'...however trying to find an early Elite without a broken fan housing or a dry motor and you're looking for a needle in a haystack. Why is that?'

How much less than a contemporary Oreck did an Elite cost?

You Do Have Quite a Goldmine of Vacuums

Corey,

You do indeed have quite a goldmine of vacuums!

Among what I saw there was:
*Hoover Swingette 409 (1973-1975)
*Hoover Dial-A-Matic U6041-030 (1976-1978)
*Hoover Dial-A-Matic U6039-030 (1976-1978)
*Hoover Dial-A-Matic 1178 (1969-1971)

That's alot of vacs!

FANTOM FURY!

I got one too. Bought it for $7 at the Goodwill. It needed a new belt and it had a toy stuck in the hose. I use it daily and it runs great.

Jack,

about the cost difference between an Elite and an Oreck.
I believe a BOL Oreck is like $299 or some where around that price.

An Elite 200(like your turbolite) was I think $59 or $69 and you could get a better model for $99 and I think as time went on there were a few models that were around $120 or so.

Corey,

Awesome collection, Nice variety of Hoovers.
Email me sometime, I would love to talk to you about vacs sometime

Thanks guys!

Thanks everyone for the nice comments!

Thank you Jack for posting a video on the Hoover 'The One' vacuum. I always wanted to see one of those in action! They look huge! Does the want have a permanently attached crevice tool?? When working properly, does it do a decent on the rugs?

Brian: Indeed the Hoover Dual voltage can run on both electrical currents. There is a small switch underneath the machine that lets you change the voltage. It's only 3 amps on the 110v setting! This vacuum also has the switch on the handle fork, like the old commercial convertibles, or the Hoover 31, which I find interesting. It's also got a thick 3-wire cord on it. All on a model with a plastic base! That vacuum was a generous gift from our own Swingette!

Good eye Bill for noticing the zip brush hanging on the Kirby Legend! I forgot I had that hanging there!

Thanks Mike the Discovery runs great and is in good shape. It's a little discolored. I've had that thing for about 4 years now. I like how easy those are to push. I like the attachments for those machines. It's not my best machine, but I've used it a lot!

I find Orecks with broken fan chambers/pivots all the time. Its one of the first things I check for.

"And the newer Cheapies"Do I spy a green Kenmore Duo next to the Discovery?Love itlove the collection,I see lots of memories in your collection.

I loved the hoover turbo powers and the turbo power juniors with the cloth bag.

Very good machines and good suction for carpets but poor suction on the hoses.

Long-hosed DAMs?

Hi Corey,

What a beatiful collection! You've obviously devoted a lot of time to it and it shows.

I'm curious about the DAMs in the first two photos. They appear to have very long hoses strapped over the handle. Is that a way of displaying the hose that came with the toolkit? Are they integrated in some way? I've not seen anything like that before and wondered what they were.

Cheers,

Nick

HenryDreyfus...

I love that you have a british Panasonic in your collection. The white MC-E41 (or MC-E44 if it's a later model) was my childhood vacuum

 

[hooverbaby]

That's a nice display of machines you've got there!

I keep hoping that one day I'll be able to get all mine properly on display...

Kirby Tradition in back row?

I do believe I see a beautiful Kirby Tradition in the back row with the other Kirbys--the blue handle, trim, and cord are a dead giveaway!

 

[schwinnapproved]

Corey, I like the way you set the room up! Can't wait to see it in person.

That is a Tradition you see in the back, It actually used to be mine hehe.
