Hoover Elite 600

Is this design related to the Riccar Supralite?

I just bought a Riccar supralite that could pass for the Hoover's twin. I love the little Riccar, but it causes one to wonder about the design. Many simularities--base, motor layout, bag placement, fill tube.

one of my favorites for sure.

I love that elite, I havent seen one in years, my mother bought a green elite(the lowest model with no attachments, height adjustment or light) from Service Merchandise when our Kenmore upright died. I loved the elite except the cord was a bit too short for me. Hopefully I will find one at a yardsale now that seeing that makes me want one.

A Hoover Elite 350...

...is what I might be fixing on the weekend. My friend found one in his coat closet, and it is his first vacuum. He wants me to repair it.

I am looking for a motor that went to the early elite. Mine is now right at 20 years old and the motor is telling me everytime I turn it on that it is ready to retire. But I don't want the more powerful higher amped motor that the later elites had. I just want the (I think it was) 5 amp motor?

I need two of them, really because my white elite 200 is also 20 yeasr old and it has a newer motoe in it but I want as close to original as I can get. Also if anyone has the early to mid 90's light green Runabout by Hoover without head light and the top of bag slides off. I think it might be the first runabout? I really want one. After I retired my elites and put them away from everyday use I bought the Runabout and it died years ago. It lasted only six years of two or three times a day use, not to mention every house on the street got a cleaning with it as well. They all loved to see me as a little kid come down the road with my little green vacuum.

we had one of those green Runabouts with the bag slide on top. it was green and it did have a headlight, I think. It replaced our light grayish-green elite. We bought it for $94 at K-Mart in April 1994

I recommend the Hoover Elite Commercial C1404 motor. It has 7.1 amps. Also, I recommend the plastic brushroll with 4 rows of stiff white brushes.

Does anyone have a pic of a green, headlightless, silding ba

If so, I would like to see it. It sounds just like a hoover elite 200.

my elite might have had a headlight after all. I can't remember. I am wanting to say it had a place for it but there was just a green plate in place of the light lens. kind of like that later metal bassed convertible had that red plate in place of the ligh.
