Hi,

I'm a college student doing a project on vacuum cleaners from 1926, and I need to find out how much it would cost to purchase one today. I don't need one that's for sale—I just need to know how much it would cost. Could anyone help me out?

Thanks!

Sabrina

Well in 1926 a new Hoover 700 cost $75. In today's money, that be about $975 according to www.measuringworth.com....

Of course, bear in mind that Hoover was a deluxe vacuum and there were cheaper machines as well as factory rebuilt machines available.

Hope that helps!
