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.
 
Of all the older Hoover canisters, the Dimension 1000 is probably my favorite... probably because that's what I grew up with.

Had a blue one without the variable speed control, and a black one with the speed control that my mom gave to her friend because she liked it so much.

Hi Kenny,

I believe the motor for PowerMax and Futura canisters was the same. Now over time they revised the on/off switch. It also depends on does your Futura use cord wrap storage or cord rewind. The switch pedals were different on the cord wrap storage. Some of the older on/off switch pedals used a stem in the center to activate the switch. The revised ones don't need that stem. YOu can can cut off the center stem and then that switch pedal should fit over your on/off switch. Also while you're doing, you may consider removing the spring that's inside that's on top of the on/off switch, it's really not necessary and machine is much easier to use without that spring in there.

you can check schematics at www.hescoinc.com. Find your model and see. Please post a picture of your Futura and other Hoover's as well!!
