The Hoover Slimline vacuum cleaner. While I like the look of this vacuum it is anything but easy to use on carpeting and hard floors for that matter. With only a tiny swivel caster at the front and two small roller wheels at the back it is very ungainly. I forgot to show the interior on the video but there is a place to store the crevice tool and brush. While I was yanking it around on the carpet you can see in the video how the hose became detached.
used to have one before the motor quit
What is the model # of your Slimline? Going by the Bali Green color, it would be a model S2017, sold in 1974.
You’re right, it is a 2017
How did its motor die?
it always made a grumbling noise the one day i used it and the motor locked up
I like. I bot one at Valuvillige. And bot in same coler.
The last Slimline Hoover produced was the model S3033, introduced around 1975 and discontinued for 1979. The main color of that unit was a two-tone combo of Sea Blue and Colonial Blue.
You may have wanted to take it to your nearest Hoover repair center.
It looks like a smaller version of my Hoover Portable! Does it also use type J bags?
I love it!
