The Guardsman FINALLY Came!!

Nice looking Hoover. How does the quality of the plastic compare to the 80's Convertibles?
It's sad to see the last of the "real" Hoovers now come from China.

Sanimatic

I find that my Sanitaire commercial vacs are more gentle on the carpet yet clean much better than residential/plastivacs. the "homestyle" vacuums often tend to have very hard bristles while my Sanitaires have softer but firm bristles that are nicer to the carpet. The same applies to my new Guardsman.

Constellation

The plastic quality is not too thrilling, it's alright - doesn't seem like it'll break in 2 seconds, but it surely doesn't seem nearly as good as the originals and definitely not as good as my Sanitaire S634.

wow!

What a marvellous machine! I love the design. And it looks like it was never used! What is a Decade 80 (it must be in the same range if I got you guys right)?

This one here is fabulous, can it be had in 220 V as well? Would LOVE to have one! I am thrilled.

Congrats, Jonathan! What a find!

Calling TTI, calling TTI WAKE UP TTI......

Hoover Gaurdsman

I recently bought one of these from my old Hoover dealer in California. It is okay and seems to do a great job. I use it at the church when I clean. I was rather dissapointed though to see it had no beater bars. As soon as I find a new agitator with beater bars I am going to put it in the Gaurdsman. Other than that it seems like a good vacuum...
