Hi Tommy

What a line up , one of every model and colour...nice collection, do you have a favourite Hoover vacuum???

Would be interested to see pics of the "Tornado" vacs, are they Vorwork or the real Tornado`s??

Cheers, Mike

Hi Tommy,

I absolutely love your collection of Dial-A-Matics (convertibles). I love the dark green/mint green model, and also the battleship gray. It's too bad they weren't produced in those colors in this country. They should have had a longer production run. I like them way better than the Concept line.

Wow, what a great collection! It's always interesting to see overseas versions, love all the colors that we didn't seem to get over here, and those modern juniors are great looking machines!

thanx

thank you guys, that is only a part of my collection.
To Mike:
what you see behind the juniors are three tornado, true Tornado, not Vorwerk with Tornado name, that could be found in switzerland.
I will take some pictures of them the nex time I go there!
have a look at Tornado's web site, there's an english version:
I have the MAGIC ONE,1998, TO/7,1976; To/6,1965; TO/5, 1956.

Floor Tool on the Constellation

Tommy,
Amazing collection! Thanks for showing it to us. I was wondering about the floor tool on the Constellation. Is that a flip over design with one side for rugs and the other for bare floors?

 

[tommymilan]

yep of course. we've had that tool on constellation and classic since the early Seventies.

 

[vacuumkid3]

I could be wrong...

but I think you like Hoover!! That is an excellent collection!! I am so jealous!! ;-)

P.S. Where is Milano?? England??

 

[tommymilan]

Italy;-)ihihih

Floor Tool on Constellation

That is so cool!!! Wonder why they didn't use those in the USA? That would have been much better that the combination rug/floor tool that was standard on the Constellation and Portables through the 60's and 70's.

Tommy thanks again for taking the time to show us all your collection and the literature. It has been so interesting and as I said, brought back many memories.

Tommy...I am so impressed with your collection of Hoover cleaners. I particularly liked the Hoover Seniors. The colors that you had available to you are just out of sight nothing like what we had. Thank you for posting them. Hoover really had some great products in the 1970's!
