Today I bought a Hoover Celebrity Quiet series for only $12.50!!! (it is not any bit quiet) not incredibly loud but not quiet either! it is in awesome condition and has all of the attachments (including the power nozzle and 2 sets of wands) it is a TOL model with 2 speeds, and it is two-tone green with a chrome top. I was amazed with the amount of suction it has even on low! (the only canister vacuum I have used that cleans as well as an upright! ) It has 2 minor problems though... 1. the cord rewinder only winds about a foot and then stops. 2. the motor has a sort of growl as it winds down (bearings?) sorry but I dont have any pics yet!

ok, I have another question. are the bags still available? what about the pre- motor filter(I picked most of the remains of it out of the bag chamber, And the rest of it blew out of the exhaust vents. ok another question... what years was this vacuum made? I dont have the model or serial number right now (the vacuum is actually in my car, I clean our church and I took it there to use and forgot to take it out of my car when I got home)

Bags are widely available, Type "H" to be exact. usually all and most vacuum / small town hardware stores sell these. if you cannot find them where you are located, Ebay is my favorite, cheap yet reliable |

Although I like the colour of the one in your link Charles and the mint green & chrome looks good. Charles, I am interested to know a little about the Hoover carpet/floor nozzle shown in your link as i had not seen that before - a nice update of the classic (well classic to me!) version. We did not have that Celebrity here just the Air-Ride and the one similar to Charles' but with the suction control panel on the front (3001?) - I always though this was an electrical control until I finally got one a few months ago to find it was a mechanical valve control - which was a surprise.

You might be lucky to find motor filters. However, you can make one from this cut-to-fit material. I've done that before. If yours is just the round disk that just sits on top of the motor, that will be quite easy. But my Celebrity requires a wrap around filter. I just used a shop vac filter and cut it to fit the housing. I've even toyed with cutting up one of those 3M HEPA bags and putting that over the motor, because the filtration on those models is TERRIBLE. But they are very powerful vacuum cleaners. The Qudraflex power nozzle works really well.
