Hello all, I have a Hoover Senior 612 and a Hoover Junior 1224 that both want new hand grips as the old ones are a bit mucky and battered. However I dont know how to go about removing the old ones without ripping/breaking them nor do I know how to go about fitting the new handle grips. Any...

Hoover Senior 6525E My favorite hoover vacuum cleaner would have to be the hoover senior 6525E. Mine is one of the last seniors ever made and is from 1976 toward the end of the senior era. I love it so much because the headlight lights up dark spaces and it has great carpet pile height...

Thank you but, I dont want to replace the suppressor in the 1334 as they can blow up like the previous one did. I was asking about the 1224 becaue i wanted to know if it had a suppressor or not because if it did i wanted to remove it and throw it away not put it in the 1334. The suppressors in...

Bang! I know its a risk but i dont want the other vacuum cleaners to go bang like the 1334 did!

Hello everyone, Today whilst i was vacuuming my house with my hoover junior 1334 the suppressor blew. To stop this frightning experience from ever happening again i have took the sensible decision to remove the suppressor from all of my vintage vacuum cleaners. One of my models is the hoover...

Hello everyone, Long story short, my GRANDMAS friends MUM had a hoover senior 6525E in her loft that she let me have. Lots of the parts were missing so I have replaced the missing parts but there is one thing that I cant seem to find anywhere... the baseplate. I have searched high and low on...

Hi all, i have a hoover senior 6525E that i am slowly refurbishing and it is missing its brush roll and i am quite prepared to buy one new for 20 pounds. My question is that i have found a brush roll online but the description doesnt say what models it fits the descreption just says hoover...

Re- spray I would just like to say thank you for taking the time to comment on my post and that yes- your right, the junior was one of the most common vacuum cleaners in the uk. I also have a hoover senior or as Americans would call a 'hoover convertible' that I am also hoping to re- spray as...

Bumper Also I forgot to say ignor the bumper- I will remove the drops of paint of that when I have more time!

Hiya all, I have just finished my first ever re-spray on a vacuum cleaner- a hoover junior 1224. I know its not much but I wanted to post this as considering it was my first re-spray ever of a vacuum cleaner I felt proud of myself and it looks a damnsight better than before I started. The old...

Before the eu wattage rulus for vacuum cleaners changed, there was still a few budget bagged upright vacuum cleaners on the market. I know for a fact that zanussi, panasonic, electrolux and hoover all made budget bagged uprights. Then the eu wattage rules changed and all budget bagged uprights...

Never mind It will make a good parts/ spairs machine and since this was free nothing was lost.

Oh dear! It certainly isnt looking to good then is it? Now you have said that, i am considering scrapping it for parts. Thanks for telling me anyway :)

hiya everyone, it has been a long time since i last posted but i am back again, and this time with a faulty hoover senior 6525E. The problem with the hoover is that when the motor starts up/winds down the suction fan creates a horrible scraping noise. I have took the motor hood off and the top...
