Eric, You would love the Hoover Dial-a-Matic, it is a very well built machine, tool usage is so simple. However, if you are in a dorm room a simple canister my be a better choice. If you just have an area rug, lots of furniture, the Hoover may be to bulky. Perhaps if you could find a Dirt Devil Can Vac...with powerhead, it would handle all your chores nicely. I always felt the Dail-a-matic cleaned well, noise level was not that bad and bag changing was easy. If memory serves me correctly some of the later models actually cleaned a little better than the early models due to a change in the brush roll design. The handle was a problem as well for the early machines, but I think the later runs were better as well. Just my two cents! Morgan |

The Hoover portable if you want a potential vintage conversation piece, its a little on the Innovative side,the way everything stores inside also makes it compact. Just an idea, the only dowside is it doesn't have a PN. But you could change that ;~) I have done it. BTW-Where will you be attending in the fall? Are the dorms on the large side? |
