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!!
