Calling all Hoover canister owners!

[kloveland]

My Bear would like to wish everyone, HAPPY HOLIDAYS! My mother took me too literally when I asked for a bare tree. What I really wanted was a bare tree, so I could look at the lights. Instead I received an actual Bear tree. I know it's not part of the discussion, sorry Rob. [this post was last edited: 1/4/2013-14:43]

WOW, I love this thread!!!

Everyones canisters look great. Kenny, I sent you a message through the forum with power switch pedals with and with out post, along with rear power nozzle wheels. Just wish I knew whether your machine used post or not. The pedal with a post is discontinued and hard to find. The without post pedal is still available even on Hoover.com.

Wheels are easy, as they're still made today for all the original style Windtunnel Power nozzles. All parts will be black in color.

Below are some of my Hoover power nozzle headlights in the dark!! Hoover PowerMax Deluxe S3607 head on the right and Hoover PowerMax Supreme S3530 (Futura style) head on the left.

Kenny, a 2 brush agitator will also fit your machine, if desired. It would be part number 48414081. Get Genuine Hoover and not a CWP brush roll. The CWP Elite brush roll is terrible on Futura/ PowerMax power nozzles.

This is only if desired, your brush roll looks to be in great condition still.


Anybody that needs Hoover parts, type your part number in the Hoover website search bar first!!! Their prices are very low compared to many other sites and most of the time they have free shipping, with promo code. Currently Free Shipping promo code is: NEWYEAR

Go to Hescoinc.com first to find your model number machine or similar and find part number. Put that in Hoover search bar. If that returns nothing, then web search the part number or "part name" as stated in schematic and see if another website returns a more up to date part number. Then input that part number into Hoover search box. Yahoo search is nice because it opens the selected websites in a new tab, and you always have access to the original search query window.

Here are the Hoover Power nozzles above with room lights and camera flash back on.

We did have the Electronic 1000 model S3231 from 1982 to 1984. Only the power nozzle seemed to be made here.

John Gregory, have you visited this page yet??

If you have, wondering if you've seen Kenny's Futura and know whether that switch needs a post or not in the pedal. My research shows that the Pedal with Switch is 38422162 and with out post is 38422164. I'm thinking it looks like a low profile switch so it needs a post. But I've never worked on or used one of these Futuras with the lack of cord reel, so I'm not sure exactly what the pedal design looks like. Your input is priceless.

Also we would love pictures from you John. We know you have some Hoover canisters like that vault Celebrity, it would picture so well here and perhaps a Dimension 1000!!!

Have a wonderful weekend to everyone. TGIF!!!

This PowerMax nozzle was on eBay and I just love the color of it so much that I saved a picture from it!! LOL!! Not sure what model it is for though. The S3606 PowerMax Deluxe would be similar shade and not have belt view window but the sticker would be the updated version and it would have accordian on wire. S3603 or S3603-040 would be a slightly darker blue I believe and would have a belt window.

Your Portapowers

Kenny,

About your two Portapower units: is it true that the first one with the Oyster White body is model S1075(-060) while the second one wearing the Pastel Gray body is model S1049?

So many wonderful machines in this thread!

Thank you Benjamin Edge for adding details to my scans! Much appreciated!

One more addition

Purchased this Hoover Duros canister about an hour ago. It was cheap probably because someone had used an “S” style bag instead of an “SR” type bag. So I headed off my local vacuum shop to purchase the correct style of bag. This will be a fun vacuum to cleanup. It’s small, compact and looks easy to use. Best of all it’s a HOOVER.

How did they get the bag door to shut?

The bag compartment will have to be thoroughly cleaned.

The previous owners must have been very neglectful. Wonder if the oil has been changed in their car recently.

Ben - I will try to get the model numbers off the port-a-powers today.

Rich - I had the Hoover Anniversary Windtunnel canister at one time. I liked it except the small wheels on the power nozzle made some ugly track marks on my plush carpet.
