Hoover PowerMax Deluxe S3607

Well this one is a very sad story for me!! I bought off eBay in October 2003 this machine as a factory refurb from abcvacuumwarehouse. I bought this for my living away at college after just moving into fraternity house. The unit survived college and was successful at being an A+++ cleaner for many clients homest that I cleaned. Then I moved home with my parents and this machine was put into spare bedroom with many more of my items from living away. Then I moved into my parents vacation house in South Carolina. My parents supplied another vacuum for that house and cars were full and the PowerMax did not move with me but I was hoping to eventually bring it down there. Well, my sister bought a house with her now XFiance and somehow my parents WITH OUT My permission gave her this machine. Her XFiance vacuumed underneath their broken leaking dishwasher just before the arrival of their brand new dishwasher. Well he sucked up water and killed 2 Hoover canister vacuums that day!!!

So this machine now has the motor from my parents Turbo Power 5000 suction unit and because of that I've left the vacuum with them, but I stole back the power nozzle!!!

Really loved this vacuum, it served me quite well and took care of my allergy problem in college as the other vacuum that roomates supplied wasn't cutting the mustard. I made a lot of money taking this vacuum to work with me cleaning houses too!!!

***This machine did not originally come with an on/off agitator switch on hose, I bought that special as a nice upgrade as I love that feature and it was perfectly placed on that hose handle!!

Hoover Windtunnel Plus S3639

I bought this vacuum to replace my parents Kenmore Progressive 25513 in their vacation home as I didn't like the Kenmore. This machine was so much better!!!! Terrific cleaner. The turbine powered hand tool, works really good too!!

I have this but....

I have this machine but the power nozzle is waiting for a new hose to connect suction duct to arrive. Should be here shortly.

The suction unit is being repaired by another member on this forum. We will meet up in the next few weeks and I'll post pics of entire machine.

In the meantime, I bought this ad off of eBay to admire!!!

My parents had this one. The power nozzle died and they got a replacement that was actually for the Guardsman above. I'd love to run one of these again someday if not own one!!!

Yeah, thats one thing I didn't like about the earlier Hoover canisters. But with the simpler design there is less stuff to go wrong... one thing that plagued our Kenmore canister with the quick disconnect was the wands would short out even though we'd baby it. There's always a trade off.

Let me ask this question

Does the PowerMax have the same motor as the Futura canister? I need a new switch cover for my futura. I ordered one for a Windtunnel canister and it didn't fit.
 
hooverman2121: well i never use it, its really dirty as it was a trash find. filtration isn't too bad, suction not the best but substantial enough.
also in the uk our hoover canisters are badged as vaxs, and most people like them, but some of them can be a bit fragile, i'm not too interested in them to be honest.
