Dirt Devil Broom Vac

Well, I'll take one of each! Those things are slick looking. This also poses a problem because I thought there was little difference between the 733 and 737 and now I realize there is a big difference. Now I have one more rare Dirt Devil I need to find. Great! I also never knew about a pro series stick vac so I'll have to keep an eye out for all of those too.
As far as Dirt Devil spec sheets, if you have any more I'd love to see any and all that you have. Since you seem to be a great resource with this paperwork, you woulden't happen to have spec sheets on Royal metal hand vacs from that time period, or any time period for that matter? I'd love to see one of those.

burning???
should I look into repairing? It IS cute. sad reminders of an X in Jersey, but............... And, by the way, I live in a VERY Italian town. I LOVE Italians, well, some more than others. And, I have "doubles" of about 15 HOOVERS, plus the 10 Pixies. Thanks for the encouragement. John

There's something about Flaming Red Dirt Devils that makes me see red. So I was happy to drag home this blue bagged one with the heart shaped corner brushless nozzle. Kinda cute in a kangaroo way. 
On the backside are slots & holders for crevice tool, upholstery brush, dusting brush and wand extension. All I have is the wand.
Another of the free curbside gleans from Thorndale, a Dirt Devil Swivel Glide Platinum with rear casters rather than straight wheels, it's up and running again.
When I was at Ellison's Vac shop this aft Bill had one just like it in for repair...
The suction through the brushroll and bag chamber are fantastic. But there doesn't seem to be any mechanism for diverting full suction mainly to the hose when it is wanted and used with the tools (like Hoovers with the plug-n hose or a sliding door across the brushroll inlet on Cleaning Tools setting). Because of this the hose & tools are more of a dubious affectation than of any real use. Can anyone explain what I'm missing?
Certainly nowhere near the high quality thick plastic and internal ribbing as a Hoover upright bagged of similar 'vintage'.

Hoover wins again.
No wonder it's Preferred.
Better construction & engineering and a more Royal Blue.
Much more all around useful - when the hose is plugged in it blocks the air passage from the brushroll admitting full vacuum force to the hose.

There's the Hoover Elite Preferred again...
I'm just as enthusiastic about that machine as you are! The Hoover Elite Preferred wins over all my vacuums, too. But, it can compete with a friend's Hoover Elite 350 that he wants me to fix for him. We are going to the vacuum store tomarrow to buy a piece that holds the motor down on the left side that broke.

Revisiting Dirt Devil suction diverter
"But there doesn't seem to be any mechanism for diverting full suction mainly to the hose when it is wanted and used with the tools (like Hoovers with the plug-n hose or a sliding door across the brushroll inlet on Cleaning Tools setting).

Never mind - I was having a moment of idiocy. The DD hose runs through the back directly into the paper bag with clean air suction - and lots of it. The hose has a handled removable wand end that connects to the fitting & short hose leading to the brushroll intake and so the hose is always ready to use with tools. Duh. Found some black tools and a wand extension to fill those empty spaces. Lending this to a gal with a shaggy small dog so we'll see how it goes...
Guess I was all flummoxed & diverted in my thinking by the Hoover's dirty air configuration & plug-in hose for tool use.
