You're probably right about my error, it was some time ago now.
The Turbo head was also available for Hoover 'Alpina' cylinder cleaners too.
I had the 'Alpina Tria 3', a Currys exclusive model with remote control on the power hose, and a power take-off socket on the handgrip for the power head.
My model had a habit of misreading the power +/- signal and would suddenly surge with power when you tried to lower the power. There was no automatic setting, but there was a 'Boost for a few seconds' button.
I found the hose incredibly heavy and awkward to work with, so I sold it on.
When I first bought the cleaner and unpacked it, the 'glamour' disc on one of the wheels promptly fell off. It had never been properly fitted.
