Hello everyone,I'm new to the site and wanted to say how excited I am to be a part of a forum such as this,with folks that understand my love for vintage machines. I am a washer collector already. I have always liked vintage vacuums and am now getting into them. Thanks dryclean1

You do mean the brand HOOVER, right? Or are you using the British term for vacuum cleaners in general?


 


Glad to see another HOOVER fan out there, you'd get along greatly with John Long (gottahaveaHOOVER is his username)! He's the biggest HOOVER collector in the east (if not the continental United States!). I'm a big fan of HOOVERS, too, only my household has more than strictly Hoover branded cleaners (unlike John's, except for the TWO Kirbys he keeps in the cellar!

thanks for the great welcome!

I would like to thank all the sincere folks who welcomed my new membership. Yes it is the brand Hoover that I like so much. I started recently with Hoover Twin tub washers. I acquired two over night. I have always had a love for all kinds of cleaning machines in general. I was a drycleaner for 20 years. Luckily I have a huge basement and my wife is an antique lover and collector also. Thanks so much! Dryclean1
 
Welcome!!

Nobody Gets The Dirt Like Hoover, Nobody!!

Welcome Aboard!! It's always nice to welcome a new face. Tons of information to find. I love Hoovers, mostly from 70's to 90's!

Hello, and welcome! I like Hoovers as well, but my biggest favorites are Electrolux and Kirby. I did see quite a few Hoovers when growing up but the vast majority of families in our area had Electroluxes and Kirbys.

My favorite Hoovers are the 700, 825, 925, 27, 28, 150, the Duster, the 913 & 918 commercial models, the 64 Citation, and the later floating Constellations -- especially the turquoise 454 and the tilted 843 (both the gold and yellow versions but I kinda favor the yellow one -- it's a more fun color!)

The models I currently have are 102, 105, 541, 700, 475, 918 (two of them, both slightly different), 454, 843, Celebrity QS, 4403, Decade 800, and a Bag Cleaner.

Someday I'd love to find another 825, 925 and 150. I've always regretted letting them go although I had to do so at the time.

Here (in no particular order) are some photos of my Hoovers, some of which I no longer have.

my collection is started!

I just obtained a nice hoover convertible upright from I think the early 70s. It is a lime green and has a patterned vinyl bag. I just vacuumed my front entrance with it on Sat. My wife couldn't believe how it picked up the pine needles with no -problem at all! I still want to collect hoover constellations,the cannisters have always been a favorite for me.
 
found a great hoover!

I am so happy to say,thanks to a very nice gentleman who is a fellow member I am buying a pristine model 84 constellation! I know it is from the 50s. Can anyone tell me a roundabout year? Thanks
 
The model 84 was made in 1956 and 57, and there was a model 84-B made in 1957 and 58. The 84 was the second model of the Hoover Constellation, the first being the model 82, which was made from 1954 through 1956. Congrats on a great find.
Jeff
