To say I am shocked is an understatement, and to say I am relieved is a bigger one! At the moment in the UK we only have 1 budget bagged upright, the Hoover Purepower. All the other ones have slowly disappeared, and since Electrolux went all the decent bagged uprights went too. We lost Panasonic...

Oreck and Kirby Sadly apart from Oreck and Kirby, thats it. Or do vorwerk do one? Not too sure. I know sebo do one that is advertised as more light weight, I cant think of the name of it now but anyway its more plastic than soft bag, although you do have to unzip an outer fabric bag to get to...

And Last But Not Least, Hoover* Model U2662!

Just Two More Shots Of The Hood

Controls The Freedoms never had cord rewind like the autoflex models did even though they were top of the range. You can see the blanking peice were the cord rewind botton would of been. This model does however still have the bag full indicator, two speed setting and headlight.

Sales Sticker On How To Use The Tools The sticker has never been peeled off like it probably has on most cleaners so its nice to have.

Back Of Cleaner With Full Set Of Tools

Conversion Kit Bag Door Very plain, unlike the normal Turbopowers there is no writing on the door, its just plain with the burgundy and metallic finish, with a small very discreet looking Hoover Logo in the bottom left corner. The sticker on the inside of the bag door is the same as the normal...

Replacement Cord Hook Looks like there is a bit of damage around the cord hook but there is nothing I can do about that so its best to just enjoy my new cleaner!

Conversion Kit Fill Tube As you can see the Conversion Kit Fill Tube has a pre drilled hole inside it, with a washer on the screw to hold it in place, you can see the other normal holes at the side were the fill tube could of been fixed to the more common turbopowers.

Hello everyone! I would like to show off something very special, well actually its not that special but its pretty special to me! It is my Hoover Turbopower Freedom from sometime in the early 90s. The reason this one is 'special' is because it has been converted to bagged. I don't know how many...

Funny old world I really wish I could help you all find your dream machines, it seems funny hearing people in USA ssy how rare the DC07s are, I am a UK collector and these machines were and still are as common as muck and the spares are still widely available. We had lots of dysons both with...

Its working! Thanks les, I probably do not a new field coil as it does seem like its seen better days but that wasnt the cause of the isuue. I am so embarrased to admit this, but someone sent me a picture of their 612 with the hood off and I had wired mine totally wrong. And I mean totally. I...

Oh dear I have put a new armature in and its still awful, so it must be something I have done. After its been on only for a few seconds the field coil gets VERY hot so maybe I have wired that wrong or the whole thing is wired wrong. If someone can post a picture of their 612 with the hood off I...
