I figured while I had the camera out taking pics of some vintage vacuums I found, might as well get pics of the newer stuff.
The Hoover Runabout and the Eureka Roto-Matic Power Team canister are two that I have been looking for. The Eureka Ultra I just love and The Electrolux power nozzel is special because it's the last of the one peice sheath models.

The Hoover is one that I had as a kid in the early 90's. It was my second vacuum and I still remember the day the K-mart add came out and I saw it and told my Mommy that I need it because it had a hose and was on sale for only $69.00. I would have been about 7 or 8 and my Hoover Elite 600 from 1989 had died ( broken fan but who that kind of thing could be fixed )
I used that Runabout twice a day for 6 or 7 years and thin it to died of broken fan. It wasn't long after that vacuums started comeing and going faster than you can imagine. Anyhow I found this on the curb and it looks like someone put it together and then set it on the curb. I'm not kidding when I say MINT. It has no dirt, no scratches, it still smells good and works perfectly. Nothing was wrong with it. Must have been a gift that someone never used and then tossed out after almost 20 years in the closet. The only blimish is the hoover lettering on the bag and that's my fault. It came off while I was washing it. It din't have dirt but I still wanted to wash it. The Eureka Ultra is a bit different that the other I have ( about 3 of them ) I have never seen one with the switch in the handel before. I have another red model but it has a multi colored bag and step on switch. The others are light blue & tan. | ||

This Eureka is a very pretty dark green. It is in great condition. I got it from Kenny Loveland.
I love these because they are what my Mom always used and I love the green color on this one. It's dated 1983 and the only thing that had been replaced was the hose but it looks close to the original. The PN1 Electrolux power nozzel goes to the first 1205 and blue L. I love this because it's is the last of the white long sheath and you just never find them anymore. I got it from Jason Huber becase I went on this huge Electrolux PN1 kick a while back.

I like that story, I would do that with my family but they are all like eww I don't want a used vacuum touching my carpet, that's gross I want a new one.
Some of them however like the used one when they find out it's free. lol My Mom hasn't really owned a vacuum in 20 years. I took hers away from her and kept it in my collection. I do the vacuuming for the most part. Well that's not true, I did but her a trashcan portable central vac for the kitchen that she loves and she did fall in love with my Vortech Force and thinks it's now hers when she does want to vacuum ( which is rare ) but I took all of her old ones away. | ||
