picture thread- our new vacuums

[brandon_w_t]

Not that I (unfortunately) Have any new unused vacuums.

But for those of you who do. Whether it be the NIB compacts- a new Hoover 61 or convertible. Or a rare new electrolux. Or kirby.

How about this- it does not have to be in a box- because some vacuums did not come in one. Like who on here has a hoover vault machine?

*** Lightly used but completely mint condition can be applied here!


Post your pictures here!

Here's my Hoover Sensotronic System 20. It's been used about 4 times since 1988. It had been used twice when I got it; I used it once to make the video (see link), and once in celebration of my friend Seamus' birthday a few weeks back.

I also have a few NIB or lightly used modern machines, but I won't post those, since many of them are still on sale, so they don't really count!

Cool

There is a NIB Hoover canister here in the US from the 80s for sale. A little expensive. But it is a vault machine.

Someone help with the model?

Rarity

Well this one looks super rare. A good price too. 200 starting.

A real nice color scheme. I wish I could find one like this- anyone got one of these?

 

[brandon_w_t]

My favorite

Ive got my eye on this. I wish the bag was blue or something though.

Hi Brandon...I thought you meant us to post our own NIB machines, not just stuff off eBay?

 

[brandon_w_t]

Opps

Yea. But why not- they are brand new- thought people would enjoy them too.

they are for sale so these could be someone's "future" vacuum!

OK

Here's one of my favorites - NIB. The Hoover Model 53.

 

[vintagehoover]

Fred, that 53 is beautiful! You don't want to swap for the Sensotronic, do you?

 

[brandon_w_t]

both

are really beautiful machines. I think the 53 is good for show and looks. But if I had that sensotronic- it would see a lot of use XD. Just kidding. But I bet it is a good vacuum.

Jack

I think not. The 53 is one of my favorites. Thanks for the offer though.

I don't blame you Fred! If I had one like that, you'd have to pry it from my cold, dead fingers! I don't care if I had to live in a van down by the river, I'd NEVER let something that nice go.

 

[vintagehoover]

Don't worry, Fred - I was kidding!

Vintage Shop Vac mdl #500 w/Steel Tank

I have a 1980 Shop Vac mdl #500 Steel tank NIB (not really; it was my dad's workshop vac) & COMPLETE but the hose cracked after yrs of storage. WHAT AN INCREDIBLE FIND! Box is beat-up shape but everything else OK.

 

[tristar]

I've got 3...

I have 3 NIB cleaners.

First one is a 1993 Regina HouseKeeper Ultra. It's actually a respectable cleaner! But at 12.5 amps it makes the lights dim!

Number 2

While not TRULY NIB, It was so new when I found it that it still had all the static paper on all the metal parts, original brushroll, and not even so much as a NICK on the original Lexan fan... Kirby Heritage II Legend. I didn't polish this one either.....this is how I found it! $34 at Salvation Army.
