Hoover TurboPower Product Lineup

Brochure is Printed 11/01

Chase,

That brochure you have has a print date of 11/01 on it, to mean it was revised in November 2001.

We have a TurboPower 7000. I will snap a picture later. It has the powerdrive, embeded dirt finder, and 4 height settings. Sadly, it has not been the most reliable machine.

I love it! Please scan that brochure once you have a working scanner.

Wow, wonderful, I was trying to find a large picture of a TurboPower 4500 but couldn't, I really like those ones. That brochure is great. I used to have a brochure of the early series which would have had the Dimension Dirt Finder, Power Drive and PowerMax canister TurboPower models. I'm hoping its still at my parents house, I'll have to search for it when I see them over Thanksgiving.

Does anyone have a TurboPower 5000 or 6000 canister, preferably the S3577 model, I would love to have a picture of one of those on here!

I may've seen these vacuums when I was little.

 

[durango159]

Hi Director 12. In a way I would say you probably would have seen them at various stores. For the most part these models were dealer sold to include the Hoover factory stores-- I miss them However as I stated in descriptions Sears sold the TurboPower 5000 & 6000 canister in the 1990's, Boscovs, Kauffman's, Strawbridges and other May owned department stores also sold many of these models.

 

[director12]

I've heard of Boscovs when I was little, but never shopped there before.

My grandparents bought a TurboPower Caddy Vac at Fry's Electronics in 1999. I remember a few models sold at Sears in the early 2000s as well. Does anyone know if JCPenny sold these cleaners?

I don't know. I haven't visited J.C. Pennys in years. I never visited Frys Electronics before.

 

[durango159]

JC Penney sold very few vacuums in store. Most of what they have in the past decade has been on their website. I do not recall any particular models that they would have carried other than the Hoover Windtunnel bagless canister S3765.

My TurboPower 4000

I recently stumbbled across my HOVER TURBO POWER 4000 with MICRO FILTRATION and 20 cleaning effectiveness per amp! At 7.3 amps that's over 140 CEs! I'm careful to keep the pets away. Can anyone shed some light on this thing? I've found a number of other TP's but not the 4000. I'm not sure what the "micro filtration" is all about. The full bag indicator appears not to trigger until the bag is in danger of explosion. Suction is still very strong and attachment suction is surprisingly strong. Thanks for any info you can tell me.

 

[cuffs054]

The only manual I can find that comes close says the brush roll bearings are able to be oiled. This is way new to me! Can I tell be looking, turning, listening, when they need oil? What kind of oil should I use?

JCPenney

I have a J CPenney catalog with TurboPowers in it. In recent years the catalogs had very few vacuums and most were off-brands. I don't recall any vacuums displayed in-store until very recently, within the last year or few.

 

[cuffs054]

FoF, is it a current catalog? Do they show different models?

 

[jcste09]

Here is my

Turbopower lineup. Both found at Goodwill. The PowerDrive is missing the dusting brush but both work great.

 

[citroenbx]

this is in the U.K

 

[turbo500]

this is in the U.K

That's a Turbopower 2 and is in no way linked to the original UK Turbopower apart from it's name.

This is the original Turbopower line up from 1983.

 

[turbo500]

The use of the name "Turbopower" on the TP2, 3 and TP1000 actually really irritates me. The whole thing that made the cleaner "Turbopower" in the first place was the high power dirty fan motor combined with the newly designed activator brushroll. The TP2 is clean air, thus removing the "Turbo" part of the power really.

The only reason that the name was used is because the TP1 was the biggest selling cleaner for the best part of the 80's and Hoover wanted to keep associated with that name to continue the high sales.

 

[suctionselector]

Chris...

And what rubs even more salt into the wounds is Hoover's use of TurboPower on the new cleaners, completely thrusting the public's opinion of what once was a great cleaner, now just on cheap bagless rubbish.

 

[turbo500]

completely thrusting the public's opinion

I think the public opinion of Hoover went down the pan years ago, regardless of what they call their machines now. Plus, I highly doubt that the average public, with a few exceptions, will even remember that the Turbopowers were called Turbopowers.

 

[DesertTortoise]

The only Hoover vac I have ever owned is a U5133-940 Caddy Vac. I am interested in some of the canister Hoovers shown, or maybe a Futura or Dimension 1000, but have never once seen any of these. Are they better made and quieter than the Caddy Vac?

 

[super-sweeper]

The Dimension 1000 Electronic is as quiet as it gets!!
