That wouldn't be very convenient would it?. ]

Well to me, yes it would, because pushing round a cleaner with all that strapped to the side doesn't strike me as overly convienient either. Especially when it serves only to store the tools, rather than allow them to be connected permanetly.

In fact the only cleaners which I thought ever looked fully at-home with on-board tools were the Electolux 600, Contour, and Hoover Turboower 2 & 3. Everything else looked to me like they'd been stuck on as an afetrthought.

they'd been stuck on as an afetrthought.

well, they were.

 

[vintagerepairer]

Exactly, in this instance they were.

 

[alexhoovers94]

sorry about the dim lighting, still looks very swish though!

Isn't that a great U.S. HOOVER?

Great look,  features,  suction.   Thanks for that nice video.  John

 

[alexhoovers94]

Thanks John, it is indeed a U.S made Hoover, I love Elites! Lightweight, powerful, stylish retro/modern look and much sturdier that the similar Turbopower that we got here in the UK at the time, the Elites are very robust in comparison.


 


I will say though that the hose suction on this Elite ll Total System is adequate but not as strong as a UK Turbopower Total System. I still prefer the Elite over the Turbopower, I think I always will.


 


Your welcome for the Videos.

I did find my hose suction improve when I used the style Y hepa synthetic cloth my vac store offers in their line. Not direct replacement, but on my Legacy it was perfect! Cuts back on the dust inside the hard cover a bit too.My smaller area rugs it lifts off the floor now too, so its a help for me.

 

[alexhoovers94]

Are they more Expensive? I was trying to find the synthetic style but couldn't find them.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I have tons of them

I find them  at thrift stores.  Everytime I see GENUINE Hoover bags,  regardless of style,  I buy them up. I stood in the factory where they were made.  I KNOW the workers who made them,  with U.S. pride,

 

[alexhoovers94]

It always has to be genuine HOOVER!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Yes,

indeed.

 

[alexhoovers94]

Haha, your Hoover factory looks as dull as our Hoover Factory in Scotland. I am sure it is everything but dull on the inside though


 


I am going a bit weak at the knees at the thought of going in there back in the 90s and being surrounded by Elites!


 


 

 

[gottahaveahoove]

That was the bag plant only

Inside.......

 

[gottahaveahoove]

The "main factory".

Where legends were made.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Hoover International

attached to the old building. This is the building that controlled Perivale, etc.....

 

[alexhoovers94]

Wow John it is stunning!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Thanks, it truly is!

And,  how lucky am I.... that I got to run around the entire place numerous times,  with Tom,  of course.  Tom Who?  Tom Anderson.  Who else?
