What was the main differences between the Citation and the Convertible?
Performance on the floor and above? Features? Tools?
Thanks, Chan

Convertible. The handle bale changed, the tools went in the back of the Convertible. The motor sounds basically the same. The top of the bag slimmed down shortly after Convertible arrived on the scene. It's a great vacuum.

Is that a privately labeled Dial-A-Matic I see in the picture? I'd love to hear more about it.

It was made by HOOVER for JC Penney. The tools, etc, are identical.

Thank you for the info. Wonder how many different privately labeled Dial-A-Matics there were?

I know there was one made for Montgomery Ward, the catalog #870, which was a self-propelled model finished in a bright gold and off-white color scheme. It was tested and recommended by Consumer Reports in 1976, along with the similar Hoover Dial-A-Matic U6039.
