I found this machine at the thrift store today for $3 and it runs great. I'm trying to figure how to take off the door for a bag, but I'll figure it out. Anyone got any info for this machine? This smells like a elevator when you turn it on?????

Scott,
A late friend of my mom's had this same machine. Also, this machine was also available custom-made for hospital emergency rooms, being also equipped with tools to assist in removing plaster casts. ~Ben This post was last edited 06/13/2022 at 19:29 |

They make disposable bags for this machine that do not need an adapter.

I love having the disposable bags for my Hoover. I use it as a bench blower. Sometimes you just Gotta have a Hoover. It’s always full of hot air.

You are correct. My friend Eric gave it to me. He bought it brand new. I have the box and everything. All vac shop repair rooms need a blower of some kind. I used to use an old Filter Queen but the motor finally gave way. The Hoover was perfect as it can actually sit on the workbench and is the right size and power for all those needs. After I wash a part, I use the Hoover to dry it.

I knew Hoover made those thicker bags to go with its Office Machine Cleaner. Had one of our employees spill copier toner all over the carpet one time. It was a mess! I had one myself that came with those thicker bags.
I didn't know that MW made bags for their version.
