After having found the Bissell Multi-Vac in Goodwill in Port St. Lucie, I proceeded to Jensen Beach, to pick this Concept 1 up in a church thrift store. I paid exactly $20.00 for it, as opposed to $45.00 for the pretty two tone green one in the Community Church Thrift Store. When they lower the price, maybe. It has the off white plastic case with some age yellowing. A little hit with the 3M eraser, should put it to rights. The Hoover Concept 1 sticker on the lower part of the body is somewhat gouged also. This had been in the store for a few months before I decided to take the plunge.

Thanks! :-) I really miss the old days when Hoover made amazing products.. When I was taking this thing apart there was plastic.. but the brushroll is shiny silver steel and such! |

I like the concept of estate sales and rummage sales, but a couple of factors keep me out of them, even the ones I pass on my way somewhere. I still have stereo things in mine, a suitcase still packed from September '07, and kitchen things when my friend gets her new house. How does the Concept Two with the hand vac work?

Congratulations again, Mark. I pulled a really nice looking maroon late model Hoover off a neighbor's swale one day last year, they cut the cord off! Has a new bag, most of its on-board tools, and an extra belt. Might send it out if the shop doesn't want the world for possible repairs. I get in enough trouble without finding cast-offs, but I'm not too proud to trash pick if it's something I haven't seen elsewhere.
