Hoover Commercial Windtunnel Habitat Find

[vintagevaclover]

Went to habitat today and found a very nice near mint condition Hoover Commercial Windtunnel. I didn't even know they made these. I plugged it in and it runs fine. No idea what it's worth but I figured it was worth atleast $10 which is what I paid.

I'm curious what the model number of the vac is. Nice find btw. Always cool to encounter something like that you didn't even know existed.

It should be model # C1703900 and it retails for $520.00

$520? I've never paid more then $350 for one. Usually less than that even and I have 3 of them.

That's what it says on the Hoover websight

Well, whatever their website says, I know what I've paid for mine and it was nowhere near $520. It's a great machine but I would never pay that much for it.

Home Depot has them for $345, but Toolup.com has them for $188 with shipping and tax:

The prices on the Hoover website are usually list price which is always sky high compared to reality.

Yea I think $520 is a bit much for this vacuum. It is fairly decent though
