I was so frustrated to find out that it had been lost. It really surprised me that USPS could lose such a large item, but hearing both of your stories, it sounds like these things happen more frequently than I thought. Thank you Jack for being on the lookout for another one. Jimmy, I...

Just wanted to let you all know that the seller supposedly delivered the vacuum to USPS and they lost it. Not sure how USPS could lose a vacuum, but they did. Thankfully, the seller gave me a full refund. So now it is back to looking for a U4017 again. If anyone finds one for sale, please let me...

Agreed that anything NIB is cool. It always amazes me that people buy a brand new item like a vacuum and then never take it out of the box. Hopefully someone who collects these will buy it.

KirbyLux77 thank you for answering my questions. I always appreciate a different perspective then my own so I find it interesting that you view Electrolux as a higher quality machine based on it manufacturing its own parts. I have never thought of quality in that way. Up until a few years ago...

Thanks! I really appreciate you answering my questions. I will take a look at eBay for the replacement power nozzle cord. This is probably a dumb question, but what is the difference between Compact and Tristar?

If anyone is looking for one, I found this on FB Marketplace today: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/780782377496974/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post. The box is in horrible shape, but the unit appears to be brand new.[this post was last edited: 3/17/2025-13:34]

I recently bought a Tristar CXL for $25 off of FB Marketplace and it was in better condition than I thought when I saw it in person. Unfortunately, it was missing the original crevice and upholstery tools. It needed some cleaning as well as deodorizing to get rid of a musty smell from its...

Thank you! Jack, I really appreciate you finding this 4017. Thank you again!

Thanks! Tim, Thanks for letting me know about the 1076 on Mercari. I would be tempted to purchase it (even at that price) if it was a 4017. :)

Thanks, Brian. I appreciate you keeping an eye out for this particular model. I am in Gibsonville, which is about an hour away from Raleigh, so not too far from you. Karl, I am so impressed that you were able to find the vintage advertisements for this model. Wow! Also, thanks for the great...

Barry, to answer your question, the color of the hood and handle was more like a taupe gray. I found a post on this site from a while back that leads me to believe it is a U4017. The 4017 is the same color scheme with the same bag. It seems to be a pretty rare Convertible for some reason. Tim...

Hi all, I am a new member to this form, and I am looking for a model U4017 Hoover Convertible. My mother owned the exact same model and it was the first vacuum that I ever used. I have so many fond memories of using this vacuum and fortunately my parents took a photo of me (at 4 years old)...
