1960s Hoover Pink Constellation Vacuum Cleaner Unboxing & First Look

#retro #vintageappliance #1960s
In this video I unbox my best example of the rose and white Hoover Constellation from the early 60s. Since I filmed the unboxing I managed to source the correct carpet/floor tool (as seen in the thumbnail photo) as well as the cardboard tool caddy that I got with an old set of Hoover upright vacuum tools.

Brought back many memories, my parents had this model back in the early 60's.

[@Ilovevacuum79]

In Finland this model came with a long crevice tool and also a wide floor nozzle included. That plastic short crevice tool was with pink 822 Connie. Very lovely sounding machine, my grand mother had grey 862 from 1963 and it's sounded excactly the same with low "boom sound" effect😅

I managed to see this before 3 hours had passed, love your videos Rodger!

[@GregoriiRadush]

very cool video❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@janeclark4915]

I think that is a fair price considering it’s lovely condition Roger…

[@philliphurley5341]

Model 862 in rose pink and white was the third version of the constellation and went on sale in 1959.

[@fillistine]

Gosh. My parents had the blue one in the 70s!

[@ibaisaic]

I’ve got a few blue versions on my channel.

[@fillistine]

​@@ibaisaicit used to glide across th carpet😂 that was my toy😂😂

[@AfterDark33]

I would almost suggest that if you replaced the flat filter with a portion of a Henry bag, you’d have some very good filtration on your Constellations! Obviously your still have a normal paper bag, but you’d gain a lot doing so.

[@David-uf8ex]

I think the sticker said Picture rails . I think the early pink constellation came with the pink Hoover 2 pin plug by 1962 that was the end of the 2 pin

[@ibaisaic]

Yes, when I was editing the video I saw picture rails too.

[@GregoriiRadush]

What do you think is the best vintage hoover vacuum cleaner?

[@Bob-ml1mv]

Brings back memories but I believe the upright s are better with the beater bar brush on carpet s. Also the converter piece that you showed goes into the back of the Hoover upright s the converter piece for the hose . The above floor cleaning attachments..my moms vacuum had the same piece. I would love to use these vintage vacuum cleaner s

[@cturner452]

Picture rails...that's what the label on the dusting brush said.

[@FreddioSmith]

Very cool what motor is it?

[@OllyHudson-gager]

Hi Ibaisaic I have watched some of the video and I can see that the views on your channel increase rapidly. I did comment on one of your videos before on my account called Ollygager on your Hoover Jazz video and I said how much I like the firework display 😂😂😂. I have a hoover vacuum called a Hoover Whirlwind anyway good video from Olly (KZbin channel The Hilarious Olly's Life).

[@lee-annebates903]

What is the vacuum cleaner you use the most un your home or is it that you use them all if you are tired of one you use a nuther one😊

[@ibaisaic]

I don’t use one particular model. In the last two weeks I have been using a couple of Roombas, a Miele Duoflex, Miele CX1, Hoover Starlight and a Henry Cordless.

[@lee-annebates903]

​@@ibaisaic ok thanks

[@EthanMills-e8x]

When was the Pink Hoover Constellation was made in, Roger?

[@Cherrycrumble8]

I have a question. I have hard floors in my home and really want a good quality hover I can use to clean my home effectively! I'm incredibly allergic to dust, and my current hoover has weak suction 😢 Thank you in advance

[@ruthannkommers650]

Hello😊

[@DisneyMarkUK]

Hi Rog. What does the suppressor do? Thanks as always.

[@ibaisaic]

It stops the cleaner from causing interference with analogue TV and radio signals. You may remember that back in the day, the vacuum cleaner could cause the picture to break up when used near an old CRT television.

[@DisneyMarkUK]

@@ibaisaic Thanks Rog. Do you sometimes remove them because it’s old tec now?

[@cantliff9]

​@@DisneyMarkUKNot really needed anymore is what I've come to understand - also, they can blow- cause a lot of noise and a very bad smell!

[@DisneyMarkUK]

@@cantliff9 Tyank you.

[@1962speiche]

Hoover is loud!
