I love these so much, my Mum went through so many, we started with this one them the blue autoflex, the turbo junior was upstairs then came the 2332 think she had 4 of those, and the 2336 which always fell apart ( quicker than the others ) then as new models were relaeased she bought them, total systems and turbomasters. They were the best thing in our house for the dog hair, the hoover was never unplugged and got used countless times a day, first thing in the morning, after breakfast, every time we walked in the door as the dog was in the lounge, before dinner, after dinner before bed etc etc. They got used a lot in our house, she misses her turbopowers
We had one in our family for 13 years until 1995. As you mentioned, the folding cable clip broke, but I improvised a new one. It the flexible hose in the base broke eventually, along with the motor bearings. It was replaced with a Sebo X3 (later succeeded by a Sebo X4) due to my asthma requiring better air filtration. My mom still uses the extension wand for the turbomaster as well as the one from an earlier Hoover Junior for the floor attachment. A great cleaner for its day.
My son is a huge fan of your videos! We visited the Hoover Family Museum in Canton, Ohio and we received a little tape measure replica of this vacuum that is one of my son's prized possessions. He enjoyed seeing the real thing in action on your channel.
A very decent example for its age, this particular model was manufactured in December 1984, so it is a pretty early one. They were a lovely quality, the original line of Turbopower range. It sounds okay to me, bearing wise, it sounds a little off balance, it either needs a new suction fan or there is a lot of dirt build up on the cooling fan, or both, both of these things will throw the motor off balance and cause vibration and rattling. It is definitely fixable, they are easy to work on, so should be a fun project.
That wheel can be fixed with epoxy as well, build it up into a hardened fill. noisy motor and short spin-down after turning off suggests the motor & brushroll also has dry bearings. there's no reason at all to replace the motor. replace the brushes polish the armature, fresh grease or oil where needed, done.
Our family (in the states) had a square boxed teal colored Hoover canister Vacuum from 1957 I believe. You could hook up the hose to the bottom of the machine and use it as a blower. Our family used it clear into the 1970s. I’m ashamed to admit that I threw it out in 2014 even though it was in sad shape. I wish I had at least turned the toggle switch to see if the motor still ran on it. (I’m betting it still ran) If it were me today, I would’ve tried to sell it online for parts. Are you familiar with the exact model I’m talking about?
Great Video Roger 👌😊 Did the later Turbopower's have a built in hose and tools? I seem to recall the one that my late nan and grandad on my biological dads side of the family had when I was a kid in the 90's, having a built in hose. Also was it only later ones that had bag full indicators too?
Hey Roger Could you please tell me which upright vacuum cleaner is currently the best one to buy right now. A family member Bought a Shark corded upright [NV602UK] the blue one.
