Hoover vortex
What a great find Jake, these machines look really cool! would love to get one eventually shame it doesn't have the hoover vortex logo.
Did these stop production just because dyson sued them?
these should of stayed in production, they were so much better at cleaning than the dc01 apparently.
Do you like it then? and is it good?

Hi Jake,
I'm with you I love the Vortex and all the models that came after it, here's a couple of pics of some of mine, I'm also lucky enough to have the first two true Vortex models brand new in box in my storage centre in Sydney...These are the one I have picked up while living in the UK.

I had that machine some time ago!
My local chemist had thrown it out, so I took the motor out of my then pure power so I could use it!
Dyson sued them as they had copied there technology. Personally i don't think it moved as much said as the dyson. The exhaust on the cyclone is small and restricts airflow.
But generally owners were crap with cleaning filters. I know a few who cleaned filter but not the shoud as it was hidden and is small in diameter so hair loved to wrap round it.
My aunt had a hurricane and when it was new I loved it because of how power it was! But because it didn't have the technology it lost suction half way round the house and it was a really dirty job to clean the filters. Also if you used the crevice tool for too long it would restrict the super suction too much and then cut out. I would take the tool of every few minutes to allow air through to cool the machine down. Also because it was so powerful it would suck the stair cleaning house flat. So again. Turn of shake the hose and start again. That machine had quite a few repairs under warranty!

They are really nice sturdy cleaners, nothing stops them from picking up the bits off the carpet and hardfloors.
ozhoover - I really love your collection of them, Let ME be the first to know if you have to sell anything, I would pay a decent price for a NIB so badly! Feel free to email me
Hehe
gottahaveahoove- Who wouldn't?
Baglessball- What was the filter set up like on the hurricane, was the filter above or below?

Both. It has the same pleated filter below the bin, and another that sits on top of the shroud. If I remember right you removed the bin, and then had to twist the shroud a quarter turn to remove it, the smaller pleated filter would be sat on top of the shroud with a inner foam liner. Fine dust would drop everywhere. It was such a messy vacuum to keep clean!

Personally I would chose the dyson for cleaning. DC01's and carpet only models have 3 rows of bristles instead of two. Which I have found has made quite a difference when shifting pet hair..
I do like the vortex. If I was choosing a model of vacuum with activator brushroll for cleaning carpet it would be a turbopower.

Hoover v Dyson
I preferred the Vortex over the DC01. The Hoover was more robust, the hose longer, the tools stayed on the cleaner, easier to empty, had handle lock.
The Which? magazine thought it performed effectively too.

I think its very hard to choose between the Dc01 and Vortex , they are almost at two very different ends of the table.
How about when I finish cleaning it out and replacing belts,brushes and filters I start a thread comparing the two on all points.
I might have just spotted another Hoover vortex of sorts for sale near me. I am deffinatly going to have to grab it!
