Thusday, as I made my usual weekly haunts  in Philly, I saw a red "Can" DD.  It was intact,  BUT, attached to the end of the cheapy black hose was a HOOVER Portapower hose with tools!.  It was worth it indeed.   ( and you want a good hose) So,  SOON, I'll be posting  all of my non-HOOVER items,  including a Sunbeam mixer, Presto coffeemaker,  Dormeyer mixer, DD toy,  LOTS of bags (huge package of Oreck bags), and various tools.  I'll also list the 3 Kirby(s). Lots to clear out.  This DD "can" fits in the contemporary forum,  the POrtapower hose doesn't.

John, did you know

Presto used to make Hoover's percolators?  Had them.  Cover up the names set them side by side, and couldn't tell them apart.

I'm not sure, but I think that the Hoover electric frying pan was made by Sunbeam. They look a lot alike too. Great appliances regardless of whether they have the Hoover name or Presto/Sunbeam name on them. A lot better than what you can get today. Oops, sorry. I didn't mean to take this off topic. Now, back to our regularly scheduled program, already in progress! :-)

I agree with you whole heartedly. God bless Hoover/Presto/Sunbeam. I know I've been giving you grief lately about Hoover, but in reality, I like Hoover products too. There, I'm out of the closet! :-)
