This brings me very golden memories. My aunt used to have one of the these, but it was green. I was told that she got it as a wedding gift in the 70's. I was in daycare in my aunts home and it was late 80's. I clearly remember this vacuum. Back then they had replaced the hose with the Electrolux hose, wand and nozzle. What I remember that vacuum was still in use in the early 90's. So it lived whole 80's and more. What a golden memories.
My favourite cleaners are hitachi they bring back memories of both my grandparents they had hitachi cleaners I have my great grandmas a cv560d absolutely fantastic cleaner has fantastic agitation really enjoyed this video.
My parents got a General Electric barrel vacuum in 1985 as a wedding present. It was a peanut butter sort of colour, had the same hose coupler at the machine end, as did a lot of machines in that era, National/Panasonic, Sanyo etc. Id love to find one, it blew up in 97/98. I recall Mum saying it was 12 years old when it died so that puts it around 97/98. Also, regarding the two holes in the coupler, my grandparents had a red National Panasonic barrel vac from the mid late 70s, and it had a remote switch on the hose handle and two electrical pins at the machine coupling. Thats what those mouldings will be for. The switch on the machine had two positions, on and auto. Auto allowed control via the hose and On was just an override.
Love these Japanese canister cleaners from the 1970's!!! So quiet and powerful and lightweight!!! I think the electrical outlet near the hose port is meant for a more deluxe electrified hose with a convenient power switch on the handle....compact powered floor nozzles only started showing up in Japan in the 1990's...which were meant to help clean tatame mats. Enjoy that Hitachi!!!!
Thats exactly what it would be for. Some National Panasonic machines of the same era had a little red toggle on the handle and they had that same hose coupler.
I've got 2 of these, one in Orange one in green. They were relatively common here in New Zealand :) I also have the later version that has the cord rewind. The two little holes by the hose were for models with a remote power switch, & for those asking the air exhaust is around the outside just below the rubberised bumper bar. I'm pretty sure these didn't ever have bags, just the simple filter, national/panasonic did similar bangles models (that even automatically cleaned the filter each time you pulled out the power cable) lol
Very nice find! These are difficult to find in good shape, because it's bagless and I think people used these much longer than bagged vacuums (like vacuuming cars)
Hitachi did some lovely uprights in the late 80s which I think were clean fan with on board tools. Made Hoover cleaners seem old fashioned at the time.
OMG, i need exactly one of these for my car😃 because we have Vorwerk folletto, and it is really difficult to vacuum the car with an upright vacuum... even with the accessories. You must always disconnect the handle and the power cord, which is not recommended.
Nice video and like very much this vintage vacuums ! I always want to ask you do you like plastic hoses and plastic pipes or you prefer more that old with textile clothes surface and metal pipes .I always had a feeling that old textile transfer somehow better vacuuming air
I had an Hitachi Deluxe cylinder (cannot remember model no) for the car and stairs, this was in my first house in the 90s it had gold writing and it was Cadbury Dairy Milk purple was an ok machine at the time.
I know that this is completely unrelated to a dyson but I have a Hoover constellation 454 and the cord frayed right where it comes out of the vacuum the wires are fine so I popped out the plastic clip that holds the cord in place in the vacuum housing and now I cannot get it back in any suggestions on what to do would be greatly appreciated
Hitachi is almost a shell of its former self... not quite a shadow lol. They lease the brand out to third parties of varying quality... the home electronics are OK to shoddy... The name Hitachi is stuck on stuff you could probably pick up for less cash elsewhere.
Está marca Hitachi nunca mais , tive um.soprador de folhas deu defeito tive que jogar fora pq deu defeito não tinha peça de reposição não obtive retorno da fabricante.

It looks like a Rainbow vacuum cleaner
Upo C-V160GN in Finland
Such an adorable vacuum cleaner, love the mustard yellow.

This brings back childhood memories, my grandparents had this this same vacuum but in brown

Great review of this HITCHI Vacum cleaner!!
Aparantly at Home i own a HITACHI TV but i never knew thes are pretty rare to Find here in the UK

I still use mine daily ! This same model but in orange colour
Oh I loved it. That was my childhood.
Very nice find! These are difficult to find in good shape, because it's bagless and I think people used these much longer than bagged vacuums (like vacuuming cars)

My My This Takes Me Back To My Childhood Alright As My Auntie Had One Of These!! A Great Wee Vacuum Tbh!!
I had one of these but mine was brown, fab little cleaner for its time. 😊
The holes are because of the on/off switch on the handle. Some models also National vacuums (in japan) they have had on/off switch on the handle.
Very nice vacuum cleaner man.
I miss them. I really liked their televisions.
My mum still has hers, it's a red one, it isn't as fresh and new as yours, the motor on ours rattles when you switch it off, still works ok though
Love the colour 😀
Roger have you ever used a filter queen vacuum cleaner
OMG, i need exactly one of these for my car😃 because we have Vorwerk folletto, and it is really difficult to vacuum the car with an upright vacuum... even with the accessories. You must always disconnect the handle and the power cord, which is not recommended.
Your socks match, was that done on purpose, lol? Love the retro unboxing videos
Roger. Would wear coloured socks depending on the colour of a vacuum he would unbox
Nice video and like very much this vintage vacuums ! I always want to ask you do you like plastic hoses and plastic pipes or you prefer more that old with textile clothes surface and metal pipes .I always had a feeling that old textile transfer somehow better vacuuming air
CV 160...looks like the result of taking design cues from a Rainbow D4, a Numatic Henry and Hoover. The wind down is like a Rainbow, fairly long
Hi Roger, Have you any Panasonic vacuums in your collection? They always looked more advanced than other cleaners to me in the 80s
I had an Hitachi Deluxe cylinder (cannot remember model no) for the car and stairs, this was in my first house in the 90s it had gold writing and it was Cadbury Dairy Milk purple was an ok machine at the time.
I know that this is completely unrelated to a dyson but I have a Hoover constellation 454 and the cord frayed right where it comes out of the vacuum the wires are fine so I popped out the plastic clip that holds the cord in place in the vacuum housing and now I cannot get it back in any suggestions on what to do would be greatly appreciated
Very like the CV95N
wow amazing vid
D. Jack Wasn’t expecting you to be here 😂
@@MisterBrownJack xD
I love Hitachi
Ibaisaic can you buy a dyson dco7 and do a unboxing and demo
Hi Roger, Do you think this vacuum uses bags at all?
Where's dose the air vents out on the hitchi vacuum
I have the yellow and brown one as well as the 580m in beige and brown
Hove a good day form Greg
its almost like a japan version of the Henry numatic filter is similar
Where is the exhaust/air outlet? There wasn’t any vents on the top housing 🤨
Exhaust air comes from around the white bumper top of the bin.
Hitachi is almost a shell of its former self... not quite a shadow lol. They lease the brand out to third parties of varying quality... the home electronics are OK to shoddy... The name Hitachi is stuck on stuff you could probably pick up for less cash elsewhere.
Instead of a bashing if you have an air compressor you can blow it off
where does it exhaust from
Exhaust air comes from around the white bumper top of the bin.
Should be nice for the caravan
Sounds a bit dry those motor bearings
CV-168 in Japan.
looks a bit like a henry similar design without the face
My 580m is reflex
Sounds like a Rainbow
Oh yes but they were very expensive.
