Its actually discussed exactly how old the Old Hoover is. Now in the second book, which is The Brave Little Toaster Goes To Mars. So with that being said, it is still a summer cottage, but the Master was not a kid, he is a grown married man, and the reason for the cottage being deserted in the book, is because his wife suffers from hay fever. The clock said the master left on Sep 26th 1973, and it is now March 8th 1976. The alarm clock (he was a clock radio, not just radio on the book), was part of a discussion about how long the appliances had been abandoned. There is a passage in the first book, about the time period that this story takes place. On the cover he was made to look like a model 115 junior, that was produced in 1946. In the book, he was not Kirby, he was referenced as, either 'the old Hoover', or just Hoover. So in 1978, a short version was published in a science fiction magazine, after it gained interest, then it was published as a novel in 1980, then from there, it indecently appealed to the younger audience. The story was originally intended to not be a kids book, or story because the initial idea of appliances, seemed absurd to his publisher. Disch, whom was a science fiction author. This story actually originated as a book. (further driving home the point) Now all someone needs to do is mod a DS80 into the movie character. The Master said he's had the appliances since he was a little kid. Right when the Kirby DS80 was still being produced. The Master is about 20 in the movie, and being 20 in 1987 would mean he wouldve been born in the late 60's.

The movie was made in 1987, and if it was set in the same year it was made (which is probable, considering the computer and touch tone phone shown later in the movie) that would be the perfect time frame. In the movie, the Master grew up and moved out of the house. (I know some vac shops do that.) But here's the real kicker. Of course, his handle may have broken, and been replaced with a DS50 handle. The rounded rear, the green bag, the triangular belt lifter and the headlight hood. I found it! Kirby Is a Kirby Dual Sanitronic 80 with a Dual Sanitronic 50 handle!Įverything about Kirby's features match up witch a DS80.
