Here she is, the Hoover Concept Two Electronic, after some major cleaning. Other than being filthy, it ran perfect. I'm almost used to the powerdrive now, lol...

And the cute little Help-Mate, wich actually picks up very well after I tossed the filter in the washing machine and used weatherstripping to make a new seal.

You lucky bastard!
I have wanted one of those since I was a little kid and saw one in a magazine advert. And here you find one left by the curb! Congratulations! It is a fantastic machine.

No you take the cord off the vacuum and plug it into the dustbuster.

That detachable cord can be a curse in the secondary market. Because it detaches, it sometimes gets lost.

These machines came in a variety of trim, just like the Concept One. There is a Concept One in about this same scheme, I think it's the Model U3315. Bag fabric's a little different. Fine plaid on the Concept One; looks like stripes on the Concept Two.

I've got a number of Concept Ones but so far have steered around the Twos. I don't want to complicate my life overly.

Helpmate Filter

Hi All,

I have a Concept Two but the help mate filter is coming apart and I can't find one. Any tips or suggestions.

My best friend has a Concept II, and I told him that I wanted it, and he said I could have it but it would cost me a Kirby, thought about it for a second, and politely said no, LOL.
