i wanted to start a 119 thread. would like to see how many cherished 119s are out there. i will try to upload a better pic of mine soon.

I was gonna buy one off eBay but they aren't really worth much as there so common

a good condition hoover will be worth a bit to a collector one day as they are not made cheaply like modern machines. dysons and vax are all plastic and break more often hence why i dont have any.

Lol I don't blame you for having any plastic machines!

I have a Hoover Jr-beleive its 115-similar to the machine shown-agreed-this little guy is BETTER than Orecks and other compact vacuums-like how its METAL and not plastic like the others.Would an Oreck or other plastic compact uprights still be running and usable as these Hoovers are 50-60 yrs from now?I don't have tools and the hose for mine.

hi tolivac. i have seen the 115 model you have over there. slightly different colour to ours here but pretty much the same. i doubt any orecks or dysons will be running for as long as these guys. there might be a few running in years time but probably not with the same motor it had when it left the factory. you cant beat good quality and craftsmanship.

The Hoover Junior 119, with its descendants, the 1224, 1334, and the Junior Dirtsearcher 1354

great vacs chestermike. i hope to one day come across a real nice example of the 1224. if i hadnt been out the other night i probably would have won the matching dustette for the 1224.

i also love the bananna shape bags. i converted mine to take a paper bag inside original so it can always stay clean without having to shake bag. has not decreased suction whatsoever.
