Anyone know anything about this poor old Discovery - its only got a penny bid on it?


I think it could be an early bagless? 


Roger? I know you had something similar - have you experienced this model?

That Discovery looks to be a bagless model. These went on sale in 2001 in the UK. I have added that to my watch list.

 

[madabouthoovers]

I am wondering what type of separation system it uses - or whether its like a plastic box with a foam filter on the back, or whether its like the permabag material used in the Turbopower 2 Permabags.


Googling the model number returns next to nothing about this model, which is probably why there is no interest in it.

 

[hi-loswitch98]

I think it uses a Dust Box with Foam Filter at the back, at the time Cylinder cleaners (apart from Dyson ones) used this type of dust separation.

 

[madabouthoovers]

I had a feeling that might be the case. I think I will have to leave that one, as I just don't know enough about it yet. If it was a bagged machine it might have got more interest. I cant see the seller letting it go for a penny either, so she'll probably pull the listing soon if it gets no bids.

 

[hi-loswitch98]

This is the model called the 'Ecobox' because the box in the picture says Ecobox. This is a later model.

 

[madabouthoovers]

Yes I saw that one, but its a 2000W not a 1700W.


There is no manual to download off Hoover's website either. Candy must have destroyed them all for the older machines.


 


It looks like the predecessor to the Sensory

 

[hi-loswitch98]

I am tempted - but not sure because it might not receive any interest. This was probably one of the last decent Hoover Cleaners because this was made in Europe.

 

[madabouthoovers]

The problem is that the seller has put up no photos of the machine, but she may do if it doesn't sell first time round. Again, I predict she will pull the item if it gets no more interest rather than let it go for a penny.

I have placed the bid on the Discovery! Don't know anything about it but the 'Made in EC' caught my eye. If it was chinese I wouldn't even pay a penny for it!

 

[madabouthoovers]

lol - I'd ROFL if you end up getting that for a penny, and I end up paying £400 for the Sebo C3.1. I think it could be worth putting a tenner on all the items that have no bids - got to be worth a punt! The only one I deffo wouldn't want is that Hoover Studio - tiny little things they are lol


 


I'm wondering about the Panny upright for £30 - the only thing is it finishes on Easter Sunday when I am away visiting family.

I had a bagless discovery once and it had a horrible thick blue dust box that clogged in seconds. Shame becauseI quite liked it until the suction dropped off to comical levels!

That zorbster is a beauty!

 

[madabouthoovers]

That would make sense as I saw a blue plastic box on google for this model

 

[hi-loswitch98]

That box looks tiny!

 

[madabouthoovers]

The T5603 Telios - is this the one without the power slider control - I've a feeling it is - anyone know?

[hi-loswitch98]

I think it is, yes

 

[beko1987]

That's the box. Was great for a few minutes before every pore blocked. Never did get clean after either.

A bagged model would be much better!
