I have a Hoover Savvy and I am willing to sell it. However it is little messed up. The bottom cord hook is broke and the handle realease is broke but it does run and cleans really good. Give me a price if you want it. If not that's fine. I will try to post photos of it as soon as I can.

Oh and would you take a trade? I have a couple vacs i could trade away. I have a green Kenmore Whispertone( the newer style ) I also have a bissell PowerForce turbo bagless that i refurbed about 2 weeks ago. Its just dusty from storage. I also have Dirt Devil Vision Cyclonic. No clue if it works. BUt its a good beater vac if it does. You will just need to buy a hose or use a dif hose. Thanks this would work out better for me as im broke. Just email me at sharkcar1998@gmail.com and we can work out the details.

Childhood favorites

My parents had one of the old Electroluxes, with the slides on the side. i liked it.

Even more fun was their Hoover Constellation. it was orange, and looked like a sputnik.

My Grossen had one of the Electrolux XXX with the glides.  Which was kind of funny because Grossen was afraid of electricity, and too cheap to use it anyway.  I think my Aunt took it to her house when Grossy passed away.

 

As for the Connie--I want one.  A neighbor lady had one when I was a kid.  She was a deaf lady, probably why I got interested in audiology due to my early memories of her.  My Mom would visit with her by writing and passing notes.  I didn't read or write then, and couldn't get her to understand "I want to play with your vacuum."

 

Another memory, my aunt had a Green Hoover Portable.  I was in love.  She would not let me use it.  You always want what you can't have.  I still want that vacuum all these years later.

A Kirby 510-511-a childhood vacuum I remembered-or a Sears Kenmore pink Wheelbarrow canister from 1958 or so-my Stepmom had one.Liked that machine along with the Kirby-enjoyed using them to clean my room!

I don't want my childhood vacs.  Some, especially the Kirbys with head light, gave me night mares.

 

I want my teen years vacs, and, thinking about it, I have all of them.  Some I have doubles.

"Can't sleep the Kirby will eat me."

Sorry, couldn't resist.  We do that with my  grown niece.  "Can't sleep the Clowns will eat me."  Almost 30, still freaks her out.

Harley  !  Don't DO THAT  !

 

Now I have to sleep with a sledge hammer under my bed and be prepared to smash wild Kirbys (Jaws) that roam around at night.
