I expanded my vacuum hunt to Sedalia and made a pit stop at House of Vacuums. The owner was real gracious and let me in his storage unit across from his shop. While in there I gasped when I saw a Hoover Innovation U5045. And I saw this Convertible-esque Hoover Encore model U4595 and took it. Since he hadn't gotten to inspecting and tweaking any possible bugs, he sold me both for $30. They both work great in cleaning, except on the Innovation the handle release is broke and won't stay standing up. Anybody know how to fix this? |

You are correct Alex, Hoover started that in 87 or 88 I believe. |

Alex You could be right- I must confess its a while since ive had one of these apart!, your best bet it to take the hood off and investigate ;). There are 2 screws, one under the belts and one in the dust channel opposite. Seamus |
