Hoover 825.. A Dream Machine Found

[vacguy77]

Hey guys!! So I finally found a machine I've been looking for for a long time today. A Hoover 825. It's in okay shape, but it needs some help. The bag is ripped open and the brushroll is toast! Anyone have any extra parts for these? I'd like to find the original bag (I know that's a long shot) or a bag that looks good on it. The handle grip, plug, original cord, and bumper seem to be in good shape, and I think with a good cleaning and polish it will look pretty good. Here are a few pics.

Awesome! I love my 825, the light-up Hoover logo is my favorite feature. Best of luck in finding the parts you need, it's certainly worth the hunt!

brush roll

Thats a nice machine, the brushroll ,actually does'nt look that bad,brushes show up on ebay,you need the curved ones,diecast,held in place by one small screw..Easy to wirebrush the beater bar,and easy to clean ,and lube the brushroll bearings (on each end),just uscrew the end caps,and there they are. GOOD LUCK, ! CodyJ

The brush strips for the 825 are straight die cast aluminum that snap into place, and are reversible for wear. I think I have an extra set I can spare. The agitator on the 825, much like the 700s, is massive compared to the 60 series. I'll send you a message.
