Additions to my collection

[vacbear58]

Here at Casa Kerr there have been a lot of new additions, here are some of the more modern ones, wanna see?

Lets kick off with (almost) the last in a classic Hoover line

 

[vacbear58]

Hoover Powerplus Dustcup

The "Cleaning Ensemble

 

[vacbear58]

Hose Connected

The tools are all a dark brown colour, as opposed to black with was more common at this time (1984) or cream - late 1970s - early 1980s. Even with a pan connector a suction regulator seems a bit much....

Side on

It was a long time since a British domestic (as opposed to commercial) Hoover upright used a spring to suspend the bag. Note how close the cable grips are

Dust Cup Close-up

I could only laugh when I saw this - it too me right back to the 612 & prior - shaking the bag out on a news paper

Hoover Compact

This cleaner did not need to much cleaning up - was this called the Spirit in the USA?

Compact

Compact with tools set up

The pistol grip is very simple, with just a suction release valve

Compact II

This was the follow up model - this is a BOL version - teh exclusive indicates that it was a special - proabably for electricity board shops

 

[vacbear58]

Simpler and more streamlined styling

..

 

[bagintheback]

I have never seen a UK dust-cup Hoover, and a floor dusting tool for a Senior? Very cool. Was it made before or after Candy got Hoover? I'm assuming the canister is a Hoover Spirit.

From the top

No cord rewind and no electronic control - like I said BOL

 

[vacbear58]

Sensortronic System 10

This was the larger cleaner line, again this is a BOL model. This was the follow up model range to our (European) equivalent of US Electronic 1000 series that sometimes pops up as POD

 

[vacbear58]

Side on

Again, simplified styling. Again, a very simple trigger handle

 

[vacbear58]

I got a Hoover Galaxy too

I remember being disappointed by this in comparison with the Constellation. This was a gift, gratefully received. Note push fit tools now and teh wands are much poorer quality than the earlier plastic versions

 

[vacbear58]

Close up

On rear. The large button is the cord rewind, top left button is On/Off the other "button" is a bag full indicator. Its quite powerful with 1000 watt motor and quite narrow wands

 

[vacbear58]

And finally for tonight

After all those Hoovers, an Electrolux - Model 610

 

[vacbear58]

This was

Electrolux's first attempt with on board tools, and nicely integrated they are too in my opinion. It is just missing the butterfly nozzle to clip onto the upper handle
