Glam Hoovers The Model 305 was made from 1939 to 1941, and then again briefly after the war ended in 1945, I believe

Glam Hoovers Even the old 28 has somewhat decent suction with the cleaning tools - not great, but better than some rear conversion models...

Indeed..... These were some well made and well designed vacuum cleaners. It's hard to believe that the 305 is almost 70 years old and still has amazing cleaning ability! | ||

Hey, Scott and Charles
The Model 305 actually showed up in about late 1938 and really picked up steam in 1939. It definitely was Hoover's "budget model", often advertised for $49.50 "and your old cleaner". It would be the last Hoover to not have side conversion, a nifty item designed by Henry Dreyfuss, beginning with the Model 27, a model rare as hen's teeth, due to, you are right...its short production run. And yes, the Model 28 was one very popular vacuum. They are still showing up as used machines today. JL

side conversion.... I might be mistaken (so please point it out), but I think the side conversion started earlier than the 27. I know the 26 had it, and I'm pretty sure that the 25 and the 150 had it too. Anyone know for sure? | ||

150 I wasn't there at the time, but I am certain that I've read that the 150 was the first to offer side conversion. Chris. | ||

Beautiful Hoovers, Scott!
And you're right, the side conversion made its first appearance on the model 25 and 150. When the 305 began production, it was the economy model that sold next to the top of the line 60 and the mid-priced 26. It might have also been offered next to the 61 and 27 for a short period after the war, but I'm not certain. Anyway, they're all beautiful machines, especially with the original bags. Jeff | ||
