I now have 6 RANGERS. That might b enough. I appreciate them, and, they have grown on me. The first time I ever saw one, I ALMOST DIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! right there on the floor. (In my aunt's house. MUST be careful about that) But, they grew on me. I don't really 'need' anymore, as I have a nice selection of them. Now, a Senior, etc.. I'd make room. |

Shining examples of the elegantly functional designs Hoover was known for, from the brilliant mind of industrial designer Richard Wareham. May there be many more beats, sweeps and cleans in their future! |

Oh, that's exciting!! You may be able to try my Celebrity by then as well!! I have acquired an actual Celebrity IV Elite power nozzle, I have a neck arriving for it in the mail very shortly and then I'll post photos. Joel is extremely busy but claims the Celebity suction unit is doing very well. He found a quadraflex power head to go with it that he's working on. I'll use that Quadraflex head for a Dimension 1000 canister that I acquired the two are the proper mates-- same color and would be proper matched, so I'm quite eager and excited for when that's ready!!
I've been on a DESPERATE search for a decent hose for the Dimension 1000 though. So if you know anyone that may I've one in decent shape and material== I'M QUITE INTERESTED AND THE WALLET IS OPEN!!!! Thanks and hope all is well with you. Looking forward to trying some vacs. I'd also like to try one of your Decade 800's, its been quite a while since I've used one of those and would be a neat comparison to my Decade 80 I think!! hahaha!! Happy Holidays to happy vacuuming to all!! |

My mom has the Gold U4007. But does she use it? No, my mother and sister use an ORECK instead. Hopefully, my sister will move out soon and take the Oreck with her. Nothing against Oreck but the Convertible is a better cleaner. My mother received a Convertible at her wedding shower and bought a new one at Sears in the early 90’s. She should know better.

I actually have this model and, quite frankly, I cannot see any difference between this model and those with the Quadraflex agitators as far as carpet cleaning performance is concerned. Both do an excellent job! |

I still think a 1980 Hoover Concept One U3103 would outclean a 1980 Eureka ESP 5070A in terms of deep cleaning medium pile nylon plush carpeting with a pad underneath. Does anybody agree? |

The 1978 Eureka ESP was Eureka's answer to the 1978 Hoover Concept One. Am I correct? |

To answer your question, the Eureka ESP was never in direct competition with the Hoover Concept. In the early 1980s, Eureka released the Precision to directly compete with the Concept. It was self-propelled, had a cord reel, and used the VG II with a 7amp motor. I own both the Hoover and Eureka, and the Hoover is much easier to use and cleans significantly better.

IMHO, Hoover made a huge mistake by discontinuing the Celebrity/Electronic 1000/Spirit/Dimension 1000 PN canisters! IMHO, Those models were Hoover's best canisters ever! |

hoover only was responding to the complaints of women that the vacuums were too heavy to lug around and to heavy to carry.....saddly hoover is consumer driven and the cleaners slipped through the cracks |
