In the states, those used a Hoover H bag. I loved the part about the scissors lol. Never thought about that before 😂

I remember my parents having a very noisy industrial cylinder shaped vacuum cleaner. It was back in the 1970s, and made somewhere in Eastern Europe and it had a hole in each end so it would suck or blow. It came with all sorts of accessories to fit on the hose, including a decent paint spray gun, a glass spray dispenser bottle for liquid polish, rotary scrubbing / polishing attachments, and a paraffin degreasing gun for the workshop..

Wow sounds amazing x

[@brianwhittington5086]

@Alexsassets The vacuum cleaner equivalent to a Trabant 🤣

[@simonm2092]

Maybe it could be used to blow the dust off blinds. I'd like to try that. Blinds are impossible to clean well.. I do remember these hovering hoovers in the 70's and my mom vehemently stating that they did not hover and were a gimmic. 50 years later Alex, you prove her wrong ;-)

What a sucker! The old ones are the best 😊

[@EngineVids]

Surprised you never seen one before 😅, i have a constellation from 1961, the blower is really usefull to blow out dust in components 😎

[@EngineVids]

Someone else may explain better but these were brought in from the US as the UK factory was on strike various times in the 70s.

My auntie Dorothy had a hover Hoover but it was spherical shaped rather than flying saucer shaped like yours 😊

[@patrickh7368]

When I was little my Mum had a Hoover Constellation, similar but shaped like a ball, hovered around and followed her…excellent suction…always regretted swapping it…😮 Ohh n looks like that one the hose will go in the bottom to “blow” and attachments were available to put on tuther end 😮

Interesting model

[@tar1311]

That is so cool. Like that. 😄 never seen one of them before. 😉 Thank you,happy new year.

[@tar1311]

I too fell into the 'got up late for a car meet on new year's day syndrome!' ....nevermind. 😄

[@PhilRiley-v9n]

I've had a Constellation i got second hand in 1976 - its the ball shaped one and still going strong . The bags should have a card flange where it fits on and the lid has a piece half round to hold the back of the flange. It sucks better than a battery one 🙂

[@troygoodacre2718]

I want the bigger one they call the hoover constellation. My Nan had one.

[@garryhamer8234]

Wow my mum and dad used to have one of them, by the way my Morris 1100 is back on the road. 😊🎉

[@coled5090]

I have one like that but the top is orange! I used car wax on the paint.

[@CortinasAndClassics]

How cool is that? I want one :)

[@porscha901]

Didn't get to brooklands

Hello Alex on the floor Hoover made 2 vacuum cleaners that levitated, that one you have there and one which was shaped like a ball and they did float. I think that one could be relatively rare. I am not sure which model came first. Strangely enough they didn't catch on for some reason.

[@brianwhittington5086]

I would imagine needing to dust everywhere after every use, they must blow as much dust around the room as they suck up !
