Unique Looking Vacuum Delivery

[gj3476]

Hey everybody, so earlier today I was able to catch the delivery truck on time to get my package so I can show y’all my new vintage vacuum to my collection! Mostly I’ve been getting uprights, this time is a canister vacuum! And I find these pretty interesting and I’ve been wanting one of these for a while, now I finally got one! Feast your eyes on this one!

Looks like Sunday morning hassle! All of those newspapers!

We’re getting close, looks familiar?

Is it supposed to be a vacuum or a suitcase or both?

Let's see the inside of that Hoover Portable

 

[gj3476]

Pretty much yes! This here is a Hoover Slimline model 2017 canister vacuum. I got this on eBay for $39 as my best offer plus a $21 shipping, when I saw this I noticed there was like 1 watcher or 2 watching this vacuum so I couldn’t pass it up at all it looks so nice and in great looking condition! This one I believe is supposed to be a slim version of the Hoover Portable ( which I love to get my hands on soon) and probably in a little cheap price too back then. Not sure what year this model was made in but maybe one of you probably knows but I’m guessing around late 60’s or early 70’s.

It even came with the original hose. Plus a multi purpose upholstery brush but I already got one so maybe I can sell it to someone that wants one.

Here’s the inside of the bag compartment, nice and clean looking, it also has a tool caddy for the upholstery brush and crevice tool. I even found out it uses the same motor as the Dial a Matic does too!

Later that same day I paid for the Slimline, I stopped by at a local vac shop and got type J bags since it didn’t came with bags.

Slimline with hose attached.

Check this out! Amazing strong suction!!

I have various Hoover attachments that will work perfectly great with the Slimline too!

From looking at the sides it reminds me of a vintage car!

Lovely close up of the old Hoover logo!

The blower port, no filter. The model stamp and the serial number is 560449.

Small green Hoover collection! I think this was sold along with the Dial a Matic 1149. All I need is a Convertible 1020 or 1030 or what the heck? How bout both?! I love this photo!

These are the green Hoovers I love to make a collection out of!

Very cool, Gabriel!

I love the color of that Slimline!
And it does look great with your DAM!
I'm pretty sure I looked at that Slimline a couple of times on eBay.
Glad you got it!

I have a sort of turquoisey Portable, and might be getting a Dial-a-Matic in that same color.
I wish old vacuums weren't so much fun.
I don't have any more room!
