Thrift store find pics.

[panasonicvac]

I'm getting rid of some photos I've been taking on my phone because the memory card is almost full. These are vacuums I've been finding at my local thrift store over the years as well as the ones that are at my local vacuum store that are sitting next to the dumpster (mainly broken that you can't find parts for it anymore).
None of these I don't own mainly because I'm not interested in these, smell bad, or has parts that are broken that are not worth fixing. But they still look interesting to me so just thought I take these and show them on here.
Some of these look cool but some I bet you may have already seen so here they are:

(I'm only uploading a few per day)


Here's the first one:
This one smelled really bad but if it didn't had dirt sensor on it, I would've gotton it because it was a childhood vacuum.

I don't know the model number on this one but I'm sure some of you guys might know what it is.
I'm not a huge vintage collector fan but there are some that I would like to get

Put it this way....

At least you have vacuums at your Thrift Stores, because here in NJ where I am I rarely ever find one vacuum. It has probably been well over 8 months since I have seen one

Just so you know, you would be wise to avoid that Hoover Turbopower 7000, as well as the other models that use that particular powerhead from the 90's. It uses a brushroll with metal endcaps, & it is NLA from Hoover. Not sure whether there is a aftermarket brushroll or not. I would be willing to bet that the reason it was donated was a worn-out brushroll.

That Hoover Caddy Vac in reply #3 would definitely be worth grabbing though!

This one didn't came with a power nozzle and it did smelled really bad.
(these first pics. I'm showing were taken a few years back and some of these I still have a good memory of reasoning why I didn't grad any of these)
And I failed to mention that white hoover in that other pic. was missing some parts in it before it got scrapped by the vacuum shop.

This one was too filthy. Not a huge fan of whirlwinds, I only like one whirlwind model and it's not this one.

Sears Kenmore indoor/outdoor wet dry vac. I don't know the model n. on this and neither I couldn't find it anywhere else on this.
This one was really filthy, scratched and beat up, and didn't come with a hose on this.

 

[panasonicvac]

This one was too filthy and smelly.

I seriously do prefer the older visions better.

 

[panasonicvac]

This one I think didn't work and I already have a shop vac.

Lots of machines to choose from!

But I think its best that you left those. None of those machines, with the exception of the Kenmore shop vac (never seen one) and MAYBE the Hoover Spirit (If it had the PN), are worth getting. The others are very common, mostly cheap vacuums. That F and G Eureka had a small motor, and wasn't very powerful. I'm sure that eventually, you'll find something really special at a thrift store.

Forgot I took these!!!

This is from where I picked up my Simplicity freedom and my Sharp twin energy commercial from a buddy of mine that is a Kirby salesman. He can take trade-ins not just Kirby but he can take any brand of vacuums. Then he'll just fix up all the other vacuums and sell them at a fair price, or throw out what is not worth fixing.
G4- already have one
Windtunnel- already have one
Bissell- piece of junk
Oreck- not a fan of Orecks
patriot- expensive to get
All the others in the trailor and that 1-CR- broken and not worth getting

That white Eureka is a model 1432A or 1432B.

Is that hoover turbo power 7000 still alive or gone? Those were some pretty good machines that had good suction. I've heard the brushrolls can be a problem.

Hoover

That was gone like 2 years ago. It ran fine but smelled pretty bad

 

[panasonicvac]

This one was missing a solution tank and I think a bearing on this was going bad. Not really a fan of floor scrubbers unfortunately.
This thing did reminded me of a Panasonic.

 

[panasonicvac]

I can't remember why I didn't grab this one. I regret now I should've gotten it and kept it

If I were you I would of gotten the G4 even if you already have one. I have 2 G4s,
2 Traditions, and 2 Classic 1CRs. Nice Thrift finds. Our Goodwills and Salvation Store rarely has any vacuums.
