This is a video re-make using my webcam. Pretty nice vacuum. It has the tool connection port, but I don’t have tools.

Very nice hoover, I love how Hoover had the good idea to put a light on the base :). Made it much easier to see the corners of the room!
@jmurray01 Thanks. I believe most Hoovers had their lights that way. I’ve always loved the older Hoover headlights. The newer ones look like all the other vacuums out there. Really generic.
@fgbags Yeah, over here in the UK most uprights don’t have lights, their only an option with hoovers here.
@jmurray01 Seems like Hoover still offers lights on most of their machines over here, but I’ve noticed cheaper machines such as Bissell are no longer offering lights, not even as an option. Home and business lighting has advanced in recent time, therefore eliminating the need for headlights, and therefore keeping vac costs down. As a collector, the headlight is my favorite feature on vacs.
Hello youtuber! This is a lovely machine, can these models still be purchased Brandnew? I live in England and i have a hoover Elite II in new condition, featured in the film ‘ Mrs Doubtfire’ With Robin Wiliams. They are such versatile machines its awesome, so lightweight.
@mosesanderson7 Hello there! A version of the Elite is available in the Commercial line of Hoover vacuums. Its black with a black bag and an orange cord. Elites are great vacuums, powerful and lightweight. Nice suction, even at the hose.
@fgbags Hoover was the first vacuum with a light
@lucasmollet Yes, but what year???
@fgbags 1932
@lucasmollet Very nice, u know ur Hoovers!
@fgbags I would have to say the one we had (favorite model too, preferred) suddenly broke into pieces and stopped working… We had that for 12 years though
@lucasmollet Yeah, that happens to platic-based models. Gotta be careful bout ramming it into furniture. Also store them indoors where it’s climate-controlled, rather than outside in a garage.
fgbags-Hello again youtuber! since my last message to you i have purchased a BrandNew Hoover Elite 2 Vacuum Cleaner, its awesome and working great. I have a concern with it though,i noticed for the first time today that the top of the motor plastic casing bellow the hood which houses the motor wires has a small crack/ split in it. Are you able to tell me if this will be ok or will i need to seal it? how should i repair the cracked plastic e.g. with electrical tape maybe?
@mosesanderson7 Hey there. Well, if it’s brand new out of the box I would take it back, but if it’s old and just “new to you” I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Just make sure there’s now way for any wires to get pinched. Also, make sure the crack isn’t in the fan chamber where the dirt travels through the machine. This will cause a really big dirty mess inside the motor housing.
@lucasmollet That is a very common problem. The very first vacuum I ever found was an Elite 350 15+ years ago and it had that problem. I was able to get the part used for a couple dollars and got it back online again.
Hey, do you have the hose rack for the Elite??? If not, I have an extra from the runabout parts, because I decided to put the side mount-attachments from the Preferred on there
@lucasmollet I dont. I didn’t even know it had one. I would love to have one for it, since it is rather a pain to keep up with the hose and all its accessories.
@fgbags I’ll send it to you when I get the chance
@lucasmollet Sweet. I appreciate that 🙂
@diabeticdoode Thanks 🙂
@fgbags one of my favorite hoovers except the whole head assembly moves up and down instead of just the brushroll
