which is a better cleaner??

I will agree!

That a Windtunnel IS powerful, I personally just dont want anything that new, I bought a Decade 80 last week, now normally that would be wayyy too new for me, but it really was like new, so I got it, seems to me like a souped up Convertible, I love the early Dial A Matics, probably..IMHO, the most industry changing design since the Hoover O and the first Electrolux, the DAM set the stage for all the new vacs today.

I have 4 65s

2 gold, 2 pink. They STILL work. I have 4 28s They still work. Numerous Hoover cleaners have been cleaning an 11 room house here,for dacades, with no problems. Do we all want an old shake out bag? I doubt it. Some like "C" bags, others like top fill. It's been proven again and again: SERVICE your Convertible and you can get a lifetime of SERVICE out of it. The SAME can be said about your Kirbys, Royals,and other species. (Surprised I'd add that, huh?(
I believe that tons of owner's manuals (HOOVER and others) say, specifically: don't use your vacuum to pick up sharp object, coins, rocks, etc.......... let's all turn to our manuals now.

Best Hoover bag..

To my mind, was the Handisac, I use them in almost every upright, they filter great, and dont seem to plug up, I took one and cut it into and made a flat filter for a Silver King....it works so much better than the original paper filter you just wouldnt believe it, I have also altered them to use in most vintage tank cleaners with equally good results, a few years ago I bought all the old bags a old hardware store had, and that meant a whole bunch of genuine Handisacs, as well as a few Hoover tank bags that are red and of a similar material.

Students, you'll find your copy of the Convertible manual under your desk!

...and, if you all don't have one,

push your desks together and look on with your neighbor.
