Any car people out there get the reference?
Anyway, look what I got today! Really this has to be one of the most odd looking sweepers ever made. That being said, I think it looks fantastic. I got this one off of a facebook marketplace post. I did a quick clean out of the filter and tank (although the tank could use a real washing), and yeah it runs without a hitch. It is really bizarre hearing that clattering noise from the filter, almost give it a mechanical sound, even though it's really just a peice of paper being flicked by a paper clip lol. Really excited to have found this, been wanting to find one for a few years now. | ||

I got the Nissan reference lol
That’s amachine I wouldn’t mind finding just for the oddity and rarity of it. Definitely a complete monstrosity, Hoover ended up replacing any that broke with a free Elite rewind... I never truly understood the need for such a complicated filter that the customer can’t remove and replace. I’ve never gotten into one of these, I did replace the filter motor in a Windtunnel 2 once, and said never again.

Kudos on getting the datsun/nissan reference! I don't plan on using it much, just glad to have one. It's the 400 model, not the 700, but really I like the white of the 400 more than the color of the 700. Although, the LED lights would have been nice. This one's body is surprisingly in such a nice shape. I feel like it was trying to "do a dyson" with the striking futuristic look, but functionally it goes about it in almost a complete opposite way as dyson. I mean the tank system is basically a morph of the twin chamber design, atleast as I see it anyway.

Talking about the Fairlady... My favorite and one of the most famous Fairlady Z's. The ABR Hosoki 280ZX. Has a top speed of 216 MPH. Was in the famous Mid Night Club.

That dumb clunky thing is more like a AMG H1 Hummer than a Nissan, lol Those vacs are notoriously terrible and well know for being heavy, cumbersome, and noisy.
They do have a cult following though despite this and many collectors want one. I was fortunate enough to find a Garry vacuum at a Restore for $10, which in the coming years will become rarer I am sure. | ||

I opened my MINT "Z" for the first time
at one of my mini meets. It's actually very nice....NOT a stellar choice for a daily driver, though. Big, heavy, etc... it was Hoover's "butch, MAN VAC"!
I'd never use it regularly to clean this 12-room house: I'd go out of my mind. But, IF you collect, especially "all things HOOVER", you must have at least one. I just gave one to Tom (Anderson). | ||
