Thought some folks here might find this interesting. Hoover has released an hour long video of the Convertible vacuuming as "white noise" for sleeping or relaxation purposes. Video features a very 1970s living room with one of the early 70s Convertibles vacuuming. Neat of them to do this.

Thought I would share this clip, put out by Sears in 1955, called "Pitch, Plant, Profit". It features two salesmen trying to sell vacuums to potential prospects. Interesting blast from the past.

This is probably a topic that has been beaten to death, but I can't find direct comparisons between the two, or at least anything conclusive. What's the consensus on the old fashioned Rug Doctor vs. the Bissell Big Green (the one that you can rent in stores)? I own the Rug Doctor right now (in...

Alright, I have a question. I left for the day to go to a small dinner. I get home to find that my girlfriend has used my 3 month old Sebo Dart to vacuum up baking soda. I am not happy. I know it's not good for vacuums. I took the hose off, rinsed it out and it is drying as we speak. I changed...

Hi all. Not long ago I bought a brand new Sebo Dart. I was wondering if it was recommended to take the vacuum in every year for a service, or if I could do the servicing myself. What would a yearly service entail for a Sebo anyway? Thanks!

About a year and a half ago I needed a cheaper vacuum to clean the apartment with. I bought a Hoover React lift away, and all was well for 9 months until the Floor Sense feature went out and took the floor nozzle with it. That was warrantied by Hoover with a brand new in the box React. Which...

So on a hunch, I decided to stop by my local Habitat ReStore. While there, I spotted this Convertible U4001 for $5. Of course, it followed me home.

I was scrolling through eBay and saw this listing. Thought I would pass it along. https://www.ebay.com/itm/vintage-Hoover-Convertible-upright-vacuum-cleaner-w-tools-in-original-boxes-NOS/233700255318?hash=item36699ee656:g:YvgAAOSwUS5fT7uz

I was watching Performance Reviews the other day, and he was playing around with the rebranded TTI lightweight upright. He made mention that there was stuff going on with Aerus lately, like they were on shaky ground, but I can't seem to find anything. So is there things going on with Aerus?

Hi all, I am looking for one of the Bicentennial Hoover Convertibles if anyone has one they are willing to part with. Thanks in advance Alex

Hi all, I just bought a Hoover Constellation Model 85, and I love the thing. The only thing not original is the hose. Has it's original floor nozzle too. But it has this odd quirk, and I am trying to figure what is causing it. When I first turn it on, and run it for a few seconds, it starts...

Hi everyone, Long story short, I am shopping for a new steam cleaner for my mother. Her two year old Bissell died, and with the budget she has, she is looking at a Hoover unit. Now, I was telling her to get a new SpinScrub (now PowerScrub) unit. I thought those were pretty decent for what they...

Hi all, hope you can help. I just got this Convertible, model U4109, and the bulb is blown. What kind of bulb is this? All the stores around me have the bulb, but it's a bayonet base. Thanks in advance. Alex

Hi all, A couple months ago, I picked up a Concept One from a local vac shop. It's what I believe a model U3311. It has a rust brown colored hood, with the cord rewind and Power Drive. Does anyone know anything about these models, like about how old it is, or whether it's a common or uncommon...

Does anyone have one of these power heads for a Hoover Celebrity IV that they would be willing to part with? I just bought my Celebrity off of eBay, and the machine itself is in pretty decent shape, and runs great. My power head on the other hand, works, but not that well. Plus it was cracked by...

Hi everyone, hoping to have a little help here. My mother's Shark is starting to get worn out.It's an earlier Rotator model. It's creaking like crazy, and I just discovered that the hose has 4 or 5 good sized holes in it. So I am looking to buy her something decent (I have always hated that...

Hello all, this is my first post, and I have a vac to show with it! (Long time lurker though). I was perusing through Craigslist, when I saw this vac sitting there for sale. It was being offered by a local vac shop, and it had been taken apart, and gone through. It's a dust cup Decade 80 (I...
