John, you restored that Decade 80, remember!!!
I also have a Convertible U4413-042 that I use a fair amount.
It's cleaned up now, since this photo, I'll take another pic at some time, although it may journey to Pittston in January as well. One may never know!!

Don't forget I love this upright is well.
Is it real or is this figments of our imagination?? I am actually enjoying the use of an upright vacuum??? Is their hope of my breaking out of the power head canister shell? My profile still shows a canister!!!!
Hmmmm, What would the Magic 8 ball say!!
Always happy to be running my Hoovers!!!
Here's the Power Drive that I love!!

due to their lightness people tend to throw those hoovers out faster than convertibles and other types of heavier duty uprights....as a fan of the elite i am always on the lookout for a good one ....sometimes they do pop up on ebay
The Elites/Legacys/TurboLites cleans as well as the Concepts/Innovations/WindTunnels.

NOTHING OUT CLEANS THE HOOVER CONEPT ONE 4 BRUSH QUADROFLEX AGITATOR ELITE ARE CLOSE BUT THE CONCEPT ONE RULES THE ROOST
Is it me or that the Hoover Dial A Matic bagged self propelled uprights do not clean nearly as well as the Hoover WindTunnel bagged self propelled uprights? Thanks.
I had a Dial A Matic from 2003-2009. I had two WindTunnels. I had the 1st one from 2001-2006 and I had the 2nd one from 2006-2007.
When I had my DAM and my two WT's, I did a cleaning test on my medium pile nylon plush carpeting. The WT's cleaned circles around the DAM in deep cleaning and grooming and suction/airflow and filtration.
My DAM was a 1976 U6039-030 bagged self propelled model.
My 1st WT was a 2001 bagged self propelled model. My 2nd WT was a 2006 bagged self propelled model.

concepts groom deeper and out clean them all quadroflex agitation and direct air suction wins......
Hoover needs to bring back a lot of things for residential use! LOL
Convertible/Decade/Elite/Legacy/Concept/Innovation uprights.
Celebrity/Spirit/Dimension/Spectrum/PowerMax/PortaPower canisters.
Floor A Matic/FloorMax carpet shampooers/floor polishers.

I doubt Hoover will listen to my feedback. I doubt they will bring back these machines.

i think they are going forward with new product ...the tooling for those units was all sold off during the auction of north canton and has been converted into other things for other companies....saddly they had their time and hopefully the technology that made them great will live on....my giving them my collection insures that will happen....

Speaking of new product and tooling..............
The very first photo shows a bright green machine to the right and in the background. I bears the Hoover crest but I've never seen one. With the placement of the release handle on front and the onboard hose in the rear, it almost looks like a re-badged Sebo upright.

Yes, it does look like a SEBO.
There was a huge debate over this.

The WindTunnel has much better carpet cleaning than the DAM and has much better suction/airflow and has much better filtration than the DAM/Concept One/PowerMax/PowerDrive. However, The Concept One/PowerMax/PowerDrive has even better carpet cleaning than the WindTunnel. A 1980 Hoover Concept One would outclean a 1980 Eureka ESP. Does anybody agree with me?

Yep, the Windtunnel is far superior to the DAM. I've used both as daily drivers, and the Windtunnel has much stronger airflow and a better brush roll for a bypass system. The Concepts are fantastic. They really dig into the carpet and groom the fibers.

Well, I'LL agree with you.
Agreed, the D.A.M. was good, but, it had it's flaws. The Concept seemed to correct all of those flaws. It was a great vacuum, and, still is today. The BEST thing about a D.A.M., I'll admit, is the tool hookup. It is as SIMPLE as it gets. Here are the 2 cleaners side by side.

I heard that you are able to put a Concept One brushroll in a DAM. I heard that you are able to put a DAM brushroll in a Concept One.
I never thought of that.
Not sure. I THINK I have a NOS DAM brushroll hee somewhere. hmmmm I KNOW you can't buy a NEW brushroll for a Concept.

That is a HOOVER Lark
They made one in burgundy, as well. They were like apartment vacuums. They take a C bag. The Lark was also a form of an electrick stick vac. t's a nice little machine. It has tools which go in the front, kinda like a Kirby.

concept agitators were always quadroflex with the exception of a blue and tan u3315-070 made for kmart which had a unique agitator that looked like a dialamatic agitator because it had metal beater bars and one row of dialamatic brush strips....this was later replaced with the two brush or single row concept agitator later used in the concept strip down yet power surged u3341....in teal green....these agitators due to their pulley width would prohibit theit use in dial a matics and viceversa

Concept One U3315-070
I actually have this model and, quite frankly, I cannot see any difference between this model and those with the Quadraflex agitators as far as carpet cleaning performance is concerned. Both do an excellent job!

I still think a 1980 Hoover Concept One U3103 would outclean a 1980 Eureka ESP 5070A in terms of deep cleaning medium pile nylon plush carpeting with a pad underneath. Does anybody agree?
Of course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Silly boy. lolol
