UK Hoover Juniors with "Blow" option

[electrolooks]

Hi All

I have just seen a photo of a UK Hoover Junior (I think it was a U1334E ?) with its tools connected up. There is an adaptor which seems to allow the hose to connect to the bottom fill pipe in the bag. This looks as if it will convert the air flow to BLOW rather than suck.

Is this correct ?
Which UK "Juniors" have this facility ?
Where can I get a second hand toolkit that includes this adaptor ? (All tool kits for other Juniors dont seem to have this particular tool)

Thanks

Blow Adaptors

Were available for Seniors and Juniors - possibly the same part in both cases. I do not recall seeing it in any brochures from the mid 1960s onwards. In the case of the Junior the hose may have been connected in reverse (with the hose handle connected to the adaptor) - at that time the Senior had the hose removeable from the adaptor and used essentially a short version of the hose handle to connect to it. All previous Seniors had adaptors to connect to the cleaner where the bag connected and of course with the Junior you just had to remove the bag and attach the hose in its place.

These do show up from time to time on ebay, just a matter of patience

HI Vacbbear

Thanks for the help.

If anyone that is UK Based has a set of tools for a Hoover Junior that includes this large "blow adaptor", could they get in touch with me please ?

Hi Again Chaps

I am still looking for a set of tools for a Hoover Junior, that include this adaptor to make the hoover into a "blow" setting. Does anyone know which models of the Junior had this adaptor included. Ie..a list of them. And what the adaptor itself was called please ?

I am willing to pay a good price for anyone that can provide an adaptor !

Thanks

The original dusting tools for the rose and white Hoover Junior 1334 had the adapter for the hose to fit in the dust bag tube. After the 1334 came the 1334A where the hose slotted straight into the bag tube without the need for the adapter . I have the original dusting tools for the 1334 and the adapter is in the set as the bag tube for the 1334 is smooth with no cutout for the later models for the hose to clip in

Like vacbear 58 has commented you have to be very patient and wait until a set of the original dusting tools for 1334 comes up on Ebay. I waited for quite a while until a set came complete with the blower adapter

Hi Garlee

Thanks for the info.

Do you know if the hose if comes with, will fit directly onto the bag fill tube on a Hoover SENIOR 652a ?

I am sooo keen to get either a Junior or a Senior with this "blow" option !
