Favorite hoover convertible?

[gottahaveahoove]

Convertibles are great (some disagree)

In "Who's Minding the Store"?, it was a Convertible model 68....I JUST restored mine least week. Pics to follow.
69 wold come next...in Neptune Green. Model 69 was the first one to have a white handle and Convertible printed on the lens.
Great vacuums!1

This is one of my favourite Convertibles!

We had one like this when I was growing up.

I wish I could have a model 69 with ultraflex hose.

Does anyone have one of these to sell that is good cosmetically & runs good?

Appearance wise

Can someone tell me what the main difference is between a "Senior" and a "Junior" Hoover? Thank you in advance.

I'm no expert on UK Hoovers, but I think the main difference between a Senior and a Junior is the orientation of the motor: a Senior has a motor with the fan facing down, like a classic American Hoover Convertible. The Junior has a motor with the fan facing forward...it's kind of like a mini compact version of a Kirby with the dust bag situated to one side of the handle.

My favorite Convertible is probably the model 70 in beautiful blue. These are some of my Hoover Convertibles. The rest are waiting to trip old people on my Staircase at home.

The 'seniors' are our

"Convertibles". we called the juniors the apt vacuums.


 They are smaller, all plastic base, (before our Convertibles went that way), switch is not on the handles, etc.  Tools are very different, too.


  Still ,you should have a few.................


Think of how many you could line a staircase with !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
