Fooled Ya. Not really. I actually like them. A lot. I love talking about them with my Hoover Guru John. He sure has helped me out tremendously. I don't think there's anyone who knows more about Hoover than John. (Gregory of course)
Talk about a blast from the past with this Hoover Commercial for New Year's Eve. | ||

The very first VCCC awards for the Cleaning Contest. I won TWO. With a Hoover 61, of course. The 'club' was so cool back then.

My husband's favorite. He doesn't like vacuums but he likes this one for some reason. I think it's awesome. It's the only upright vacuum he will use.

I did replace the cord with a 30 foot one on my Convertible. I change the bag each time I use it so it's always 'factory fresh'.

This is what happens when a Hoover drinks the “Iced tea”. The next thing you know, it will be falling down the Hoover staircase highway to hell. Flower power and all. It was the 70s.

One of my all time favorite VINTAGE Hoover cleaners to use is the stunning Model 300 with its unique plug and bag decal. Doors may be closed for a reason, but she just needs to come out of the closet already. She's very old, her looks have faded, but if she thought she was going to just 'rest', that's not happening. Give her a few minutes to warm up, and she's sucking just like she did in Ohio. When she left North Canton.

These two Convertibles came to me from an old spinster woman who lived in a huge but old and unkempt house. She referred to it as "the palace" but I always thought it looked like a mortuary. These were given to me, so I took them apart to restore them.
One of them had dry bearings. As dry as Italian Pepper Cookies. Just squealed like Ned Beatty in Deliverance. Used my Hoover grease gun on them, and the bearings are no longer as dry as the cakes the old lady baked. It's been two years since I got these machines. Don't know what happened to the old lady. I heard she died all alone in that house. I remember seeing a huge dumpster outside of her mausoleum one day. The old lady hasn't been seen since. I've looked for her obituary, but as she had no husband, no real family, I think she has faded like the Wicked Witch of the West "what a world, what a world". So sad. I'm loving my Convertibles. I have enough bags I can change them after each use. And now they both run smooth and quiet.

What’s the age difference between these 2? I have to ask because the yellow one has the rounded tubular handle and the orange one doesn’t. | ||

age difference:
The yellow model is older, it uses type C bags. The yellow one is the one that had bearings as dry as Irish Soda Bread. It was more cheesed up than the eggnog they were serving at the nursing home over Christmas.
The burnt orange one is newer but only by a year or so. It uses the type A bags that side down into the holder. Slides like a guest going down the staircase of hell. John got me a new upper bearing for the orange one and now she dances on the carpet like an aging Rockette. | ||

I recognize all of these fabulous color coordinated party goers. However, what is this little number? Is this a Thompson or Silver King?

I'm afraid to guess....because it's "TURKWAHHZ!” It does look like a Water-Matic, however..... This post was last edited 01/09/2020 at 21:21 | ||

It IS a Water-Matic. Many people think there must be like a Rainbow, but they did not use water to clean. They had float valve you put into the chrome tank to allow the machine to pick up water. Filtration was a flat filter paper over the top of the tank, and a cloth filter directly under the motor. At one time, Air-Way made the power nozzle for Water-Matic. A Water-Matic with that power nozzle is extremely rare.
