    Hoover Turbopower U2334 (July 1986)

    Got this of eBay for a steal of a price, this machine really makes no sense to me as it has some of the higher end features such as, bag light indicator, 2 speed motor and autoflex however it doesn't have a headlight which just confuses me, anyway here it is, this I believe was the 2nd...

    Dyson DC27 refurb

    1990 Electolux Turbo 2 model Z1070

    Here is my Electrolux turbo 2 that I got in a job lot with a Hoover Turbopower junior, I believe this would of been BOL, the 500s came out in the 70s and were intended to be replaced by the short lived 600's, however they were so popular that Electrolux continued production even when the 600's...

    Hoover TURBOBOOST U2570 (december 1988)

    Another one of my job lot machines, from what Ive gathered the TURBOBOOST is quite a rare machine and was sold exclusively to Currys, anyway here is the restoration and after pics, as I type this the machine is drying out on a towel after a bath scrub and a rinse.

    Hoover Vortex V2001 (June 2000)

    So I have recently won a job lot of 4 machines those include an Electrolux cylinder model 180, a Hoover Turboboost and a Hoover Senior 612, and of course this, it was in quite a sorry state despite the seller saying it was fully working, why anyone would use a machine of that state in their home...

    Hoover Turbomaster U5096 restoration

    So after an nightmare week of convincing the seller to post and another week of waiting for it to arrive, it finally came, it was in okay condition outside, nothing that a good old dust couldn't take care of, under the hood was a completely different story as the pictures will tell, my guess is...
