Hello everyone! I recently purchased a Hoover Dial-a-Matic 1120 in very good condition from Ebay. Just wanting to share my thoughts and impressions with all of you and certainly welcome your 2 cents you're willing to share :) Background Info: I first came across a Dial-a-Matic in the early...

Thank you everyone for the fast responses! To the user suggesting alcohol and then Mother's Plastic Polish, see attached pic for the numerous scuffs. After using alcohol on the white spots, I'm assuming I should use Mother's on the whole body then? Thanks again!

Hi Everyone! Hello from COLD Michigan! I just wanted to share my joy of finding a Miele Salsa Upright vacuum from our local Habitat for Humanity ReStore (thrift store) for a whopping... $10.00! With a laugh I told the cashier "I'm not going to tell you what these retail for!". It works...

What I wouldn't give even for 30 minutes to walk back in time in Kmart, Meijer, etc. to see those great vacs on the shelves!

I have one!!! Hey there! I'll never forget how I came by mine. I had just finished 3rd grade and we sold our home. As part of the sales proceeds, I talked my dad into letting me get a new vacuum from our mom and pop store downtown (what a gift!!!). I was hoping to find a brown Eureka...

Thank you. Im confused though. You keep mentioning tilting handle back andcadjsust? Wouldn't you have to tilt forward so brush can start hitting carpet? Sorry but please re-advise.

Thank you!

Greetings from Michigan! Hope all is well with everyone! I recently received 3 great vintage vacs (Filter Queen LD31, Eureka 1746A Powerteam Canister, and a Eureka Cordaway upright) and would appreciate feedback on the following: 1. The FQ did not arrive with wands, hose, P/N, and the...

Thank you again! I Googled Filter Queen LD31 but nothing came up. Although I found plenty for D31x :)

Thanks everyone! Tom, where would the model and rating plate be hidden? As seen inside dome cap there is scare room, or was it very narrow on these models and fell off?

Hello everyone. I acquired this 1970s? Filter Queen and have a few questions if several are willing to assist :) 1. What model # is this? I removed dome cap and only see what appears to be a serial number plate. For the life of me I cannot find the Health Mor Mfg and rating plate. 2. This is...

Hi everyone. Hope someone can help out on this. During the boom of infomercials in the 19 90s I recall seeing a Bissell tv spot featuring a bagged upright of theirs. The nozzle, which was 16 inches, was green and the bag/motor housing was white. The motor unit would detach for portable...

Hello everyone! Well I had to do it... purchase the Regina Housekeeper 2500 off ebay. This was a childhood dream machine. Always asked Santa for one but to no avail. My dream kinda came true in 1988 when my friend's mom bought a blue Housekeeper Plus and I just had to schedule a visit to see it...

Thanks James! Always nice to meet another Michigander!!! What online store can such an adapter be purchased from?

Hi Chad! I'm in Lapeer. Email me please at [email protected]

Hello Everyone! Just got from Ebay a very nice looking salmon color with art deco bag Hoover Convertible Model 728. Cannot wait for it to arrive and try it out! It does take the Hoover Type-C bottom-fill bags, which I know were less than ideal at times for airflow and bag changing issues. Are...

Thanks Tom good to hear from you!!! Thank you. I have a few Simplicity bags around. They are awesome for filtration. Any ideas for pre-motor filter or will the Simplicity bag take care of most if not all issues? Also, will the Simplicity extra long hose hit fit the Dial a Matic, or do I need to...

Greetings from finally warm and gorgeous Michigan. I have purchased a very nice used Hoover Dial a Matic this week (the orange and beige) model and just have a few questions. 1. Are there any current cloth/HEPA type dust bags that would properly fit in this machine for increased air quality? I...

Thanks for the info! My "glides with ease" comment was a figure of speech. Compared to the old power nozzles I'm having issues with, the modern ones do not require me to break into a sweat involving an arm workout trying to push and pull them across the carpet. The height adjustment on the...
