Hey Rob, aren't you going to get a Youtube account sometime soon (just asking)? I'd love to see videos of your vacuums in action.

Hoover canisters.

Hoover canisters are wonderful! I have a black hoover dimmension 1000 electronic, straight suction non floating celebrity and two spirits, one with a pn port, bag indicator and cord winder and the other is a basic model. The dimmension is a beast of a machine and pulls quite a bit of dirt out of carpets, but it is not the most convinient to use, however the spirit with the pn is perfect! It is light, powerful, and versitle. I got it recently at a mini meet and I love it! It did not have the pn when I got it but I just use the pn from the dimmension, I use it with a straight suction hose for the cars to. I would love to find a powermax canister sometime, they look nice!

Yes Hoover canisters are wonderful. I'm grown up with them so I don't find the raised locking knob inconvenient to use at all like some people who grew up on Kenmores, etc. They're power is not overwhelming but they're easy to use and do a great job cleaning. The Hoover Dimensions were a power house. The suction on that is very hard to compete with from any manufacture. Though the machine itself is a heavy suction unit to carry around. The headlight equipped Quadraflex PowerMatics were great. Powerful, quiet, attractive looking, easy foot pedal on/off for agitator and wonderful swivel neck. If you didn;t have to pull the cord through the hole to service it and there was an accordian on it and also a stronger handle release with button, this power head would be almost perfect. If only Hoover didn't discontinue their brush strips for this, now its kind of a tough call whether its worth collecting one or not. Very sad.

The PowerMax machines aren't perfect but for their price, they're excellent cleaners, lightweight and easy to use. I love the attachments, they're essentially perfect!!

Rob,


I have to agree with you on the Hoover Canisters or rather the power nozzles. Hoover and Eureka designed some of the best power nozzles. The big fifteen inch Hoover Quardaflex is my favorite in terms of cleaning ability. Hoover should have designed the plastic housing better as I've had some broken power nozzles in the past. Hoover and Eureka’s agitation and grooming ability far exceed the Electrolux power nozzles I’ve used. Electrolux has some other strong points and I do enjoy Electrolux or I wouldn’t be collecting them. 


The older style Hoover wall and floor brush is my favorite attachment. It’s prefect for cleaning walls and ceilings and it won’t scratch them. The brushes are full and thick and do an excellent job! 


I’m cleaning houses and doing some yard work for senior citizens on the weekends. Helping senior’s makes a great little side job and I get to vacuum, so I’m really happy about that!

Eventually Hoover will revive their old canisters someday.
