My 1060 is an oddball. While it was Hoovers top of the line cleaner mine is odd in having only a half bumper instead of a full bumper.
Just another little oopsie that slipped out of the factory
NYCWriter,
There aren't too many vacuums sold today that I'd much care to use as I prefer using my 60s and 70s Hoovers.
The few modern vacuums I have tried and like have already been touched upon here, the only new vacuums I personally like in ease of use and quality are the Aerus upright and...
I dont think so.
My grandparents used to rent Rinse-N-Vac carpet shampooers from their appliance store, and continued to from home for nearly 20 more years after they closed.
From my recollection their oldest unit was from the mid 70s, they had an early 80s one and an early 90s model
Tristan, it sounds like you are in a mecca of thrift shopping. I have practically nothing around here.
You could easily turn that Conquest around for $50-$100
Very nice collection Tristan, all your vacs look to be in great shape. I cant believe you got them all at GoodWill and at such great low prices, around here all they have are Dirt Devils for like $30 a piece. You sure have done a great job cleaning up your vacuums.

Oh my, I remember those from the late 80s and early 90s. I always wanted one of those to go with our blue and white shop vac, but was always denied as my grandmother owned a pair of Rinse N Vacs at the time which we used for free
Well, my most favrite Hoover
is my grandmothers Convertible 1020 pictured below, it is the vacuum I fell in love with asa little tyke in about 1987.
Another favorite is my model 64 Citation which is pictured at left of the 1020
For me it would be:
Hoover 150 ensemble
Hoover Convertible 68 all original
Hoover Convertible 704-01
Any Penncrest/JCPenney badged Hoovers, especially the cord reel uprights
would do almost anything to have a NIB metal base Convertible
would love an early Convertible tool set with the ultraflex...
