Interesting thread ! I'm a 1956 as well but I'm like Edgar I just enjoy things that I remember growing up. Nice quality colorful shiny sturdy items

Score!

Thank you John

Totally agree Edgar, it is a sweet spot in their production at least in my thinking and for my situation.

Les, I have not noticed any that have that logo, but I don't honestly get out often.

This is a favorite model for me, it's my third one and probably the best mechanical condition of all of them. Sounds amazing.

I had an early one years ago I purchased at Sam's club I would say it was just okay, but there was a port at the bottom where you could empty it with a canister or shop vac that was kind of handy.

My thoughts exactly! And my pad with remnants of wax was sitting right there so I gave it a shot. 😁

My mother purchased an early model from Montgomery Ward and I believe it was $99, it was not shall we say my favorite.

Not perfect, but it looks better for it's age than me! 😜

Well sadly, I seem to have my mother's fingers where they curl all the time and you think they're straight! Fresh cup of coffee cream and sugar all over the kitchen and dining floor, crap! The hardwood floors are no longer sealed after 65 years so I normally paste wax there once or twice a year...

I think of those three the decade 80 is the softest brush it certainly has airflow

I have a friend whose grandmother has pets and carpet and she's always trying to clean her carpet with the neighbors Bissell then I have to come out and clean it because it's still wet days later. My Hoover spin scrub gets it out just fine.

Cool info to learn!

Sorry to hear of your mother's troubles John believe me I completely understand!

I have the larger Bissell pro pet, before that I had the Hoover version of the little green which I swear was made by the same company. All of the units have had issues with the o-rings sticking and not working on the trigger of the nozzle be sure and rinse everything out with water before you...

Just curious John,or anyone else please weigh in here?? For cleaning but also gentle on my carpet it seems to come down too My Kirby heritage 2, my Hoover concept one or the decade 80. They all seem to clean about the same I'm just wondering if possibly one is softer on the fibers thanks guys in...

Yes, thick padding I have!

Hours was still working until about 8 years ago when mother broke the lid. I suggested possibly a lid from some of her stainless cookware would fit it did but it also motivated me to get her a new one that would be easier to clean probably still working somewhere
