Have you ever seen the Hoover decade with the dust cup because my grandmother has a decade with a dust cup but it is loud as heck every time I use it I have to put in ear plugs because it is so loud

[general0ne]

@MrSpanglersean Actually, I have a Decade 800 with the dust cup - just haven't gotten around to making a video yet. It's no louder than this 800. Maybe the fan in your grandmother's is chipped or cracked making it vibrate? Or the brush roll bearings could be going bad.

is it cloth-bagged?

[general0ne]

@vacguy99 It has a cloth outer bag, but still uses the paper filter bags. I do have another 800 that I found that has a permanent cloth bag and a removable dust cup, though.

is heavy duty the same as commercial

[general0ne]

i don't think so. I think Hoover also had a commercial model. I really don't even know why the Decade 800 would be considered "heavy duty", as it's basically a Decade 80 that's a bit newer. Although, I don't know what makes a Sanitaire "commercial" other than it has the shake-out bag...

@general0ne Can you make a video of it?

[maryoassyrian2007]

Yours makes the loud noise too, when you push the handle down, and raise the hood. When I had the model U4119, it made a loud noise like that. What is that?

My '89 decade 800 has the 6.5 amp motor, probably changed when 80 became 800 in 1988. The decal may be missing due to a possibly changed out base at one time, my experience with a sanitaire sc888. Also your brushes should be red so I'm thinking they've been changed out also, explaining why they are still in excellent condition.
