Where have you been? HOW have you been? What have you been up to? and. with whom? lolol I first saw/used a 29 when we were in school and I cleaned the community room in our convent. I thought that red was fascinating.
Let's talk this week. Lots to tell you.
John

I've been here, there, and everywhere! Sorry I've been out of the loop! As you know the 29 is one of my favorite models in the "sixty series" lineup. Let's catch up soon!

Congrats Sam! I have a 29 with a NOS color correct replacement bag, says DVC at the top of the Hoover name. I had this on my watch list and thought about emailing the seller to just send me the bag, but I hate when people "cannibalize" machines and put on ebay, better you getting it complete especially if you didn't have one, and couldn't have gone to a nicer guy! I have that complete series and was surprised to see that the handle was taller than the others, did Hoover feel people were getting shorter after that model? I've taken others advice and taken the staples out of a C bag and installed it, and use mine occasionally, didn't want to get dog hair in a brand new cloth bag.

Post model 29 handles

hooverboy81's profile picture
Hi vac-o-matic! The handle length shortened when Henry Dreyfuss revamped the sixty series with the model 63. He used his models, "Joe and Josephine", to get an average height of women (the people who all domestic appliances were marketed to) to make it more comfortable for them to use. As men, the pre 63 machines are most likely easier for us to use, but most likely not for many women. Attached is a link with further info on "Joe and Josephine", and photos from my copy of his 1955 book "Designing for People". He worked with Hoover from 1934 until roughly 1957 (his last major design being the 1957 model 65 Convertible). Enjoy! :) industrialdesignhistory.com/node/...
