My Extensive Collection Part 3

[gsheen]

Love that Hoover, I have a hard bagged blue version. 


 


On that new Simplicity Model, I am a huge fan of both poly toothed and poly V belts, due to the fact that they do not streatch and so give the same cleaning performance continuously, Unlike rubber made normal elastic belts that loose there elasticity quickly and need to be replaced every few months to maintain proper cleaning. 


The Poly belts can deteriorate over time but it takes years, Most will last 10 to 20 years with ease.

Dan. meant to ask - is the Hoover Platinum Upright (bagged) the same as the Hoover Signature or are they completely different?

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Nar

they are completely different .

The Hoover Platinum and the Royal Pro Series are basically the same machines .

That Royal Protege...

Again, thanks for posting...

I will have to ask John Gregory if he might know who made this Royal .

It reminds me of a Tacony or Panasonic vacuum a very quality feel to it
metal brush roll metal handle quiet and powerful
look like it would last many years .

I have simplicity bags in it and it takes Panasonic bags too .

Darn. Thanks. It would be great if TTI allowed Vax to bring it over as a bagged brand in the UK but I don't see that happening.

Oh how I would love to find one of those, They were called the convertible here in South Africa, Convertibles were given the 652 designation and later known as seniors, I have not seen one of those in maybe 15 years at least.

I like that allot, We never got those in SA, I figure I would triple  my collection if I cam to the USA. 


 


I like the mixture of plastic body and on board attachments with a cloth bag.

This Hoover started as the Concept one and ended as the Powermax .
It is a quality vacuum very sturdy and cleans very well .
We certainly have had many machines through out the years .
You would really build up your collection here in the US

Got that exact one...

.
at a thrift store for a 10 spot. I haven't prepared it for use yet however so no one would confuse which was which, mine is definetly on the scuffy dirty side.
I would see them periodically in Craigs but too far and or too much. Finally the price was right and i bought one.
What other colors did these come in Dan?

 

[hoovercelebrity]

The burgundy U3729 was one of the assembly lines I was shown the first time I visited the Hoover HQ in N Canton, in 1993, when I was 10. That and the U4617 Elite... So that model has always had a special place in my mind. I'd love to have one of that model some day, but for the time being I have the black U3745 variable-speed model to keep me occupied until a U3729 comes my way.

They are great machines... Early models had the Quadraflex Agitator, later models had the Elite style agitator. They came in 4 colors, I believe...

Model U3721 was 'Ultra Blue Deep', U3729 was 'Crimson'...

 

[hoovercelebrity]

The U3737 was 'Forest Green', and the U3745 was 'Black'. Although I feel like I've seen a green model with the variable speed... Not sure what that model would have been, perhaps a promotional model for a specific retailer.

 

[hoovercelebrity]

Not trying to hijack the thread, but here's mine... Dan is right, an incredible cleaner. I often reach for this machine when vacuuming the carpet upstairs.
