U2662 Turbopower Freedom

The bag was replaced by a filtration system, contained in the upper part of the front panel, with a dust collecting box in the lower part...

U2662 Turbopower Freedom

as can be seen in the above picture and the one below, the system wasnt actually that good at retaining dust, with a proportion of dust sucked in by the cleaner, escaping through the filter and back into the atmosphere - hence the nice layer of sust on the grilles in front of the filter.

The filters were fiddly to fit and any inaccuracies in the fitting would produce gaps, with consequential leakage of dust.

The Permabag system will be covered in greater detail, when we reach the Turbomasters!

U2716 Turbopower Boost

The next model number was actually the mid range machine in the 1991 series, boasting the ability to bosst the power of the machine.

The colour was Stellar White, which unfortuantely goes to cream over time....

U2718 Turbopower Boost

with Autoflex!

This was the next model up and was the machine that sold beneath the top of the range Freedom U2662...

U2724 Turbopower

Next was the budget machines, starting with the primitive U2724 and its 450watts of power, rather than the U2716/U2718's 575watts.

The colour scheme was Stellar Red...

U2798 Turbopower

Big jump in model numbers (for some reason) takes us upto the Total System version of the U2724.
Colour scheme was Stellar Red and Dijon Grey.

Apologies for the spine down the middle of the photo...

Back to U2602 briefly

Just a note again on this model:
the U2602 Total System was still in production and appeared in the brochures alongside the 1991 series of models and remained on sale into the mid 90's.
 
U2806 Turbopower version1

This model replaced the U2724 in the mid 1990s and, in its Venus Blue and Dijon Grey version, was the last modification to the CORE range of models....

U2806 Turbopower version2

In Stellar Red and Dijon Grey, this was the Mail order only version of model U2806 and came with a complimentary box of tools.
The machine below is virtually as new and came in its original box...

U2864 - mystery model

I dont have a photo of this model and know little of it, other than that it appeared in Stellar White and Dijon Grey.
 
U2866 Turbopower (Total System)

In Venus Blue and Dijon Grey, I am fairly sure that this was an Argos exclusive model...

U2872 Turbopower (Total System)

In unusual Aubergine and Dijon Grey, I have an inkling that this was another exclusive model, but sold through which outlet is a mystery...
