 I picked up this Hoover Convertible Deluxe the other day at a local thrift store. I could hear it whimpering as soon as I walked through the door. I walked over to it and couldn't resist taking it home. So in the back seat it went to its forever home. The poor thing was filthy and had wire and threads wrapped around the impeller shaft. I'm sure that's probably why it ended up there. Here are the before pics: | ||

 Nice! It's amazing how many vacuums end up at the thrift store because people aren't willing to just take a look at them. We scored a Concept One and a Dial-a-Matic this way. Someone had vacuumed an eyeglass lens with the Concept One, which caused it to clog. A 2 minute repair returned it to its properly functioning self!
The Dial-a-Matic was given to us for free because, and I quote, "It's the ugliest orange vacuum we've ever seen and we hate it." The thing is self-propelled in both directions! The only thing it needed was a new belt, which is why it came our way.
How did you clean yours up so nice? | ||
