Hoover Concept 2 Electronic.

[cap10323]

Hey There everyone.. It's cap10323 From YouTube Again..

Recently, I inherited a Vacuum From my GrandParents as they were moving and gave us a ton of stuff Including a Hoover Concept 2..

I'm Just wondering what information there is out there on this vacuum.. I don't do much with vacuums other than vacuum my house so You can see where I'm coming from here..



Here are some things I have noticed:

The Dust Buster is Just like a "Hoover Help mate" I have Down the basement (Actually Got 2 of them from a friend) But with a cord Plugin..

It's not self propelled.. Which Sucks.. As it weighs as much as a buick

The Electronic speed control is Pointless

Here it is Next to my House vacuum.. Which is a Hoover Concept One.. It's Worn out, Broken.. Has had new transmissions out of newer "Hoover Power Drive" Machines.. New Brush roll Strips, bearings etc.. It's built like a tank and Completely un-killable

The Concept 2 doesn't work as well as the concept one.. But I'm guessing that's because the Brushroll strips are worn down.. So I ordered some more.. Hopefully that fixes the cleaning issues..

Cheers

Concept is a hard machine to kill or beat in carpet cleaning.Self propelled is nice to have, thank god mine does.

Cool find. I've never seen an electronic one without powerdrive before. They will give you big arm muscles.

Models

From what I've seen.. They made an unbelievably wide model range.. All different colors/configurations..


Here is a Video on the Concept one.. Before I did the Transmission swap and before I knew anything about the Quadraflex system.. I Bought some brush strips for it as well... Even though they aren't worn.. just for backup..

Where did you find brushes? I thought they were obsolete.

I found some Vac place in Canada.. They are $2.50 for a set of aftermarket Brush strips.. They also make complete brushrolls which are about $50 and Available on Amazon.

I had no Idea they were obsolete.. Guess that's why my Local vacuum store Laughed at me when I asked..
