Welcome to VACUUMLAND! Free of dust bunnies since 2006!
You do mean the brand HOOVER, right? Or are you using the British term for vacuum cleaners in general?
Glad to see another HOOVER fan out there, you'd get along greatly with John Long (gottahaveaHOOVER is his username)! He's the biggest HOOVER collector in the east (if not the continental United States!). I'm a big fan of HOOVERS, too, only my household has more than strictly Hoover branded cleaners (unlike John's, except for the TWO Kirbys he keeps in the cellar!)!;? |

Welcome! What's first on your hit list? Are you a strip it down and good as new guy or just replace the belt and have fun? |

Nobody Gets The Dirt Like Hoover, Nobody!!
Welcome Aboard!! It's always nice to welcome a new face. Tons of information to find. I love Hoovers, mostly from 70's to 90's!

. Hello, and welcome! I like Hoovers as well, but my biggest favorites are Electrolux and Kirby. I did see quite a few Hoovers when growing up but the vast majority of families in our area had Electroluxes and Kirbys. My favorite Hoovers are the 700, 825, 925, 27, 28, 150, the Duster, the 913 & 918 commercial models, the 64 Citation, and the later floating Constellations -- especially the turquoise 454 and the tilted 843 (both the gold and yellow versions but I kinda favor the yellow one -- it's a more fun color!) The models I currently have are 102, 105, 541, 700, 475, 918 (two of them, both slightly different), 454, 843, Celebrity QS, 4403, Decade 800, and a Bag Cleaner. Someday I'd love to find another 825, 925 and 150. I've always regretted letting them go although I had to do so at the time. Here (in no particular order) are some photos of my Hoovers, some of which I no longer have. |
