Hoover self-propelled powermax upright

I bought this Hoover powermax upright brand new back in 1989 iirc. It was Hoovers top of the line model and based on the previous Hoover Concept.. In my opinion it is the last of the quality vacuum cleaners Hoover made. Even though it contains a lot of plastic it is pretty sturdy and very heavy. Almost impossible for many woman to lift. Some of the features are the adjustable pile height, on-board tools, automatic tool conversion, self-propelled, variable electronic motor speed, power surge, chrome metal wands, and adjustable air freshener. The biggest drawback other than the weight of the machine is the extreme and I do mean extreme noise it makes. It’s so loud as you can tell by the video that it makes vacuuming rather unpleasant and a chore you want to get done with quickly. No it doesn’t need oiling or greasing, they were all this loud from the factory. It’s biggest plus is that it is probably the absolute best carpet cleaner bar none. I’ve not used any other vacuum other than a Concept that equals its carpet cleaning performance.

  1. very nice. I have the panasonic you have in the background. Can you make a video. I would but I do not have a cammera.

  2. No headlight at all? I thought they all came with headlights but maybe not. As you can see mine has one light burned out

  3. ya, i will make a video of it so you can see, i really hate that vacuum though it is way to big

  4. I have this one also, I think its pretty cool, but like the concepts I’ve had the lights dont last long probably becuase they vibrate so much
