Hoover Guardsman

[reginafan]

I picked this up on EBay a while back. It is in great shape and all it needed was a good cleaning which I finally got around to doing this evening.It is a model U 4313. Can any of you Hoover experts tell me how old it is? Thanks!

Age

I believe these models to be late '70's-mid '80's. There was a series of Guardsman products, and this was the upright. Great looking vacuum! Enjoy!

I have one just like yours!!Got it from the "over 30 day pile" at a former vacuum place.Works very nicely.Would like to replace the plastic fan with a metal one,though.Metal Hoover fans are hard to find here.

Beautiful machine! I have the same model, and at one time one of our Hoover enthusiasts dated it 79-80. It's one of my favorite "convertible" type vacuums, something about the red and chrome combo that makes it a real looker!
