But we have the new Hoover Deluxe Cleaner.....

The Junior Deluxe- with bags you can use again and again- as anyone thats worked in repairs knows some people take this to the extreme lol

Classy British adverts! I sent Ian a British Constellation ad on one of his threads. Whoever is posting these on YouTube, keep 'em coming!

Love the commercials, guys. I wish that great machines like this were still available. Who would not buy a Hoover "DeLuxe"? What a great machine. How did the clip on tools work on the Junior Deluxe? Was it simply front conversion or some other special port? Great thread!

Hey Tom

The Junior Deluxe was a stripped down version of the Starlight lacking the headlight and bag full indicator(which worked in the same way as the DAM/Convertible, the tools are standard front conversion - the 1st UK model to use a pan converter.

It came in several colours, the yellow being the most eyecatching!

Take a young couple....

The grit is pretty evil looking dont ya think lol!

Thanks Seamus! Hoover went to the pan converter on just about everything here in the US around 1977. This is where I lose interest because it began the era of some very loud and bland vacuums from North Canton. Great videos!

Fantastic adverts - thanks for posting these guys.

Those are super cool Fred, now if we could only find some American versions of 1950's vacuum television commercials. I have about 15 hours of vintage TV commercials from the 50's and 60's and in all that I only had one vacuum commercial (GE "drag around tragedy"). I've found plenty of other commercials for major appliances, just not vacuums :(. I wonder why? Maybe the vacuum cleaner was a more mature product by the time television started to become popular in the late 40's thru the 50's, but I do find a lot of print ads in 50s magazines for vacuums so that doesn't quite add up. I'm still sure there must be others out there somewhere.

Glad everyone seems to likey! There are more, but I've just moved, and have to go to my mum's to use the 'net for now, so... watch this space!

Si

Thought you were moving end of jan ?. Think we need a chat to catch up lol !;-)

I love the one with the Constellation. I miss the Black and white tv's from back then
