Nothing beats an old school hoover convertible

[@wheinz574]

Older units cleans better than these newer models.

My older Eureka ESP outcleans my shark professional vacuum

Something said by Alec on Technology Connections when referring to record changers, "Most humans will happily trade quality for convenience." I guess people found the "old technology" more inconvenient and that's why the stupid bagless vacuums have taken over. Alas.

[@VacLab]

Yup, performance and longevity has been traded for convenience.

[@linksmith1057]

@@VacLab I think if more people knew the difference we might see a comeback of the older style of machines. Sadly, marketing can be a powerful tool. But considering I've been hospitalized four times due to asthma, I don't take convenience over performance.

Oh, how I wish I knew about the Hoover Convertible 7 years ago! I installed $8K worth of Shaw Caress thick cut pile carpeting and bought an Oreck Magnesium based on SHAW's recommendation and the fact my old Panasonic wouldn't even move. 7 years later the pile has been shredded by the Oreck, the carpeting destroyed. This past summer a neighbor gave me her mother's 1974 Baby Blue Hoover Convertible and it just glides over the carpeting. We affectionately named it the BLUE BOMBER! If only I knew earlier. BTW, loved this video but why did you put in an all brush bar and not keep the beater function? Doesn't that work the best??

[@VacLab]

As I discovered in extensive testing over the years, pile carpeting responds best to bristles, not beater bars.

[@viciouspoodle5543]

@@VacLab How do I get a replacement bar with all bristles?? Thanks!

[@VacLab]

@@viciouspoodle5543 this brush bar I use hasn't been sold in years. I think you can still get the inserts though.

[@viciouspoodle5543]

@@VacLab OK, thanks, one last question: If I used all brushes, wouldn't it continue to eat away at the carpet? The top is so frayed now. Or, because it runs at a lower RPM, I'm ok?

[@VacLab]

@@viciouspoodle5543 if your carpet is that damaged, it doesn't matter much what you use, right? 😄

Cool

I have that same red hoover.

The king of sand pickup was the Royal I believe at 96 percent for 10 passes.

This is the 2 cycle test, not the 10 cycle test. Check the playlist for the 2 cycle sand king.
