Hey everyone, here is my rare Hoover Turbolite from March 1989...I got this off eBay for only £9.99 and it is in good condition and it runs very well, the cleaner head is a little yellow which didn't show up in the pictures, which I guess is a good thing!
The Turbolite is the exact same cleaner as the Hoover Elite 200, which it is more commonly known as in America. We had two models of the Turbolite here in the UK, both looked identical, one was the U4527 (this one shown) and the other was the U4529 which came with a set of pan converter tools unlike the U4527 which the pan converter tools were available as an optional extra.
I have been after one of these for a while and my main dream cleaner to be found now is the burgandy, American Elite ll with the side mounted wrap around hose...It just looks SO cool!!
Here it is anyway...

It did bleed a little due to the material the bag is made from.
They probably think that there is hardly any owners of these cleaners now. I suspect you are right, probably eldrerly people would of bought them or people who wanted to buy into the Hoover brand (at the time, who wouldn't?) but couldn't afford one of the higher end Hoovers I.E the Turbopower/Turbomaster Total Systems...These cleaners are indeed very ligh, almost as light as an Oreck (but of course MUCH better!) I weighed it with the cord on it and it came in at 11 pounds.
