then emitting HEPA filtered air away from your primary living environment or vented outside...

Did you find one yet? Usually you can search eBay for Hoover Quadraflex Powermatic and find one. Any Hoover power nozzle with pig tail cord and raised button wand lock will fit that machine. Granted it can depend what model Hoover Dimension you have. Does your machine have a gas pump...
