A cordless Platinum linx and a bagged Tempo will be arriving shortly. Seeing my late cousin's Tempo in the closet had me thinking. She "listened to me" about a 2nd floor cleaner. I know it's plastic, but it IS a U.S design, it IS bagged, and, probably the best HOOVER for the money at the moment. I guess it's like a 28, if you collect, you SHOULD have one. WE'll see about that linx.

I bought a Tempo brand new in 2008 and it is now in the hands of my uncle. He sure is not the type to take care of things, but this Hoover has withstanded almost 5 years of abuse. Last I heard it was still running perfectly. Pretty impressive for an $80 plastic vacuum. But it is a Hoover of course. 

 

Please post some pictures when they arrive. It's not everyday you get to see two new Hoovers!

Well, they arrived!!

gottahaveahoove's profile picture
I haven't run them yet, but, they were at my door the other day. I'll post pics soon. I have numerous new in box vacuums, steamers, etc. A few ads and another "Hannah HOOVER" arrived too.I was bidding on a few other items, but "MY GOOD FRIEND TOM ANDERSON FROM NORTH CANTON OHIO" bid on them too. I'd rather he get them.

I think the Hoover Tempo is the best value under $100!

Great suction, great agitation, great filtration when paired with hepa bags. My Aunt has had one for 2 1/2 years, it was $85. It is still going strong, and the only thing that has needed replacing is the belt. I think it has been replaced 3-4 times now. My only complaints when using it is it's loud, and they cheapened the attachments. It doesn't have a stretch hose either. The only other upright that I would buy new under $100 would be a Eureka The Boss 1934b.

It'll be a fun room, no doubt.

gottahaveahoove's profile picture
In a perfect world, if I can, I'd like to take the 2nd cellar and 'finish' it off to house more vacuums. I'm currently cleaning out thew other 3. It's amazing what accumulates, isn't it?

I'll post pics soon.

Been a little busy. My cousin passed away (another). Her funeral is this Saturday. My closest aunt is having a biopsy, and, I'm working with a totally deaf student. He's great, but emotionally draining.
I know some of ye will enjoy seeing my pics. One came from "MY GOOD FRIEND, TOM ANDERSON FROM NORTH CANTON, OHIO". lolol

I'm so sorry to hear what you're going through. I can't imagine how hard it must be.  Don't worry about the pictures if you don't feel like it. 

 

Best wishes to you and your family, 

Nathaniel

Thanks, Nathaniel,

gottahaveahoove's profile picture
All will be ok. I learned that the funeral is NEXT Saturday. There's a service in Virginia, then final MAss, burial here. I'm glad they told me. I ironed my shirt and everything.
I'll def post pics. I'm trying to round up some other machines. If I can get to the vault cleaners, I'll do that too.
Now that I could bwe home, perhaps my phone stalker will call. I learned that one of them is from New Jersey.
John.

I have several Brushvacs and Helpmates

gottahaveahoove's profile picture
Some of each aree "new in box". These just "came out" of the upstairs linen closet. This is a Portapower, directly from TTI.Still IN the box. I got it from my good friend, "Frank", former colorist at HOOVER.

Since this was only run twice,

gottahaveahoove's profile picture
it should be considered "new". It came from my good friend, Rick. Hope you enjoyed a few items here. There are more, but I really can't get to them all at the moment. I know of a GUV, cannister, and an Elite Upright,as well as a steam mop and a cordless steam mop. Some are packed away safely.

I just got new batteries for the camera. Dealing with an awful headache right now
(as usual). I must get a blue anniversary Windtunnel. I never knew they made them in silver until I got mine... brand NEW for.... are you ready?/? $20.00 ALMOST DIED! It's on my list. Don't we all have a list?

I intentionally covered the sale price

gottahaveahoove's profile picture
on that Portapower because, I didn't want to be crass and brag. Suffice it to say, it was a great deal. So many of them have been. I was GIVEN a Windtunnel toy personally by Mr. Dick Pike. The Windtunnel was the last project he worked on at North Canton HOOVER. I have 2 of them. He was terribly kind.

Got the seal of approval from

my very close friend and HOOVER expert, Tom Anderson. I'll post more pics of others soon, if you'd like.

A few new "arrivals"..........pics soon.

gottahaveahoove's profile picture
I finally got the "blue" ANNIVERSARY Windtunnel (now, I have both), and a HOOVER "Air". I must get a photo ready of these others. They are all over the place and I'm getting ready for th convention!!!!!! I believe a few more "newbies" will be coming home to PA very soon. This brand new Windtunnel was dirt cheap... only peoblem was it is missing a dusting brush. Who cares, for THAT price? Also, I now have 2 little orange "bugs" cannisters. One was $19.00 (had a coupon) and one was $16.00 missing a wand. I've got tone of those. These sell for $59.00---$69.00 in the stores. I'm lucky, I suppose.

Thanks John:
I sure do hope we get be finally meet at the Vacuum Cleaner Museum one day soon. You and I have several friends in common, and they tell me great things about you and your collection.

Like so many of us, I too love Hoover - especially the very vintage models from the first decade of production.

You and I are only 9 days apart, and Taurus gets along very well with Gemini.

Remember: "However Clean - Hoover Cleaner"!!!
