Hoover Hornet Portable Canister

[kirbyclassiciii]

Are any of you Hoover fanatics familiar with this rare breed of Hoover portable? It is a model Hornet (appropriately colored yellow).

Woah...that's loud for such a small cleaner!

I am! I recall seeing those at P.C. Richards in the mid '90's for $69.99. I have a PortaPower II, which uses the same Type "R" bag. There was also the Sprint and Tempo series, which IIRC, the top of the line had a motorized powernozzle. Nice little canister. I would love to have a Hornet!

Ben, that is a really nice little machine, seems like I do remember them but I'm not sure from what time period.
