A big thank you to my good friend Chris (Hoover28) for this beautiful Citation! Couldn't ask for a better birthday gift!

High quality vacuums, in my book, one of the best uprights ever made, and I will put it up against anything made today for rug cleaning! |

Congratulations on finding your Hoover Citation. Looks to be in really good shape!
Hans - While I am sure the Hoover Citation & Hoover Convertible uprights do a admirable job cleaning carpets, a Royal back from the 80's or 90's would EASILY kick this Hoover's butt & do a way better job cleaning carpets. I'll go as far to say that even back in the 70's, Royal was making a better machine than Hoover did. Rob |

Thank you very much! I couldn't agree more! Hoover was at it's prime in the 50s! They are beautiful machines and clean like a dream. One can't beat (no pun intended) Hoover's triple action cleaning!

I have to agree, I love the 150 as well! It was "years ahead" then and remains an amazing cleaner today! Amazing air flow! Here's my 150 Special- rebuilt in 1950. I'm working on my all original 150 which is in SAD shape! Will post pics of it soon! Forgive the less than fantastic photo...I'm kind of awful with photography! :-/
