Can someone give me info on the Hoover Celebrity models over their production years?

Newest thrift store find

I found this model S3005 for 6 bucks, it runs good but no hose or tools. The cashier thought it was a hair drier!
It seems like Hoover made several changes to these over the years. I also have two yellow ones(same model number), one has one cord hook like this one; the other has two hooks. Also the orange one has the old style plug, while both yellow ones have the newer square plug.
Anybody have more info on the celebrities? I would love to find out more too.
Nicholas

And interestingly, some of the latest QS models had newer attachments like the Spirit and Dimension would use.
