First dial a matic... Was grey and orange. No bag indicator ,no height adjustment, and the hose on the rear from the nozzle to the cleaner body was permanently attached. | ||

First Dial A Matic
Hans
I found your comments about the first DAM very interesting as I could never really undertsand why Hoover did not permamently attach the hose, if they had they would have been a good 20 years odd ahead of the competition, or more in this country at least. To me all it needed was a portable type coupling and some means of storing the hose on the machine and good to go. Does anyone have any pictures to share? Or know why it was changed? Al | ||

I didnt! Mean the attachment hose, I mean the short hose from the nozzle to the bottom of the bag chamber, the regular hose and attachments are the same as the newer ones. | ||

I'll try to take some updated/more detailed pictures of it within the next few days...
Yes, the pointer "dial" was different, on the first few models -- from what it was later on.

My apologies
to Hans, in my swift reading of your posting I am afraid I mis-read what you wrote.
But I still cannot understand why, with such a revolutionary design they did not come up with a permanently attached hose. Or could it be that, in the US & Canada with generally larger homes, the ability to quickly have a suction nozzle to hand to "do round the edges" was less significant as there was more chance of having a cannister to hand to supplement the upright than in this country? I never realised the hose to teh brushroll wasn't permanemntly attached LOLOL I will have to look again, I have 4 of them and thank fully they are reasonably accessable. And thanks Fred for the great pics. Was it only the DAM that had that ring (presumably for hanging it up) on the hose? In the UK I only ever saw them sold with a Hooverflex hose, but the German one I have has the US style hose, with the ring. Al | ||

One of the reasons.. I like the DAM is that it does NOT have onboard tools, to me they are in the way...but then im old fashioned..LOL! | ||
