Hello all,
Last week I rescued a little treasure off eBay...A Hoover High Power Junior model U1104, they called this style Junior "High Power" because they were 300w and not 250 like Juniors had been for many years prior...This particular example was hardly used, according to the seller and they weren't lying! The machine hardly has any marks or wear!
I still gave the machine the usual Alex treatment, of course and it came up beautiful, I think you'll agree.
The U1104 was a design originally used by model U1036, which came out in 1977...A restyled version of the 1970s U1012, (the later 1346 model Junior) to keep with the times, as the Junior 1346/U1012 was beginning to look dated, by the start of the 1980s!
The U1036 and U1104 Juniors are identical in all but colour...This style of Junior had a more modern square type of handle and a combined handle release/power button.
This style of Hoover Junior, although beginning production in the late 1970s, is known to many collectors as "the 80s Juniors". The 80s Juniors were available in several colours and also came in Dirtsearcher variants too! Junior model U1104 had many colour schemes of its own, while using the same model number...Confusing! This Particular U1104 model is one of the earlier colour schemes they did...Cream with a floral brown/cream bag (typical 80s!)...I wish I knew the official colour scheme name.
Despite there being several models of this style Junior...Regular soft bag, (like seen here) soft bag dirtsearcher and hard box versions, known as the "High Power Compact"...The U1104 was to be the last model Hoover Junior, in its own right and ended its production in 1988.
Anyway, enough rambling...Here she is...She also has a new genuine bag and a new genuine belt.
Alex.
