I inherited one of these from the piano store I used to work for, which closed 13 years ago. It was old when I first started working at the store 36 years ago. I still use it today. I have found these at thrift stores for about $20, and I own 3 of them. They're not super-powerful, but get the job done and parts are still available.
Looks like a very nice vacuum cleaner. Thanks for showing us!
Weird, I can't find anything online regarding this vacuum being assembled in USA.
You'd think they'd mention it.
Thanks , Saw this on sale on Amazon for $110, so purchase one looks like worth it, for quick clean around the house or patio 🤙
The PortaPower was introduced in (if memory serves me correctly) 1969, under the name 'Swingette'
You’re right, this is definitely the oldest Hoover model still in production!

You talk so low and sound so faraway
Thanks
