Hoover Turbopower U2334 (July 1986)

[thekirbylover]

Got this of eBay for a steal of a price, this machine really makes no sense to me as it has some of the higher end features such as, bag light indicator, 2 speed motor and autoflex however it doesn't have a headlight which just confuses me, anyway here it is, this I believe was the 2nd generation of the Electricity board exclusive range, there was this and a Turbomaster in the same color scheme which i believe is Carmargue Grey and Charcoal Grey, (do correct me if I am wrong), anyway here it is my new phone has an appalling camera when it comes to lighting so i do apologize if the pictures aren't great.

Well packaged

The box was ridiculously over sized and is more the seize of a hanging garment carrier.

It is very dusty inside

A closer shot, as you can see the bigger brother Turbomaster is photobombing its way in

The brushroll must have been replaced at some point as the earlier ones such as this had all black, brown or blue brushrolls

That's lovely Michael, and good job cleaning it up. You're right, it was the second leccy board special, sold alongside the u1222 Turbopower Junior, which oddly enough did have a headlight.
