Hello all! I have quite a few vintage vacuums already, but I lack what is a must have for any collector, and that is a "coffee can" style Hoover! However, as I have never delved into the realm of old Hoovers, I have no idea where to start! The most important thing to me is that it runs. I could care less about polished metal and an original bag and cord. How much should I expect to pay for an old Hoover like this, and where should I look?

I've paid anywhere from $10 to $100 for a Coffee Can Hoover, it just depends on how badly you want it.
It also depends on if the seller thinks that it is his or her ticket to retirement and wants a fortune. Sometimes it is just better to walk away and keep looking for one in better shape or at a more realistic price. In my case I've found a couple cheap that I just used for spare parts. | ||

I have several 'coffee cans'.
I have a nice 'array' of them. Although, they are not my favorite era. MY favorite time for Hoover is the Convertible era. MY personal' opinion would be to try to get a nice model 700. They are a nice specimen of that time. Perhaps, also, a nice art deco version with the 'headlight'. It might be hard getting one with a good, 'original' bag and cord. But, they are out there. They are not terribly pricey. I never paid a vast sum for them. Some were under $30.00 at yard sales, estate sales, etc.
Best of luck. You want a few specimens of the 'coffee can' type. | ||

I don't really care about an original bag and cord. For me, it adds to the "character" of that particular unit. I already have a Hoover U4003, So I'm good on plastic hood Convertibles, although I would like to find a Hoover 65. Anyone know how much one of those are? My current vintage vac wishlist consists of:
Hoover "coffee can" upright (any model) Compact with a power nozzle (any model) Royal metal upright (any model with a brushroll) | ||

Both my Hoover 700's I got on eBay as-is for $50 and $80. That's with shipping too. One is a 1960's rebuild and the other is all original and untouched. Their condition is best I can describe as "barn find". Cleaned up models people charge more for, but being nearly 100 years old expect them to be due for a service.

Adin, Hoover & Royal uprights might start about $30.Compacts with power nozzle would be more.As I recall 1 is near new,1 very good.Will try to sort after Regina,Bissell,Viking,old Kirby,old uprights & old Hoover uprights but before Kenmore. Jimmy 423-268-4841 | ||
