Here is my Hoover Elite which I got shipped over from the U.S because I have wanted to get my hands on one of these for a while, especially with this arrangement of on-board tool storage.
These were never sold over here, well, we got the "Turbolite" also known as the "Elite 200" in the U.S...The "Commercial Dual Purpose" and "Professional Dual Purpose", which were basically the American "Legacy" hard box cleaners and the "Maytag upright with removable tool rack" which in the U.S was called the "Caddy Vac" apart from that we didn't get any other Elite based cleaners.
I am fascinated with the Elites for a reason I can not describe. They are such nice cleaners to use and I think they just look really cool.
This one was sold as "spares or repair" on eBay as it was in pieces with no motor, I messaged the seller asking him about the motor and he said it works but the fan is smashed, so I said "oh just ship that over too and I will just get it a new fan. when I unboxed it the motor was missing it's casing and fan casing but luckily I has a spare, so that was ok. Sure enough that was wrong with the motor...The broken fan and I am not kidding, there were 2 blades left of it!! After I cleaned it all I put a new fan on the motor, reassembled it and now it runs like a dream.
The headlight lens was missing when I received it, but the seller said he found it (behind his microwave) and sent over to me, so it is now complete.
And here it is...
