Color Hoover Junior 1354

Does anybody know if this Hoover junior color "turquoise" really existed?

Here's the closest one I could find. But no headlight.

Not in the UK but maybe abroad. I have seen a yellow one from Germany in the past. I suspect the colours in that picture are just incorrect. The UK had the pale blue 1354, brown U1016, and the dark blue Co-Op exlcusive. I am not aware of this style in any other colours in the UK. If theu existed then no one gave me one to repair.

yes they did exist

if i remember rightly they were sold only by the COOP and were called the chalenge later the colour changed to purple and the word challenge in gold letters would be next to the Hoover rouldel

Challenge was a name used by a catalouge company. The Co-Op wording was "Exclusive".

Hoover Dirtsearcher...1354a

Hi AJ, a warm welcome from the UK, never seen that colourway even as an exclusive, was done in the turquoise green colourway as the Hoover Junior, and as we all know the Hoover Colour Palette was very extensive across all sectors of appliances and countries of production so not saying you may find one abroad!!

This was my Nans 2nd vac, the local Electricity Board had one on special offer in 1973 for £27 guineas and included the tools as well, was such a good offer 3 other Aunties went and bought the same model!!

Although smaller than The Hoover Senior it had a direct connector which plugged into the fan chamber and sealed the fan providing an adequate amount of suction for the dusting tools!!

Hoover Dirtsearcher...1354a

Complete with tools fitted, a quadraflex hose, extension tube, dusting brush and crevice tool. Not forgetting the adaptor loops onto the belt, turning the handle lifts the belt off the pulley, which ironically I and all the people I know that had then never did - always seemed quicker to pull the belt off and avoid stretching it!!

sorry

vintagerepair i knew it was one of the two i just remember seeing a couple of them in that colour on a pile of trade ins at the COOP back in the mid 70s

The Canadian-market 110/120-volt Dirtsearcher Juniors were white with Atlantic Blue trim.

Color Hoover Junior 1354

Hey guys thanks for your answers. I know the junior 1346 in this color. I remember when I was about 7 or 8 years old (1980) a friens mum used to clean some neighbour appartements and I saw her once with this junior in that color but also with a head light (so it must have been a 1354A model, not a 1346). To bad I left my childhood long time ago behind me, otherwize I would have ask her where she got her Hoover

@chestermikeuk thanks for the images. you have a great collection and I love looking through your photos on flickr! I see you're also a fan of Swiss V-Zug washing machines. They're good, I have a V-Zug Adora S in our househol too!
