What is your favorite Vintage Hoover?

[2011hoover700]

@dysonman1 I was wondering how much that 1910 hoover senior weighs. One of my listed dream machines is either a hoover model 0 or something similar actually because of the machines weight, that is my personal reason for wanting such machine.
Thank you very much for the info.

Ah! I learned something new today!!

I used to tell my kids that... "It was worth getting up today,  wasn't it"?  Thanks!

the next I'm going to get

This is the next vac I'm going to get in some days but I do not know what model it is.
I'm getting it for almost nothing.

Have a nice Easter

The 1910 Senior weighs about 65 pounds. A lot of that is due to the sand casting of the aluminum housing, very thick walls. Most women who see this at The Vacuum Cleaner Museum in St. James, Missouri cannot pick it up.

Oh come on, need you ask?

I really need to take another picture though as this one is about 3 years old...

Ranger is difficult to find in France.
Each time I see one for sale, it is in bad condition.
Would like to find a pink senior 652, for fun.

When some friends call me, they say: "Allô, may I speak to Mrs Doubtfire please ?"

Found a large service book for maintenance.
Models from 1965 to 1970 (washing machines, vacuums, polishers, etc...)

I thought I'd mention that my personal favorite vacuum period let alone my favorite vintage hoover is my model 750.
Here it is.

 

[panasonicvac]

Mine would be this Hoover Concept Two with Power Drive that used to be my aunt's but is now mine.

 

[hoover300]

Nice! What is going on with the headlight and it's wiring?

 

[hoover300]

I mean on the 750 not the Concept 2.
Nice Concept btw!

 

[texbodemer]

Mine is the Hoover 26 I found in a thrift shop. It's non-original, but I love it!

 

[thevacomaticiec]

Hoover celebrity IV Power matic blue on blue with beat as it sweaps as it lean power head powerm atic air ride body wiht 3 caster on the bottom .

 

[2011hoover700]

Btw my 750 the original hedlite bumper perished and the wiring is good just not original as I have yet to find some original wiring.

 

[eurekaprince]

For me it would be the British-made Hoover Harlequin canister/cylinder vac. At some point, these were on sale in Canada, and when I saw them in newspaper advertisements, I thought it was such a cool vacuum - especially the nifty metal wire tool caddy!!!

For me…

Of a vintage Hoover…it would have to be a dial a matic. My play school teacher had one. It was the early 70s and it seemed so cool to me as my Mom only had the Electrolux model L. Since then I’ve realized it was not a “dirty fan” machine and really became the model for what basic upright vacuums are today. They say the best is often imitated! My Brother had one for some time he got somewhere…a later version with power drive. He liked it for the rugs but never had a lot of rugs so I think he finally deleted it as he also has an Electrolux Silverado which was left with the house when they bought the place.
