Hoover Model 800 Demo 

Putting my 1935 Hoover Model 800 through the surface-litter pick-up test. I used:
- Rice and tea-leaves
- Cornflakes
- Roughly shredded paper
Several people requested I do some test-videos using my older Hoovers, but I bet you didn't think I'd subject my favourite cleaner to this sort of trial! I can just shake the bag out afterwards, and it's not like paper, rice or cornflakes are going to damage this behemoth!
And as you can see, it BREEZED through the tests! It puts many modern vacs to shame. I used twice as much paper as I did for any of the other cleaners I tested, too. If a 75-year old machine can pass these tests with such flying colours, it's just embarrassing for any modern cleaner which struggles!
