Hi everybody! So today is very exciting for me because one again I got another addition to my vacuum collection and this one here was made in the 60’s. I’m not going to tell y’all yet, so I wanted to surprise everybody with this one. I got this from Larry Adkinson aka Larryeddy, and this is one of the vacuums he was selling so I couldn’t pass it up at all. Enjoy!

Here’s what I got out so far, telescopic wand and hose. Familiar? I think I’ll keep the wand and maybe the hose?

So here’s my new vintage vacuum! The Hoover Dial a Matic 1100, first model made around 1963! It is in very nice condition for being 55 yrs old and I’ve been dying for vacuum made in the 60’s to add to my collection! I also love the old style suction dial on the back.

mikanic, the vacuum isn’t noisy at all, it’s great and yes it definitely does beats and sweeps the carpet! But I’m planning on using hepa cloth bags instead of type D bags so it would have better airflow and hopefully strong suction too! Plus I’m planning on replacing the soft white brush strips with firm orange red brush strips for much better carpet grooming and performance. Greetings from the big D of Texas!!!
