My vacuum sightings

[fan-of-fans]

I’d forgotten about this thread but I did go to a thrift store this morning and saw these. That Quauntum X has been there since at least the summer, and at $99.

That Hoover Windtunnel I found interesting, as that color (Garnet Metal I believe) is quite uncommon compared to the typical blue or silver ones. It also does not have a Dirt Sensor which was quite unusual on the later Self Propelled models from what I’ve seen. I only recall seeing one other in that color.

I also stopped at a yard sale that had a Kirby G4, a Tristar black canister with all the attachments for $10 and an upright Hoover carpet cleaner. I saw a couple buy the Tristar.

Then I went to an estate sale and saw a silver Kenmore Elite Crossover Canister, for $60.

The

Oreck magnesium motor bearings go out and their battery computer thing in the handle is a pain in the butt.
If it's working good there good vacuums.

Although I did not get it, I spotted this Hoover Dimension 1000 in excellent condition. I recognize the merits of this canister, but it’s not my style. I did get a soft bag Dirt Devil Upright Plus model 6201 in red (not pictured).

Oh that hose!

Is ridiculously stumpy for a full sized canister. I don't know what Hoover was thinking but they missed the mark by a couple feet

Had one of them models, and I don't know if the hose was shortened or what but it was about 4 feet long end to end. I battled with that and the power head for days and ended up smashing it on the concrete it seems like the D1000 that was one step above this one had a longer and better hose....

Oh I would’ve snagged that in a heartbeat. I never see any high end Hoovers like that here and those variable Dimensions are super cool! I see a Kirby in the background too.

I missed that! Somehow, I did not see that Diamond Edition, neither in the store nor in my picture, until you pointed it out.

It is probably for the better I did not see it.

Someone butchered that hose! That was a Top of the Line model and originally would have come with an 8' hose. That one has been shrunk down. Excellent machines!
