I brought home a decent haul after visiting my friend Ken Hedrick in Atlanta today. We have here: a Hoover Commercial U7073 (I know it needs a bag lol), a MinuteMan V14 PRO, a pink Hoover Convertible, and a dark red plastic based Hoover Convertible (it's still in the car lol). The Hoover Commercial has already been tested (at my roommate's church, it got a thorough "Hoovering") and it runs like it's new, headlight & all. The MinuteMan is an awesome vacuum too, it's actually my only vacuum with onboard attachements lol.

The Hoover 913, 918, and U7037 are my favorite of the Hoovers, I have 2 extremely nice 913s that I bought from my friend Owen. Yours is definitely U7037, the bumper gives it away.
I have only seen one of those Minuteman type vacuums in person once. It was in our store, but I don't remember working on it, so I don't really have much experience with them. I guess I didn't pay much attention because both me and my boss didn't think they wanted to keep the machine, so I figured I'd get all the time I wanted with it once it became mine, which did happen, oh well... |

Austin, those are some great gifts there! Hey just wondering, have you tried out the Minuteman upright yet? I was thinking of buying one to use as a daily driver upright, it is sold by JohnnyVac here in Canada, rebranded as the JohnnyVac JV14. It is made by Technica in Italy, & this same powerhead was formerly used on the Vortech Force canisters by Ghibli. What's the suction like on the Minuteman, & how well does it groom the carpets....does the brushroll do well on medium & high pile carpets as well as low pile?

Here's a few pics of my Model 68 that I found at an estate sale a couple of years ago along with a huge box of dust bags for $5.00. I was gifted the box of attachments this past Memorial Day weekend by Fred Stachnik & Robert Seger. The white attachments are original Hoovers, and the black ones are generics that I found locally. |
