My other favorite is my good friends Spangler Suction Sweeper. An important machine, as it was the design basis for the Hoover model 0. |

As much as I dislike hoovers, I do like my two Juniors, one a 1334, the other a rebuilt-in-the-90's no-model 1334-lookalike, both work great where I need to use a small vac in a tight space... :) |

It's hard to pick just one, but I agree with Brandon about the 825. That is one classy cleaner, as is the 800 of the same era. Just fantastic design, build like brick ----houses, and solid, handsome performers. About the only thing they were NOT great at was above-the-floor cleaning.
I also LOVE the Model 63 DeLuxe and, of course, the original Convertible - the Model 65 pink lady. I also love the Model 1076, the lemon yellow beauty (right, John Long?) |

.......this should be a place of enjoyment and unity sharing experience and interest. I will always love the Hoover Convertible Specials I grew up with and all the Convertible models that have the same hood in the variety of colors, which I hope to find a nice one in a great color sometime. I bought my Hoover Convertible model U5063-930 for my birthday in March of 1998 and still like it very much. I trim and make the Platinum HEPA bags fit and it does a great cleaning job and does an excellent job fluffing the carpet with the new brushroll :)

Ok, time to admit that I'm drooling over John's Convertible collection with an envious gleam in my eye! But seriously, I am happy to see that they are in the hands of someone who truly appreciates them. Here are a few more of mine. |

I have always loved the whisper-quiet model 541. It is a great machine with just the right amount of "spit and polish". By the way, it is also a Henry Dreyfuss design, his first for Hoover. |

I think I've seen that model-it was model 6525C, wasn't it? Similar to my model 70, but with a toe-pedal switch and a 4-position carpet selector. |

My 425 came to me, along with the late Stan Kann's entire collection of Vacuums. There were a few that had been pilfered between the time Stan's passed away and the time the machines were placed in The Vacuum Cleaner Museum in Saint James, Missouri. Whom ever swiped Stan's most valuable machines, missed this one. With the Silver Jubilee outer bag, this was one of Stan's's pride and joy's.

Gosh! How can you choose just one?!?! I have so many that I like! My current ones I use are a lavender model 33, and the cheerful U4127! But I also love my more vintage models too!!!

In all seriousness, mine is the U4003. Mostly because it is the only Hoover upright I own!
