I must admit, I have a wonderful VacuMaid central vacuum and use it daily. I have every assortment of powernozzles and hoses to go along. I've just rebuilt a Kirby Sanitronic Dual 50 and think it's the "cat's meow." But!! I vacuumed just now for an hour with my Hoover Convertible 1010, a gift from Marty Rocha and then I ripped open the bag!
I can't believe how much fine dirt, granulaire, sandy, carpet back crud there was! I have at least 3 cups of stuff from cleaning 1800 sq. ft. of carpeting. No pets, just two men who don't wear shoes in the house! And my carpets are cleaned yearly.
Hoover always had it's "motto" on the machines, but did it not in 60-80's adverts also say it was the machine that "cleaned-up" where others left off? Tell me I'm right!
Thanks!
Greg Bushman Luxflairguy

Some I know of...

In the early 70's it was: "Helping you has made us a household word"

About 1975 or so it was: "Insist on Hoover"

And later in the 70's it was "America trusts Hoover to Take good Care of its Homes"


PS - Greg thanks for the ISE!!!

In the 90s it was Deep Down You Want Hoover and in the 20s-60s it was It Beats as It Sweeps as It Cleans

"Let Hoover do the homework" I think was what we had in the 1980s.

Hoover Humour...

'Just run your Hoover over.' - naturally, it's suggesting you run your Hoover over your rugs, not that you flatten it with your 'Motor Car'!

'If you give her a Hoover, you give her the best.' Perhaps they didn't run this one in the UK, because it seems to imply your wife will appreciate being vacuumed...

'With Positive Agitation.' - it irritates you. In a good way.

'So simple, even a child may operate it.' - but they'll resent you for making them clean, when they'd rather be out playing. Then grow up to write a tell-all book about you...

'I bought it without touching my savings!' - because you'd already squandered your savings on liquor and jazz...

Vintagehoover, great humour! Would you or someone there know of a comedy bit by two British tv personalities about buying a new Hoover? I'm just curious as to who they could be. Whatever male comedy team is really big there.

"Hoover can handle it" (from the 1980's).

"The Purepower of Hoover" -(the tagline of the mid-nineties advert for the Purepower upright cleaner that commenced with: "The inventors of the Hoover Cleaner have re-invented it for today...)

The UK editions of "Readers' Digest" monthly magazine carried classified adverts at the time (early 80's) for the Hoover Turbopower upright cleaners.

The picture showed a white-gloved hand, with a pile of grit in it. I think the idea was that the Hoovers removed this much more grit than any cylinder machine could.

I had a work colleague who had a Hoover Turbopower at one time. Apparently when she had the carpets professionally cleaned, the guy couldn't believe the lack of dirt in the carpet.

I had a neighbour who only ever used a cylinder cleaner. When I shampooed her lounge carpet for her, the mud and grit extracted was unbelievable. Before I did the hall carpet, I borrowed Mum's Hoover 'Turbopower 3'. The amount of dirt that came out that carpet was terrible (at least a full bag).

So the Hoover method of agitation really does work!
