I have all three of my mothers vacuums that she bought in her lifetime.1. Hoover Model 28 with all the attachments 2. Kirby model 561 and all the attachments (she didn't use that one very long said it was to heavy) 3. Electrolux model automatic G. Then after these I kept giving her my old Electroluxs whenever I would get a new one..1. Electrolux Super J 2. Electrolux Silverado 3. Electrolux Renaissance..She was a Electrolux Lady most all of her years starting with the Automatic G....
I have the Hoover Constellation that belonged to my Grandma Wood, along with it's original hose. Many (if not all) of the attachments have gone missing, however. The machine itself is still running just like it did the day she and Grandpa bought it.
I also have Grandma's Hoover 28 -- even though it's not the EXACT one that she had. I had that one for a while, foolishly got rid of it -- and then years later found the one that I presently have in a local thrift store that wasn't even in business when I got rid of Grandma's cleaner!
I've included here a link to a video of my 28 that I posted on YouTube:
