  1. thanks i thought for sure they were discontinued, but i was wrong! i will have to check out the hoover website myself. you should check out some of my vids on vintage vacs.

  2. I am staying away from Hoover vacuums that are being produced these days as they are now under the same ownership as Royal. Hoover vacuums – IMO – would start at 1948 and end at 1988.

  3. History of the Swingette/Portapower:
    1970 – Swingette introduced.
    1975 – Name is changed to Portapower.
    1980 – Wheeled version (S1029) introduced.
    1982 – Commercial-grade Portapower introduced. Early examples had red bodies; they used Fireglow Orange around 1985.
    Late 1988 – Portapower discontinued (consumer market only) and replaced by the Sprint/Tempo line.

  4. Yeah, I do, but I never use it. I did use it one to blow some dust out of a motor.

    That might have been my Kirby Legend II actually…
