Ok so I never heard or saw one of these until I watched fumestuno video and found out how rare they were and had to have one. I have been on ebay everyday since I first watched that video and the ebay gods answered my call a week ago. It was made in the UK which is perfect given my British heritage but it is not the most durable machine out there. It is really heavy at the front of the nozzle. But it perfroms well and has good airflow and suction and is relatively quiet compared to the Elites. Very neat machine over all and hoover should have kept the bare floor/carpet switch but it did not return to their uprights until the self propelled windtunnel. Enjoy
they are neat, my aunt used to have an innovation electronic. Same machine but a hard body bag shell with variable speed
Yea I saw that but I was not sure if they were only in Europe. I have the feeling that this was the only model that got sent to the US market.
AWESOME…..I was wondering if this gem would end up on youtube eventually!
It looked to be in mint condition, where as mine has definately been around the block….LOL
Actually she was a little HO.. She had her handle broken and the power surge sticker fell off which was most likely a result of the break. She also came with a seized bearing, had hair burnt inside the bearing!!! not the best smelling thing in the world. But nice otherwise
i almost bought that one
This kinda reminds me of an early 90’s Hoover Elite and late 80’s Panasonic Jet Flo.
I can see how it reminds you of an Elite but a Jet Flo???
Jet Flo because of the on/off brushroll.
oh ok, thats the only thing I could find in common with the Jet Flo.
I FINALLY GOT ONE, mine has the gray bag! Its amamzing, I was told the gray one is hte hardest to find but idk. itss soooooooooo nice
Congrats. I’m not sure of the rarity of that color bag either. Where did you get yours?
I restaurant. I was going to offer the guy money for it, but he wasn’t there, but one of the employees snuck it out for me
WOW talk about luck
Instead of a Quadraflex agitator, we get an Elite Brushroll.
well i like this one a little better
Got yourself a storming machine there. I own the UK equivilant of that machine,in a light shade of blue. Also own 4 other Turbomasters, as they are known in tyhe UK.
Can you solve amystery for me? What is the ‘U’ model number of your machine?
I am pretty sure that the US hardbag machine was model U5045, but dont know what your machine was.
cheers for posting your vid.
