    Hoover Concept One Power Drive

    My “New” Sanitare

    Never owned a Sanitare before, but have always wanted one. I picked this machine up this afternoon. It is model SC684. The bag is off and being cleaned at the moment.

    Are these Scott and Fetzer Sanitation System Attachments?

    So, after selling my S&F Sanitation System on eBay, I discovered a box of attachments in a closet. I do believe that some of these belong to the machine.
