Favorite Hoover

I have always loved the whisper-quiet model 541. It is a great machine with just the right amount of "spit and polish". By the way, it is also a Henry Dreyfuss design, his first for Hoover.

All these photos make me wish I had my Hoover Senior again - I had one similar to the last photo here.

I think I've seen that model-it was model 6525C, wasn't it? Similar to my model 70, but with a toe-pedal switch and a 4-position carpet selector.

Hi,

New to the forum but not to the world of vacuums. There are many vacuums I like but as I collect Hoover Junior's they must be my favourite as far as far as looks go. I have a 1224, 1334 and a 1346a the last 2 are part way through a soft restore and I plan to expand the collection in the future. In terms of pure cleaning power I don't think you can beat DYSON. I have a DC04, DC05 and a DC25, all animal versions. The senior was a fantastic looking machine and the constalation was pure genius.

Love your U4011 joejoe.

That is a great yellow color and the hood looks almost perfect. Nice!

4011

Love that hood shape, we never got it here in SA so it may be one of those , love what you can't have but if any one has a spare hood like that I could purchase let me know

My favorite Hoover upright.....

There's several that would be a close tie for first, but one standout is the beautiful 1938 Hoover Model 26....

 

[Madrat]

That is a beauty.

Trying to pick a favorite Hoover upright.  So many to choose from.  Some from the 50s and 60s.

 

[compactelectra]

Some

From the 40s and 50s.

And

Some from the 30s and before.  You guys are stronger than me.  I sure as heck can't pick one favorite Hoover upright.

I Guess

The 69 is near the top.

@Indy Hoover
Love your 26 , I have the 262 220v version , I note only slight differences in the hood design. I just love the sound it makes from the brush bar hitting thick carpet, especially if that carpet is on a wooden floor

Update I recently discovered that I personally like any vintage hoover upright for completely different reasons.

My favorite has to be the 4101. I have 3 of this model. The one I use has the one feature I always wanted on it, a headlight! I had to add it myself. Green being my favorite color, I love the retro look of the machine. Also, my Penncrest that I lucked into.
