Belt I know there was some discussion on another thread of this question. However so far I have not had the belt come off. I do believe if it is twistred the correct way when installed, it should stay put just fine. There is a diagram next to the belt showing which way it should twist & this...

Ian, I like the look too! Cody,I wanted one when they were new back in the day. I had the hand vac, but this was a little out of my price range at the time. The peformance is not bad. I like the lil guy! Ran it around here & it does a good job for it's size. I was surprised to find when I took...

Latest thrift store score. In great shape, cleaned up nicely. Wishing I would have bought the attachments I saw for this model at our local Goodwill a couple months back.

Well said Gareth Gareth you hit the nail on the head! I have often thought that same thing. Some of us have put up with too much s@#t over the years because of our passion for vacuums. We don't need it here. "Considering that most of us faced some form of persecution because of our fondness of...

Intensity I was just looking at a couple of those for sale on Ebay. I've always thought it's a curios design. I wondered how well it cleans. Eventually may have to try & score one of those too!

Heya Canadian Brian! Thanx for the additional info pics & video link. So, I am guessing that mine must have had a clip on the wand that has since went missing along w/ the dusting brush. Maybe someday I will run across one. I do think its quiet. I was pleasantly surprised the first time I...

Gary, thanks for the reply with all the info regarding model history & the brushroll setup. I really enjoyed learning. I did notice that some of the bristles on my brushrolls are touching. It didn't seem as though they should mash against each other anywhere along the rolls. I wonder if maybe...

Consumer Reports Brian, thanks for the info about the Cosumer Reports article on it. I am not surprised that they ranked it top stick vac. It does a decent job.It does have the crevice tool with it, its stowed on the back of the handle, not visible in the pic. I wasn't aware that there was also...

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
