I have a temp position this week cleaning apartments for Merry Maids. They use Hoover Commercial soft bag Elites. Its very interesting that the bags are actually manufactured with a Merry Maids logo printed on the green cloth outer bags with zipper on the side. Only the power head states Hoover Commercial. Sorry I don't have any pictures at this time.

if they were still making them now what would they look like today

I saw a PowerDrive today but it was missing the attachments and covered in paint specs. I also saw an early gray Elite II but it was dirty and missing the hose and tools.

Are any of the Elites quiet, or are they all loud? I would like to find a moderately quiet one.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Truly, the ONLY way for them to be quiet

is to turn them off. They're good, but loud, indeed.

You can't have your cake and eat it too it seems!

I'd rather eat it though... Damn I'm hungry! Then again, I'm always hungry.

I find the Elites a little better than average noise for a fan first upright. Most fan first uprights are pretty loud. However they're much better in noise than Eureka Powerlines, Dirt Devils and many others!

One thing, the noise they make isn't really obnoxious with high pitch tones or anything. The tone is pleasant and maybe that's why I don't mind it too much.

If you want quieter get a canister vac. Hoover Power nozzle motors just purrr so nicely. I could listen to a Hoover Power nozzle motor all day long, love them SOOOO MUCH!!!!! Hoover Windtunnel, Hoover PowerMax, Hoover Futura, Hoover Quadraflex Powermatic all just great sounding motors.

I suspected that canisters were quieter than most direct air uprights would be. I got a Eureka 1934A several months back hoping it would be fairly quiet, but it is still loud, though not a high pitched noise, it is louder than I'd like.

 

[mr_mom]

two of my eureaks are quiet but my one is real loud that i need ear plugs and my other runs like it should but i stil like my elites just hope i can find the one elite that i really want to find

Elites I once owned

Here are my blue U4641-930, manufactured 06/94 & red U4261-930, manufactured 03/96

Both are curbside finds; unfortunately I had to let go of both.

 

[mr_mom]

i love my elites wonder what they would look like if there were a bagless

 

[kirbyultimateg]

Does anybody have any scans for the Hoover Elite 200s/350s/600s? Thank you.

I do have scans for each of those models, however I do not have access to the hard drive I've saved them on at the moment. I'll try to post them Saturday night, if not then on Sunday morning. They all look exactly like the one on Reply# 4.

I saw a green Bagless Elite at the thrift store. It was in good shape with the attachments, but I have a select few vacuums I'm interested in obtaining, so I left it.

There's also the Tempo with an Elite motor.
