Yes, there was a Model 27..... Produced in 1945 and 1946, it was Hoover's first new "post war" model. It looked a lot like the Model 28, but different colors.... | ||

Big Bag! Now that's the way I remember the bag on my mum's 612 when I was a kid. I have a 612 now, but somehow it's bag doesn't inflate in quite the same way ... that 28 is awesome

I have a magazine advertisement from Christmas 1949 that listed the Model 28 at $74.95, the Model 61 at $94.95, and the Model 115 at $49.95. 95 bucks was a lot of money in 1949! | ||

Did Hoover model 28 use paper bags? I'm new to learning about these vintage machines and not sure. | ||

this thread is almost 9 years old
so youre not going to get an answer from any of the people in this topic (except john long he's still here)
to answer your question. no the model 28 was a dump bag not unlike a kirby or royal of the same period. airway had patents on paper bags until the early 50's. the first hoover upright to use paper bags was the model 63, in 1954. the model 60-62 used a "handi sac" which was a re-usable paper bag, "type "W" as it was known well after those models were discontinued, but those machines arent common and bags are even harder to find for them. the model 63 was the first hoover to use the very famous "c" bag usually associated with the hoover convertible thru the late 70s | ||

For all the Hoover 28 and 61 buffs out there
Thought I'd share this. I remember seeing this commercial when I was a kid. Strange how Hoover shows the 61 right after the 28 in the evolution when they were offered at the same time. The 28 was my first ever vintage cleaner and I still have it 30 years later. I do like the look of the 61 flat top slightly more. I'd LOVE to find a model 60 Hoover Special dressed up as a 61. I've noticed some 61's have glass headlights, while others have plastic. I'm guessing the later ones were plastic?
