Hoover Convertible (information needed)

[oreckboy]

Hello Vacuum Land! I have had this Hoover Convertible for years, but I've known pretty much nothing about it. But what I do know is that everything is original, the color is orange and the height adjustment is broken. It also runs perfectly. It's a model 04095 but when I searched that on google, nothing came up. Basically, what I would like to know is what year it is, what is the name of the color and if its uncommon or not. I got this vacuum as a trash find, and all or needed was a belt and some unclogging. Thanks! - oreckboy

I believe the color was called Copper. Is it a metal or plastic base?

The base is metal

U4047?

Hi!

I have almost the exact same convertible, listed as Model #U4047, The only difference being that my 4047 Has a Vinyl Snap-Bag, Stating "HOOVER" in capital white letters, going down the bag.

While I am unsure if you model carries the following features, The 4047 I possess Also carries the "snap/Slide-in" Style of tool converter, has four height adjustment levels [Shag, High, Normal & Low]. The cord has the older style "Rounded" plug.

Are these similar models, or something else?

Similar, very similar.

I have 2 of these models. One has terrible marks on the metal base. I'll be selling that one.
That was one great trash find!

Oreckboy....I must concur with John, that was a GREAT find you got there!! That Convertible of yours looks to be in great shape....whoever owned it must have taken great care of it & was careful with their vacuum when using it.

Best of luck to you in fixing the height adjustment on the Convertible & building your collection.

Thanks everyone for all the help! Now I know more about my Hoover! I do not know much about the attachments for it because I don't have any. I am hoping to get more attachments and hopefully expand my vacuum collection more.
