I have just come into one of these from a vac shop basement and it is missing the fan. Would a genuine Hoover Junior fan work in one of these. I don't want to buy one and find out it doesn't fit.

Mike, good luck in getting the Robot upright fixed.
Ya know, I have found that machine fascinating since Kirbyloverdan posted in his thread years ago that he had one! I have to wonder why it was so short lived? One would think with it being a Hoover Junior clone, and how popular and well regarded it was, that the Robot would have sold like hotcakes and done well.

I would love
To see a picture of this machine! I remember seeing a Robot Millennium water vac for sale locally years ago, should have grabbed it

Jake Stockinger, I don't think the company behind the Robot water filtration canister vacuum and the one who made the Robot upright are the same. I remember the logo used on the Robot upright is different than the one on the Robot canister.

Gotcha
Wasn't sure, but would still like to see the machine in question

It appears a good design was ruined by low quality plastics. That's probably why they never survived. The top cover is so flimsy, I feel like it would shatter just by looking at it. It's like comparing the Regina Housekeeper to the Electrolux uprights of the day.
The switch broke, so I replaced it with a genuine Hoover part hence the red button instead of the gray one.

Finally have an update on this oddity.
2 months ago, I placed an order for 3 metal Junior fans on eBay and the seller shipped ones for to fit a Model 63. Turns out they never had the right ones even though there was a picture of them at some point. I recently went to the Henry Company in Indiana to purchase some parts and found the correct fan in a box of uncategorized things. Steve saves the day once again! The unit is finally back together and running. I'll post pictures later this week.
