Hello everyone

[modelNhoover]

I have been lurking the website for a long time now but only now did I get an account. Anyway, I like vintage machines and most I find locally if possible.

From left to right: Eureka 627, Hoover Convertible U4317, Hoover Model 700, Hoover Convertible U4119, Hoover Convertible 707, and Hoover Model N.

Thanks for looking!

Welcome to the forum. The bags on your vacuums all look pretty nice. A nice collection. They look well taken care of.

Your hoover Convertible U4317 looks more like a work of art to me than a vacuum cleaner. Definitely my favorite of your collection.

Thank you! I got the vacuum at my local goodwill back in april. My jaw was on the floor when I found out it was only 6 dollars!

That's a great find. You never know what is going to be in a goodwill.

Welcome aboard! Nice collection you have there! My interest is also vintage machines, and your 700 and model N would be my favorites in your collection. I also have a 700, here's a group pic of 7 of my vintage Hoovers. Left to right are 541, 541 Special, 700, 725, 425, 450, and 875.

Those bags are incredible! is that the 750 with the headlight?

 

[hygiene903]

Thank you! No, that's a 725 in the center with the headlight. They were offered as an option on the 725 but were standard equipment with the 750. As for the bags, the 700, 725, and 425 all have original (to my knowledge) bags, the 541, 450, and 825 have genuine Hoover replacement bags, and the 541 Special has a generic replacement bag. Still have all of them except the 541 Special.
