Had a good day today at the Value Village! The Hoover model number is U4073. Anybody know when this orange model was made?

the underside. I must say I was surprized that this had a metal base.

The other find
is a "Sears Best" canister. Wood grain top and all! So I'm fairly sure that the canister is a Whrilpool, but is the powerhead as well?
A couple of weeks ago I got my first Wirlpool/Sears canister, and the powerhead was quite different!

Looks like the
powerhead lens in missing!
The inside is neat! All the tools right there.

Are you supposed to
lift the tool caddy out when you use this vacuum?
The "filter" has completly deteriorated. What could I use in case there is ever a bag break?

no that..
Kenmore was made by Whirlpool. it was produced and featured in catalogs in 1980. than shortly after that they than switched to Panasonic.
never the less its still a very nice machine. i have a MINT 1979 model with the same wood grain pattern but in a two tone blue instead of cream.
very good scores!

But Terry also a foot note..
The whole machine at this point (1980) was completely Whirlpool including the power head. But when Kenmore changed production to Panasonic Whirlpool than sold Panasonic the rights to that power head (if you might recall thats a sightly different style power mate than what was used most of the 70's). That power head was than sold on the first of the white new rounded style canisters in the mid 80's.
Im including a pic of the earlier power head so yall can note the similarities and differences . One is from 1974, the blue from 1978. They were both on Sears best machines

That hoover is awesome. It's a part of the 1976 Hoover condiment line up. In this line up Hoover has four Convertibles ( mustard,mayo,pickles,and ketchup. Your is the ketchup model. All models were higher end,well mustard and mayo were very high end and pickles and ketchup were mid range, no headlight and small things like that were about the only difference.
I believe the 4063 was mustard the 4059 was mayo I forget the others. The ones here had the same bag pattern but with a wide top. We do have a model around the same time that was a lower end square hood with the same color that took that same narrow top bag.

Were both vacuums in the same store? The Kenmore is my favourite. It looks like it would have been expensive at the time.
Guy, any chance of seeing more of your house? It looks like you have some pretty cool stuff. I like the phone way in the back. I was trying to figure out what your furniture looks like.

Thanks all for your comments...
So it is a Whirlpool!
Were the Hoovers actually referred to as condiments?

Sears Best
Seeing that "Sears Best" logo brings back memories of the prestige that that mark carried. Very cool to see these vacuums in your collection. I drooled over the Sears catalog for too many of my formative years--and mostly in the vacuum section. Ahem. Any more of that and I'll need to post in the new section!
