Bought a DD for ONE reason

[gottahaveahoove]

Thusday, as I made my usual weekly haunts  in Philly, I saw a red "Can" DD.  It was intact,  BUT, attached to the end of the cheapy black hose was a HOOVER Portapower hose with tools!.  It was worth it indeed.   ( and you want a good hose) So,  SOON, I'll be posting  all of my non-HOOVER items,  including a Sunbeam mixer, Presto coffeemaker,  Dormeyer mixer, DD toy,  LOTS of bags (huge package of Oreck bags), and various tools.  I'll also list the 3 Kirby(s). Lots to clear out.  This DD "can" fits in the contemporary forum,  the POrtapower hose doesn't.

John, did you know

Presto used to make Hoover's percolators?  Had them.  Cover up the names set them side by side, and couldn't tell them apart.

My mouth is AGAPE

..and not for the good reason...

It's true.

Here is the Hoover Percolator on eBay now.

And here is the Presto

I'm not sure, but I think that the Hoover electric frying pan was made by Sunbeam. They look a lot alike too. Great appliances regardless of whether they have the Hoover name or Presto/Sunbeam name on them. A lot better than what you can get today. Oops, sorry. I didn't mean to take this off topic. Now, back to our regularly scheduled program, already in progress! [this post was last edited: 5/9/2011-23:50]

Yay to that!

I agree with you whole heartedly. God bless Hoover/Presto/Sunbeam. I know I've been giving you grief lately about Hoover, but in reality, I like Hoover products too. There, I'm out of the closet!

Do you feel better now?

I'm glad we got THAT cleared up! Give me all the grief you want.  I can take it,  lololo

 

[jfalberti]

Yeah actually I do

I hate dark cramped spaces! LOL. Can't wait for convention. I have a feeling it's gonna be awesome! You are a good man Mr. Long. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers as well.
