Fantastic!!

That is on my "must have" list.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Or, a least

my "would like" list. I have a few Juniors,  but not one like that. Over here they were called the "apartment" vacuum.

Hi

I can never work out the date codes so don't know her age. It didn't even need cleaning. Purrs like a kitten.

 

[vacuumlover]

date

either 605 - 1986 May Or 605 - 1976 May

If im dating corretly

It is from 1976. Co-Op Exclusive cleaner. The mainstream model was brown & white, with handle grip and furniture guard in beige. Height adjuster and on-off switch was orange. Model U1016.

The U1034 has been assumed to have been exlusive to the Electricity Boards, but this is not so as they were still taking stock from Goblin at that time, under the Electra brand.

Hoover Junior

Hi guys and thanks for comments.

It's in such good condition I am not going to use it. I don't think she has ever used it. The agitator looks brand new. There are no scratches in sight.

What a shame Hoover stopped making these beautiful vacs.

What a shame Hoover stopped making these beautiful vacs.

Indeed, but they had to move with the times to stay in business unfortunately, and in the end they were ultimately acquired by Candy and everything went to hell in a handcart.

WOW THAT is amazing

 

[vintagerepairer]

Jamie, I was nodding in agreement at what you said until you got to the Candy part.

Hoover ruined their own name. Candy came in and bought what was left. You may not like what they have done, but without it there may not have been a Hoover name.

Many brands have long gone, and not just in electrical appliances. Hoover Europe had someone who wanted to buy it. Most don't.

Wow that looks mint! You don't see those very often in the states. I love the color combo.
