Hey guys check out the find Ryan & I scored today. Shes's in rally good condition & is very clean inside the bag chamber & out.I have wanted a Hoover Quik Broom for some time. My grandmother used to have a version of this back in the 80's. The floor nozzle on these has always appealed to me. Anyone know the year this would have been produced? We looked & can't seem to find a serial number.
The model my grandma had was a harvest gold color. And I believe hers had a "cassette" bag system, which this does not have. I know I saw a thread on VL a few months back where someone had found this same model & color and was asking questions about it. Any info you guys have is much appreciated. Didn't think about it until a few minutes ago, but we found a green vac on St Patrick's day, LOL! :) |

Tyler thanks for the Hesco link. I really like the schematic view of all the machines.
Jason, I didn't even think about this as being a part of the pickles lineup. I had the pickles convertible at one point in the past. I shoulda kept it! I still have to get my mind wrapped around thinking of Hoovers in sets. Now I know the official color of the version my grandma had, "butterscotch". Not harvest gold as I originally called it. LOL |

Ray, thanks for the clarification on the color names. After my original post, Jason sent me scans of original Hoover advertisements. I noticed on those that the color names were "camel" & "oyster white".
Do you have a pic of yours to post? I don't think I have seen the honey beige & oyster white combination. |

This is my Hoover Quik Broom model S2087, a cassette-bag model with a 3-speed motor. |
