Hi there This week I got a phonecall from the owner of a repair shop whom Ive known for some years asking if I would like to go and look through his store room and take any spares we wanted. Shelves of obsolete spares and cleaners along with a load of obsolete washer parts we came away with and...

A few weeks ago we held a meet here in the Peak District where we unveiled 2 of Hotpoints new cleaners. We bought the 2nd BOL cleaner the 'Pet' version in Blue and the TOL remote control, 5 floor head, Black cleaner. Both bagged variants. What I have made in daily use is these are very...

Hello fellow collectors, After picking up a Vampyr 6500 today I thought AEG vacs are rarely if ever discussed here so heres a thread dedicated. Dont have much to contribute myself as im more on the learning end so any info parted is greatly received. The 6500 is only the 2nd AEG cleaner in...

Ryan Sebofan mentioned somewhere in another thread somewhere that he had once owned a Mondo. Of all the cylinders in the late 90's I saw for sale the Mondo was the one I always wanted so fast forward to 2009 we saw this in a rather minging state in a junk shop so for the sum of £3 we brought it...

Hi guys, Well 4 years ago the search for one Turbomaster was difficult enough. So here we are today after countless avenues explored and fights battled and won who would of guessed Id be here typing this to show you guys the results of % 90% perseverance 9% perspiration and 1% prices postage...

Can anyone? (Aside from the colour difference - one was New In Box)

Finally got chance to pull of all the Turbomasters we have and take a few group photo's. Just for a bit of fun really and to see them together. Only missing 1 from the Core Range and the Electricity Board Special Total System. Am sure one day these will turn up.

As I posted a few months ago we got an (officially) modified Freedom. Modified in the sense that instead of being bagless as it was originally sold it had gotten an Original Hoover front panel as the seal from cleaner to dust box was not so good and leaked dust more than what it kept in the...

and I certainly didnt need a suitcase of cash to pay either. For the grand sum of £2.50 YES two pounds and fifty pence we got this delightfully stylish Hoover Portable yesterday.

well heres one of the latest newbies to the group and a rarity at that for this is a German Progress branded Electrolux that was made in Britain. Frontal

Core range of Turbomaster Total Systems that is. Only 3 left to find now being the Leccy board special Total system, u5080 and the Commercial model. Although this one is one with a twist. Its had the bag conversion complete with colour coded door front which is wholly original and produced by...

Thought it would be wise to set up another thread instead of flooding Jacks exhibition one to discuss the 700. Just fired her up and I cant say she sings like I expected her too. Seems that it takes a few seconds for the bag to inflate and although you do get reasonably consistant noise she...

Red Powerglide with Accessories for only £12?? Bargain!

I was not aware that Australia had Electrolux cleaners although I could be wrong but this looks to me like one. Or is it a Hoover? Perhaps the 427 with a different handle or the Electrolux 302? Seems to have a Hooveresque floor tool and a harsher motor noise to be Lux. This is from the...

Santa came early for me this year and dropped of this oddity. Dont really emember them being in the shops and if im honest I dont remember seeing this model anywhere so the curiosity got the better of me and I snapped it up off ebay. Made in France perhaps in the same place the Hoover...

Yesterday Paul, Mike King and Myself went to one of the local sunday car boot sales in search of some fab finds. Congleton (which ironically is the town where the Lux 550 had a service) is a small town where it seems folk like to keep onto stuff and thus the carboots often show up some good...

Started my week off work with a trail around the local charity and second hand shops this morning with fresh hope that a great weekend would pass its joys on into the week. First place I called into had this fab Lux 550 upright, One all children of the 80's and early 90's knew so well due to...

Paul and myself spent the weekend chasing appliances which included the collection of a recent ebay purchase from Glossop. We planned to travel from Crewe to Glossop and from there down the A roads through the Peak District en route to collect a Hotpoint washing machien from Birmingham. This...

Today I found a 160 in the local house clearance warehouse and although it was a bit messy it has cleaned up reasonably well. What I cannot get my head around is how to remove the hood????? I looked underneath the chassis but couldnt locate any screws that hold it on. When I ran the cleaner...
