One of my newest Hoover additions. I cannot believe the condition Hardly a scratch. You never get machines in this condition here in South Africa , Cleaning ladies destroy them normally, I consider it a good machine if only some of parts are damaged . This machines only issues are the wrong...

The final product, Just for me my very own red and white 652. The hood came out so nicely,
