Interesting. Looks as if Hoover utilized the same method of keeping the handle together as their canister wands. | ||

I think "Quik-Broom" is a bit of a clue... | ||

It's a stick vac. Hoover originally called this line of cleaners "Handivac", and then sometime in the '80s changed the name to "QuikBroom". I have a similar one to yours, but the nozzle broke on it, so I had to get an adapter from my parts supplier and replace the nozzle with a generic one.
I might be wrong, but I think these came out in the '60s or '70s and were made up until sometime in the early '90s.

I believe '80's was the swansong for this model, by the '90's the Hoover Quick broom had a reuseable dust cup more like the Regina. IIRC, there was even a Quick Broom in beige that had a full bag indicator. Also, wasn't there a Quick Broom with a powernozzle? That must have cleaned fairly well.

QuikBroom with Power Nozzle Hershel,
You're absolutely right ... there was a Hoover QuikBroom made sometime in the '80s, I think, that was equipped with a Powermatic nozzle (from the early Celebrity II line). Natch, it would have been the TOL model for its time. And, it seems to be something of a rarity because I haven't seen a single one ANYWHERE since they first came out!
BTW if I recall correctly the color scheme of the machine was white with blue trim.

The Cassette bags are right; I have a pack of bags for them somewhere and that always struck me as strange. | ||
