Thanks for sharing. Color scheme was interesting for 81. My parents had a TOL Concept in blue. It was heavy even with self propelled. My thoughts are Hoover should have perfected the Dial-a-matic, much easier to use, tool conversion, direct air, etc. I detested using the Concept when I was a kid/teenager. 😂

@@bribrimc73 oh definitely! I love the Dial-A-Matic and wish they’d continued it longer and maybe even in this color scheme :) thank you so much for watching!

I have the U3101 as a first gen representative, but the rest of my Concept One's are all 2nd gen ones (U4219 and U3335 respectively). I would like to find a U4201 though.

@@graysonsvacsandmowers5426 oh that’s awesome! Those U4201 machines are still out there, just a little harder to find. Thank you for sharing and thank you so much for watching!

Can you still get the brush strips for these vacuums? Mine needs new one’s so if you can where do you get them?

[@Konstellation_Karl_55]

@@Bunkysworkshop I’ve gotten them off eBay in the past, so I think you can still get them. Thank you so much for watching!

I had a Concept One that I bought in the early 1990s that lasted for about a decade and I lied it very much. It was self propelled and felt very robust however twice I needed to have the switchgear atop the handle replaced because the plastics separated but other than that it was a decent machine.
