The last Hoover Convertible cleaner!!
You're talking about the Hoover RS Convertible. It was a non-headlight model with burgundy/ brownish hood on a white plastic base. The bag was cloth.
Here is a link to an old Youtube video of a friend of mine that is a collector in Florida. The significance of the RS Convertible U4597 is that it was the last of the Convertibles for the Residential line! CLICK HERE TO GO TO Durango159's LINK | ||

Nice. Thank you Rob for the response. I finished cleaning it up this morning with the intent to sell it. It Cleaned up nicely and I replaced the belt. I did not launder the bag though. I will take some pictures this weekend and see if there is any interest. Thanks. Garry | ||

Hello All,
I decided that this should be add to this thread as it is where it belongs. So a few days ago I found a Hoover Model 1170 Dial-A-Matic with Automatic Power Drive. I liked it and because I had worked on the non-power drive models. I also bought a Royal Junior Model 81 because I liked it. Today I had to go to DMV pay for the renewal. I decided I would stop at Saint Vincent De Paul on my way back home. They had a bunch of plastic style uprights and among the was a really nice looking Hoover with a good looking bag. So this Hoover turns out to be a Hoover RS Model U4597. This means nothing to me so when I get home I decide to look it up on the Internet and on Yahoo it comes up with "Historical Significance of the Hoover U4597 RS? - Vacuumland". So in my mind I am thinking yah sure some Historical Significance for a plastic Hoover. So I go to the Thread and well there is as it was the last Convertible. So darn now I have to keep it LOL. I was going to give it to a person that was in need of a good vacuum. Now I do have a good Kenmore Progressive with Direct Drive that I replace the power cord on and it did clean up nicely. I am just thankful it is not a Hoover as I probably would not want to part with it if it was. I do need to say that I am unable to use all but 3 vacuums as I do not have carpeting in my home. If you squint really hard it might look like a Hoover 28, well squint really really hard and use your imagination. Thanks for looking, Pete | ||
