WELCOME, Mike!
You'll find that I only collect Hoover products....MANY of them, over 400. They DO multiply, like bunnies.
However, I DO support those who collect 'other' makes, contrary to my reputation. You'll find this to be a great place to share, learn, enjoy, etc.. everything in the 'vacuum world'. Someone knows something, many know a lot, some know a little about a lot, etc... and some may know nothing, or next to nothing. So, relax, enjoy, share, post pics. If there's a part you need, a vac you want, a repair you want to learn, this is the place for you. Welcome to the sandbox! John , Voice pres of The V.C.C.C. | ||

I think the above narrative lends further credence to my assertion that all those little circuit boards are actually little more than self-destruct mechanisms to force hapless customers to toss their "un-repairable" vacuums and buy more short-lived plasti-junk to replace them, thus ensuring a steadier revenue stream for manufacturers. I never used to consider myself a Luddite but I find my self leaning that way more and more as I get older. This is especially in the area of home appliances, where I am fully convinced that lower tech is, more often than not, better tech.

lower tech is better I think less features are sometimes better as well. This is one reason why I'm not a fan of controls in the handle of the hose, it's just more components to fail. I don't even think a motor speed control is needed, if you want less suction, open the relief valve, it's low tech but it works, and isn't likely to fail. | ||
