  1. I saw a red one in a thrift store, it was in there for a month. I didn’t buy it because I thought it was missing a wand. I didn’t know it wasn’t after all. My loss.

  2. Hoover sold its first Portable canister in 1963.

    However, neither this nor the obviously-thinner Slimline that came out the next year (in 1964) were considered portable enough (if in the sense you wanted to wear it like a purse), so Hoover, in 1970 came out with the Swingette (renamed Portapower in 1975).

  3. I have the same model I found in a dumpster. Mine is light green and tan. Do you know when they were built? How much was yours??

  4. I have had the same model which I bought in the mid 70’s. I need to know the model # of this machine (can’t find it on mine) so I can search for original replacement parts. I need the upholstry brush since mine broke.

  5. it might be a model 2210. I dont have mine with me now. The model # is on the manufacturers plate on the bottom.

  6. I’m thinking the red and beige Portable was less than twenty dollars. I found it over a year ago, wasn’t aware there are parts still around.
