Hoover Vortex V2001 (June 2000)

Now to start the polish and re assemble.

 

[thekirbylover]

Chassis attached as well as the newly oiled/greased brush roll bearings and a brand new belt.

 

[thekirbylover]

Filter cover on.

 

[thekirbylover]

Newly washed bin attached.

 

[thekirbylover]

Newly washed filter, I was very surprised at just how much dirt this can hold, it now looks virtually brand new.

 

[thekirbylover]

Here it is all fully assembled, as you can see its next to PurePower which this machine was heavily based on.

 

[thekirbylover]

After its first initial test run I am pleased to report that everything works the way it should, here is what I got from my landing carpet.

A front view after refurb all it needs now is a good wax.

 

[thekirbylover]

Sowing the various hoover propaganda used on the body to advertise the features, as well as displaying the Hoover branding name all down the side.

 

[thekirbylover]

Top handle.

 

[thekirbylover]

Again the top handle.

 

[thekirbylover]

And finally last but not least a rear view, showing the stretch hose and the onboard tools.

Wow, you did a great job cleaning that thing up.

 

[beko1987]

That looks great. I saw that auction, are you going to strip that Turbopower down in the same way? That TP is damn rare, be careful with it!

I'm amazed that vortex hasn't done it's motor in by now with all that dust! Mine was 70% cleaner when I got it yet the motor was knackered!

Nice job though, 3 more to go...

@ralph123 and @beko1987 yes I am in the process of refurbing it now dont worry it is being handled with care, I have done a thread of it in the vintage section.

Looks brilliant. Very well done. This is exactly what I would have done (and have done) as well!
