I found this at the Habitat Restore in Amarillo a little while back. This machine purrs like a kitten. It's interesting to find one of these 120v/60Hz 240v/50Hz machines in the wild to me. It's joined my fleet of Hoover Vacuums and it's kinda cool to me.

It is cool

 A nice addition to your fleet. It's kind of funny that I knew nothing about this model existing , they are kind of rare. Then this month alone, March 2023,this is the 3rd time I've seen or heard about this particular vacuum on VL.Go figure. Does it have a plug adapter and or transformer for going 240 volts? Or do you just have to jumper the AC wires?

They sold them on military bases. I see them with some frequency since Fort Leonard Wood is just 20 miles from me. The public can shop at the PX and the dual-voltage Hoover was sold there.

I just got one

 I picked one of these up here in the UK a few weeks ago We had the hoover power plus dual voltage cleaners back in the 80s but I had never seen this model. This is my one next to my American hoover air pro
