Before I started collecting vacuums, I would often browse vacuum web-sites for hours and learn about the company's products. Since at the time I had just learned to read, I would often rely on videos to learn information. The Hoover website was very good for videos, and I am currently trying to find these videos again to watch and archive. I am hoping someone here can help me.
The main video I am in search for is what I think is some sort of news report that included the Hoover Caddy Vac. I think I remember this video most clearly because my grandmother owned a Caddy Vac herself, but I thought a was a good video. Thankfully the Internet Archive has archived Hoover's storyboard version of this video, so you guys have something to look at. I have contacted Hoover and the Hoover Historical Center and they say they do not have this video in their archives. My hope is that I can find at least some of these videos to put in my vacuum archive. If anyone has one of these videos saved or knows where I can find a copy, it would be a big help. I am mostly interested in the Caddy Vac video and an advertisement for the Hoover Windtunnel canister. Here is the list of videos from the Hoover Website: web.archive.org/web/2002020317431... This is the Caddy Vac video: web.archive.org/web/2002020404270... Thanks for your help! Nathaniel |

What was it about the Soft n light that you did not like? I see that we were born only a few months apart, and I too had an Elite-style machine as a young child, but my opinion is different from yours.
I have always thought the Elite-style machines cleaned extremely well for what was available at the time and last quite awhile considering most of them sold for under $200. By the way, if anyone needs any information or publications on Hoovers made within the last 30 years, I can popularly find something. I have gigabytes of Hoover scans and vacuum ads I can post. |

Can you upload the scans, with the videos you got from the archived website on Hoover? |
