Our first post although we registered prior to the site redesign.

We're offering a Hoover Electronic 1000 Powernozzle Variable Speed Cleaning System Vacuum

Model S3231

Includes attachments and one vacuum bag.

This vacuum still works but an upright replaced it as the primary vacuum so it has seen little usage in recent years. Reasonable offers are welcome.

Contact us with any questions and for more photos.

Vacuum comes from the smoke-free home of a close relative.

We're currently in Southern New England

WOW!!!!! You do realize you have one of the RAREST canister vacuums in North America, let alone what Hoover offered and made right?

I would strongly suggest you NOT sell that vacuum to Cheesewonton! Take it off here, and put it up on Ebay IMMEDIATELY! And make sure you ask AT LEAST a $2,000 dollar starting bid. You WILL get the money for it! Yes, they are that rare, and very sought after by collectors.

Well, that's quite a plot twist.

In my efforts to do my research, I've found little on this particular vacuum - although I was led here to this site.

80's, French-made canister vacuum. Can I assume the 'remote control' feature is what makes so rare and sought after?

Yes, that's part of it. Plus like you said it was imported from France for only about 1.5 to 2 years I think. It was replaced immediately by the Dimension 1000. The UK members here, if you look in the archives, quite liked this canister. And therefore it probably had a good following by the general public over in Europe. It's actually strange why they didn't keep the model, rather than come out with the Dimension 1000.

I have a later model of the Electronic 1000 that was sold under a private label by an outfit in Melbourne Florida who's name escapes me. It was on eBay for $100 and not selling so I bought it. I'm too lazy to go out to the garage and move a bunch of stuff to read the label on the bottom and cannot remember the name of the outfit other than it was from Melbourne Florida. Nothing on it says Hoover but it looks like the blue Sensotronic 4 I have seen in old advertisements.

It didn't come with a power nozzle but I have a light blue Quadraflex that looks good with it. The trouble is the Sensotronic hose has a different pig tail connection than the standard Hoover power nozzle pig tail plug. To my amazement the local vac shop had a converter pigtail that was apparently intended to let us Yanks use our noisy Quadraflex with the Electronic 1000 hose handle. So that's how mine is set up. The US Hoover wands fit the hose handle too.

I frankly would like to take a fair offer locally and not have to deal with eBay and shipping, but it seems that what I considered a well-cared-for somewhat vintage vacuum might be a hidden treasure that worth the trouble.
