Where did you find those beauties?
Very nice Keith but I'm disappointed. Your Celebrity is missing the curved upper wand. The hose should not be going into a straight wand

Beautiful Hoovers, Keith! The colours are subtle and very refined....quite elegant and seem appropriate for an elegant home with nice furnishings.
Thanks guys
@ Gary : The missing curved wand was my oversight :-( Its still in storage- I have to seek it out .

They are beautiful.
It's a testament to your good taste.

Good taste indeed.
Those are beautiful ! I like the almond/rust combination. I like just about all the two tone color combinations Hoover was doing in the later 70s and into the 80s.
Yes, the wand was screaming for replacement as the hose looks painfully bent but we know you are displaying these and showing us these wonderful machines. You'll find the correct chrome wand.
I still like the Quadraflex. So well designed. I like the sound of it too, I don't know what it is about the sound.
I used to have 6 of those. A gray Dimension, (2) mint green, an almond like yours, a slate green, and rust colored one. I preferred using them over my electrolux "L" nozzle. But they were all good.
To find both a Celebrity and a matching upright AND both in good condition. You have a good eye.

Quadraflex nozzle
tufflex hose, stellar. That was Hoover at it's best.
Imagine making Convertible with Quad , Windtunnel, LED light, Hepa filter...............THAT would be something. There's NO WAY TTi would ever do that.
EVERYTHING on the website is "Onepower'. They want NOTHING to do with their rich, successful past. just the red logo.(it seems)

And, Keith,
You can dress up a room, by merely sitting in a chair in that room
.
Was that embarrassing?

L o L ...Hi John...no not all And thank you
And thank you
Just giving you a hard time Keith. I know you are so particular about your vacs so when you displayed the Celebrity not totally in 'correct' form, I just had to rib you a little

Keith,
You never disappoint!
That's a beautiful Celebrity.
I'm guessing that's probably one of the best versions of the Celebrity.
I've always been partial to the slightly older, simpler version, with the round cord reel on the top.
The sort of mustard gold color, or maybe an avocado green.
If you have one like that, it would be great to see it!

Quick question: where is the exhaust on this later model of Celebrity? Is it blown through vents on the bottom of the canister?
You always display wonderful
Hoovers. Hoover+s= plural. As we know, Hoover's denotes possession/ownership. Don't you hate when people use apostrophes for plural? It's like saying, "I bought DVD'S. DVD'S what? DVDs plural.
But...
Your Hoovers are beautiful. And, your Hoovers' owner is a great guy. (plural possessive. Sorry, grammar nazi here.
I must change some bags in my Hoovers.

It's not quite clear. Here is a link for a base for sale.
The older model blue one apparently has holes but the newer rust colored one....?

I see they got wise and put some upward directed side louvers.
Anything that's exhausting air onto the floor where it can blow dust around is a terrible design. That's one of the reasons this vacuum is such a bad design, imo.
....but I love the late 70s and 80s Hoover colors, so. Hoover love.

Interesting! Indeed - I much prefer an upward exhaust like those on Miele canisters. As much as I loved my Eureka Mighty Mite, the powerful exhaust used to blast surface litter all over the place before I had a chance to clean it up!
These upward vents on the brown Celebrity are a big improvement, though any litter falling into them could be blown out the next time it’s turned on. Unless there was some exhaust filter designed to cover the holes.
