1991 Hoover Elite ll Total System Performance 430

[alexhoovers94]

The Elite that I have talked about in previous threads but thought I would start a new one since it is all cleaned up.  Sorry if this annoys anyone.


 


Anyway here are the Photos of it in all it's glory. It has been fully disassembled, plastic parts washed and dried, motor bearings greased (they were very dry) re-assembled and polished. It is roaring to go now. I love it! I still can't believe I finally got one, The one vacuum I have been longing for, for years!


 


Here we are anyway.

I like the white tools against the grey body.

I never did see the point in on-board tools where you had to attach the hose to use it. Might just as well kept them in a bag rather than push them round with you. Great looking cleaner though.

Dual Purpose? What does that mean?

"Might just as well kept them in a bag rather than push them round with you."


 


That wouldn't be very convenient would it?.

 

[alexhoovers94]

The on-board tools, I do like plugging the hose in and hear the motor change in tone.

Brushroll, this has the older style with one row of brushes and one row of "beater bar"

Rating sticker...

Of course it is 1991, an early Elite ll! 5 amps and made in USA!

And Finally I could not leave you without showing this!

Any guesses?! lol.

Dual Purpose is the upright bit and the hose bit. 2 cleaners in one

Ah, the Mrs Doubtfire pose! When do we see a video of you recreating it?? Simple, light and VERY effective cleaners, should have kept making them. Seeing your refurb made me take apart my Legacy/Dimension and go over again. They make nice everyday use, machines, just handy/ comfortable to use.Mine uses the style Z bags, hard cover outside. The modern Y bags for the windtunnel, synthetic fiber work well on mine, better airflow I think. Enjoy the machine! Great work!

lovely you did a great job on it as usual

 

[alexhoovers94]

Thanks Suckolux

I am pleased that I am giving off inspiration, (good job it is not perspiration).


 


Me and my friend Mike did do a video a while ago recreating the dance but with the Turbolite (Elite 200) and yes that was me in the dress!! It was fun to do, would of looked better with the proper model. need to do that again sometime!


 





 


I do like these cleaners very much and I agree, they are light, great performers and very nice to use. Oh speaking of Legacy's I bought one recently, Legacy Supreme, it is in a lovely green colour with a very interesting tool caddy, that should be coming tomorrow, I only bought it on Monday last week! So, hopefully, there will be less drama with the courier this time around.

I had watched that video of yours! Yes, remake please! I hope the cleaner arrives in one piece and is a nice surprise to open.

 

[alexhoovers94]

I will probably do at some point, next time I am at his house. I am sure it will be a lovely surprise, never had a Legacy.
