A bit modern but...
Hi Charles...
Pity teleportation hasn't been invented... I'd pop over and get that lovely looking Decade 800 :)
Hope it goes to a good home along with loads of other goodies :)

Pics?
I will take some this evening but here's the link to her details. Other than the tool storage note the motor unit has a cut out to fit the docking moulding on the bucket... No more backwards or wonky tops :) :) ..

A REAL Commercial....
Hey Guys
I recently won this - model C1312 the last "Indestructible" Hoover.
This one is one of the last from December 1990

Hi Erik
No it comes with what's in the pic. I believe standard small tools fit so will just get a universal tool tree that clips on the wand :)

Why they stopped....
Hey Austin
One word... cost.
These were VERY expensive - I believe close to £300 by the time this was made.
The cleaning market was going further to the contract route rather than being done "in house" so to speak.
A new Henry could be had for under a third of the cost...
Hey Guys
I has an unused example of this, but sold it and regretted it. It's a very rare beast of a Hoover, the last incarnation of a model first made in the UK in 1949. This one is from December 1990 right at the end of it's 41 year production run!!!
The link is to the Ebay listing :)

Hey Guys
Iv'e been after one of these for ages but they tend to be expensive... This one was a steal- that's the correct turbo brush as well :)
Look forward to giving it a Spa treatment :)

Or however you spell it...
Henry is primarily designed to be simple, robust and reliable.
He will never have an electronic speed control. Numatic tried a simple 2 speed version where low was default and you had to switch to high every time you turned it on. It was seriously...
