Picking Vacs Out Of Garbages : What A Concept

[vacumaniac]

Found sitting along the roadside on the way back from work today..... it decided to follow me home..... Does anyone know the approximate age of my new friend?

I own that machine, a favorite. A bit loud, but nothing escapes it.late 80s I think, though your bag is different color.

Look at the Serial Number it should with a number like this 0988, which the month and the year it was made. These are from the late eighties or nineties.

They're big, loud, but good!

It's like a Dial-A-Matic on steroids!

Good find there, Derek! Looks like it's in such good shape, & the fact it's a powerdrive model is a bonus.

I always thought those machines were just from the 80's though; I never thought they had a Hoover Concept in the 90's but I could be mistaken.

Have fun playing with your new find!

I have a similar model

My daily driver! Loud as hell, but does a good job. Mine is from 01/89.

That's my childhood vacuum. My grandpa had two of them. Still has one to vacuum the third floor library. The other bit the dust a few years ago.


I had my own for a while. Replaced it with my current older green one.
