My U4007 Custom Convertible does 107 CFM at the nozzle and can easily pass the flour under the carpet test. So if it's deeper cleaning, the Convertible wins. I will always have a Convertible in my collection, but my wife hates everything about it (looks, sound, etc.). Oh, and with all that airflow pulling the nozzle to the carpet, it is hard to push.
I could listen to it all day (fabulous low rumbling), love its genuine retro looks and of course, you know whatever you point it at, it'll be clean quickly. Bill |

A Model G in perfect shape for ANY upright ever made, the G is the most refined vacuum I think that was ever built, QUIET and powerful. |

For me I would never trade an Electrolux for a Hoover.
Electrolux quality surpasses the Hoover, I would dare say would also out clean the Hoover. If the Lux has a power head, I would find a newer power head and make sure the brush roll is replaced. I have never appreciated the Hoover Convertibles and would take a Eureka any day. I do have several in my collection but would prefer to use the Model 28. Just my opinion. |

of the best, easiest to run/steer, etc. vacuums in the Hoover lineage.
I also believe that the 1060 is as well. Personally, for ME, nothing beats a Hoover Convertible. Some were made cheaper than others, but...............they are tried and true. I've had to use Eurekas in the past (not at 103 William0, but in rectories ,etc. They're just not for me. |

What Jimmy Martin told me about the Super J problems....He was working for Elux then, the problem was a vibration in the very first ones. |
