The model for this particular machine was S3603-040.

PowerMax models had several model numbers: S3601, S3603, S3607, S3613, S3614.... The lasts ones made were the PowerMax Deluxe S3606 in a different shade of navy blue with a translucent bag lid, and the Turbo Power 5000 S3612-- different style design to the previous Turbo Power 5000 which was S3577.

BEBO1987-- I couldn't disagree with you more!! Sounds like you found a poor seller on eBay that hopefully you gave a poor feedback response to. I have been a shopper on eBay for over 14 years. I know this because in 2002 when I lived in my fraternity house I bought a refurbished Hoover PowerMax Deluxe canister S3607 from ABCVacuumwarehouse on eBay. I also bought a lawn mower and a commercial duty mop bucket that same year.

In my over 14 years of making SEVERAL purchases on eBay to include numerous vacuum cleaners, posters, lawn mower, vacuum bags, hedge trimmer etc. I have only had 1 bad experience. It was a Riccar 1800 canister. It was packaged good for the most part but wasn't in the same condition as was advertised. Paypal backed me up and I got a full refund!!

hair spray, floods.

I think Lysol spray also removes marker and ink. At least off of skin it does.
As most insurance agents will tell you, when going away for extended days, close the water shut off's to the washer, dishwasher, and even refrigerator.
Now they make a flood safe braided stainless hose for dishwashers. If a leak occurs, a valve at the start of the hose closes under sudden pressure.
