    Montgomery Wards Portapower Hoover w/ Tools

    I found this at an estate sale this weekend and picked it up for a pretty decent price. I really only got because I know the Monty-Wards are getting rare and some people really like them. I am accepting reasonable offers or trades😉

My Hoover 66, a Hoover Elite Soft&Light, One of the first generations of the Eureka Boss uprights, and a Kennmore Twin-Fan.

    My new Oreck XL100C

    I picked this up on eBay a few days ago and I love it so far. I wanted to find one of the older style Orecks like the Classic which I remember seeing in commercials as a kid. I was amazed when I first unpacked it because of how good it looked, not a spec of dust anywhere and no scuffs either...

    My Red Hoover Concept I Model U3317 from EBay!!!!

    I have been anxiously waiting for this one to get here! This is the same exact model that my grandparents had when I was a kid, a TOL Hoover Concept I Model U3327, and I had been avidly looking for one ever since it disappeared years ago, then one of my best friends, Jonathan Radesky found an...

    Hoover Concept I in Mint Green

    I found this Concept at a thrift shop a few days ago and picked it up. It was very dirty and completely clogged up with cat hair. Now that I've cleaned it up it runs like new though. It seems to be in relatively good condition too except for the battle scars on the hood. I don't have much...

    Hoover Legacy & Hoover Quik-Broom II Habitat Restore Finds

    I found this Legacy, probably from the '80a, which is in awesome shape from what I can tell so far. I've never owned an Elite-style Hoover this old before and was intrigued. The Quik-Broom II is also in pretty decent shape and works well too. The Quik-Broom is going to one of my best friends...

    Hoover Elite & Metro Data-Vac Habitat Finds Today

    I found both of these awesome new toys when I decided to take a ride to some thrift shops 30 minutes before closing lol. I found both of these and they were an excellent way to spend my day off! The Data-Vac looks like it was never even used! The Elite however, was VERY dusty but otherwise in...

    Hoover TaskVac Cordless

    I got one of the Hoover TaskVac Cordless Commercial stick vacs and I have to say, I'm pretty impressed. This is the first new vacuum I've bought in 5 or 6 years and the only thing with a dirt cup I own other than a Hoover Quik-Broom from the '80s. I really like the TaskVac because it has a brush...

    Commercial Eureka Model C2094

    I picked this up at the Habitat Restore yesterday. It looks like it's in almost like-new condition! (except for the graffiti lol). I plan to take this to the hotel where I work as we could use a few new vacs and from what I can tell, these are designed for hotels. It wouldn't have been my first...

    My New Hoover Commercial Upright

    This just came in the mail today! I've been looking for this Hoover for a long time too. Its in amazing shape! Both cosmetically and mechanically from what I can tell so far. I don't think that this machine saw very heavy use.

    Our Mini-Meet

    Yesterday I met up with fellow VacuumLanders and good friends Ken Hedrick & Toby Glenn. It wasn't a very long one this time as we all had places to go but it was fun nonetheless. As usual, Toby sent Ken and I both home with a few great finds (Thanks again Toby!) and we chatted for a little...

    Kirby Dual Sanitronic 80 Thrift Shop Find

    I found this today going around to a few thrift shops, it's a little dirty but it runs very nicely! Unfortunately the original bag is gone but those are to hard to find. The brushroll is a pretty worn too. I might be offering this one up for sale or trade, i like to think I "rescued" it lol. It...

    Plastic-Based Hoover "Commercial" Convertible

    This is a Convertible that Ive had for a while that came from my good friend Ken Hedrick, it was in perfect shape except for the bag, it was some kind of mesh cloth home-sewn thing with a wood dowel at the top and a lot of holes. So I put a NOS orange Hoover Commerial Convertible dump-out bag (a...

    New All-Teal Hoover Concept One Powerdrive

    I picked this up at Habitat (the same one the 704 came from) for $5 because the cord hook is broken, other than that and the fact that it needs a new brushroll, it's in pretty great shape! I saw this one when I got the 704 but decided against it because it was overpriced at the time and I liked...

    Hoover Commercial Model U7037

    Here's another cleaner I'm making some progress on (again, with the very generous help of Jonathon Radesky). It now has a NOS Hoover bag, new brush strips, & the attachement converter! (Very rare). Now all that's left to get is a Hoover bag clamp and some attachments!

    Hoover Model 704 Habitat Find

    I found this little gem yesterday just having a look around and it was stuffed all the way in the back of a pile of plasti-vacs. It was just a little dusty and looks like it's never been used. I gave it a total spa treatment when I got it home and after several Vinylx wipe downs and a new bag &...

    My latest eBay purchase is finally here!!!

    My Hoover Model 29 finally got here and I've done a little cleaning on it. It has the original bag but it has one or two pinholes at the bottom and I have an iron-on patch to fix that with. It sounds like its brand new. The handle has a slight lean to it and I know that that's a common problem...

    In the market for a new Hoover shampooer

    I've always had pretty good luck with different Hoover shampooers and was wondering which one you all thought was the best one available now. I've looked through most of them and they all look pretty decent, but I'm curious to know, in your opinions, which is BEST. Thoughts?
