Hoover U1050

Hi All,

Here's a Hoover that's not a Hoover this was the first upright on the Australia market after the Hoover plant here in Sydney stop production of all floorcare in 1994. It's made in China, the same machines where on the market under the Airflow brand as well just in different colours.

They where only on the market for a couple of years.

This marked the end of Hoover in Australia as we know it.

Looks like a National Panasonic Jetflo, in itself not a bad cleaner.

but as you said, just not like a proper Hoover.

you beat me there Ian. It screams Jet-flo. Does it have a hose port on the back?

 

[ian88]

Probably does, or on board tools..either way its a ripoff lol.

Incidently I notice a lot of commercial Panasonic uprights still are jetflo style.

Betco Jet-Flo

I found this Panasonic with the name Betco on it. It's clearly just a re-labled Panasonic but it's the first time I've seen one. It's built like a tank with the metal bottom plate and commercial cord.
