Hoover Dial a Matic U5007

Does anyone have a picture of one that they could post. I think it's the one I used to own back then. Thanks.

I have a model U5007.

In fact mine is in mint condtion. This is not a easy model to find.

No, it definitely isn't. I'd say this and the green U5017 are probably the hardest to come by. This was the only one with "Dial-A-Matic" printed right under the Hoover name. Was this one of the last non-powerdrive models?

Yes this was close to the end of the DAM. The green U5017 is one I'm dyeing to find.

That's similar

I owned the second to the right with the flour in the middle, it's completely exact. Is yours a newer model or is it not that model?

 

[TheSpiritOf76]

no....

That is the same one. Model U5007 in Coppper.

To the right of the U5007 I see the persian gold U5015. I always called the color "butterscotch" as a kid. On later DAM's the cleaner body has two plastic rivets to raise and lower the front wheels, previously they used metal. I'm sure this was done as a cost cutting touch. Has anybody had problems with the plastic ones breaking? I never have I'm just curious?
