My favorite Convertible I have to say is a 1972 Model 1030, I just love the matching green hood and bag. | ||

Everyone Has Their Favorites
Here is mine. The 65 was the first in about 1957. The color was beautiful but the top warped. A childhood friend of mine's mother had a brand new 65 with the attachments. She also had a mid 50's Frigidaire washer and dryer. Wow. But they didn't perfect these machines until later in the series. Here is one of my favorites. The Model 69. As Charlie W. says - everyone should have a Model 69 :-)

Hoover Mine was the 1020. My parents replaced our old GE from 1948 when they got married with this model. It was such a breeze to use after that old GE. Great machine. My brother got it when they died. | ||

Guardsman U4125 U4193 33 I wish Hoover kept making Convertibles like the ones that used to be sold at K-mart, Montgomery Ward, Sears, etc. Why were the Convertibles discontinued if they clean very good? It Beats as it Sweeps as it Cleans

I love my U4395 as well, and I've always had a thing for the 1070 model. The 1070 was the first vacuum I can remember being fascinated with when I was young. I use my U4395 almost every day now! | ||

My fav is....
a Hoover Senior, because I have seen it in this movie called "Who's Minding The Store?" Love the Senior. Maybe it's a Convertible, I don't know. I think it's a Senior. Not my pic, it's James Brown's pic.

Would like to purchase late 1950's pink convertible Where can a 1950's pink convertible with lamp be purchased? I like that the convertibles are versatile and easy to push (unlike today's vacs). | ||

@vacuumkid47, Just so you know, the vacuum in 'Who's minding the store?' Was a Hoover Convertible model 69!
GrandCentral, you might prefer a newer model than a late 1950s convertible, the hoods on those early Convertibles were prone to warping and self-destructing under the heat of the motor. A 1960s model looks very similar, and is free from most of the defects that plagued early models. Your best bet might be eBay. Good luck!

Appearance wise Can someone tell me what the main difference is between a "Senior" and a "Junior" Hoover? Thank you in advance. | ||

I'm no expert on UK Hoovers, but I think the main difference between a Senior and a Junior is the orientation of the motor: a Senior has a motor with the fan facing down, like a classic American Hoover Convertible. The Junior has a motor with the fan facing forward...it's kind of like a mini compact version of a Kirby with the dust bag situated to one side of the handle.

My favorite Convertible is probably the model 70 in beautiful blue. These are some of my Hoover Convertibles. The rest are waiting to trip old people on my Staircase at home.

The 'seniors' are our "Convertibles". we called the juniors the apt vacuums. They are smaller, all plastic base, (before our Convertibles went that way), switch is not on the handles, etc. Tools are very different, too. Still ,you should have a few................. Think of how many you could line a staircase with !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
