What brush roll did you choose?
Hmmm...something to think about, Tom. The CWP brushroll is out of the question. Too alien for a classy gem like the 334. Also, IMO, the original Convertible motors dont quite have enough oomph for the CWP.
The Hoover double-brush agitator seemed like the logical choice, but the bristles on it are softer than the ones Hoover currently makes for the original-helix agitator. so its a choice between a single row of brushes that are firmer (with beater bar) or double brushes (no beater bar) that are softer .
Kyle I: I think the Famous Hoover Warping Hood didnt last too long. My 31 had a not too terribly warped hood when i got it. I DID run the hood under very hot water to help with screwing it on. if you ask me, hot water is less likely to damage the hood than a hot blower.
Kyle II: yes, the chip in the fan! The resulting vibration was just enough to be noticed. Also, the shocking white of that wrong cord was too jarring next to the grey of the handle and black bag slide. Did you see the model 344 that Jeff took a picture of? it was the model that followed my 334, thats why it has a sticker and is painted different. I notice his also has a four-position lever.
Very nice 344, Jeff. If you ever decide youve had your fill of Hoovers and want Eureka Bravos instead, call me. And vice-versa.
