Hoover Junior U1650

He he once paid for I move on, and have a nice surprise


 


Nearly didn't get it at all as it got delivered to work, as all my machines do and it turned up 15 minutes before I left!

The air fresheners stopped in the mid 90s I think. My 1994 and 5 ones don't have the air freshener. I'll put the rebuild pics up in a bit, it has a very different motor in it!

I thought this was interesting lol.

 Watch "SHAKE n VAC" on YouTube


SHAKE n VAC:

Shake N Vac is not the same - at least Hoover's disc air fresheners don't clog up motors. Shake n Vac is evil stuff. Good fun music and dance but that's all it is good for, IMHO.

I used 3 bottles of shake and vac in one go with my DC07

And nothing happened! I just got a cloudy bin though, no loss of suction!

 

[sebo_fan]

Well, nothing has happened yet

Unfortunately for others online, it seems that the DC07 and other vacs seem to have a problem with the FDC seal.

Yet why do guarantees become invalidated when the warning of Shake n Vac is given?

 

[parwaz786]

Well, I never experienced anything, my Dc07 is an excellent machine in out multi floored terraced 3 story house with 5 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, 1 front room, a conservatory, and it copes with all floors! I am going to buy another DC07 and a Kirby G5

Ryan I don't think using Shake 'n' Vac every once in a while will harm a vacuum cleaner but not all the time and I certainly would not want to use it for a bagless! What a mess!

 

[beko1987]

I used Shake and Vac once with my U2604 when my daughter was sick on the carpet...

The old turbopower got it up well, and the carpet smelt great for the rest of the week until I could shampoo it at the weekend, but the TP was plastered in the stuff! Still is actually as I havent refurbed it yet, not even turned it on!

Tayyb - take the top handle off the cyclone and see if it's plastered the inside of the cones. That's how it starts!

From Hoover Turbopower U2334

Picked this up yesterday from freecycle. Should help me troubleshoot my U2334 that doesnt seem to want to make its motor work after a refurb! Wet is from my run to the house from the car, was tipping it down!

And, here is a video of the U1650 after a rebuild. Can fully strip and re-grease the top bearing on the amtek motors which is nice! Still very loud though!

 

[sebo_fan]

Lordy, that is loud!

Is there no possibility of adding sound insulation to the TP, Beko?

 

[alexhoovers94]

I love the styling of that VERY last Tutbopower Junior, although if I got one I would find an original 400 watt motor for it

 

[beko1987]

I did think about putting an older 400w motor in but A - I havent got a spare, and B it would ruin the originality! It's not too unbearable in real life tbh.

Sound deadening could possibly be added I suppose, not sure what it would do to heat build up though!
