Antoine,
You scored an ultra rare find; the only other Hoover compact canister with a power nozzle I know of was the Tempo 450 model S1347. ~Ben | ||

Ben, the Hoover PortaPower III was actually pretty common in Canada....it sold in Zellers for $169.99 in the mid 90s. I actually owned one for a couple years - nice vac, but the bag size and poor filtration led me to pass it on to Mom and traded her for a nice Hoover Elite hard body upright with HEPA Cloth bags. When I had mine, I upgraded the single row brushroll to a double row brushroll, and bought metal Hoover wands to replace the plastic PN wands, and kept the plastic wands for my floor brush.
Antoine, that's a really nice score you got there! What vacuum did you scavenge the longer hose from to transplant onto the Hoover ends? I never did like the coiled hose on that vacuum - it would shrink up like a upright hose when doing furniture cleaning with the upholstery tool. Here's something either of you probably didn't know - did you guys know Hoover made a Style R reusable cloth shakeout bag for these cleaners? Yup, it's true! One of the few Hoover canisters that had that option. | ||

i used a Shop-vac hose to makea longer one for my Hoover .
the factory hose was to small in diamater and lenght .,I figured this shop vac hose would not choke off the air flow and suction as much being the same size as trhe wands and handle . Yes filtration is not its strong point per say but its a nifty find for 15 $ Complete with pn too. | ||
