Here's my Hoover turbopower which I got off eBay a little while ago for only £6.00 :O the seller had described it very well as being in good clean condition which it was and only really needed a wipe down and a once over with Mr Sheen, she even put a new bag in it, unlike my Turbo 2 which they left a half full bag in!

This one runs fine, as you would expect it to because, well, it is a Hoover! And I even have the optional cleaning tools that were available, needless to say I did buy these separately and wasn't included in the auction.

All It needed was a new headlight bulb, bags and belts but apart from that, that was replacements it needed, in addition it did and still does have a damaged right rear wheel, not sure if replacement wheels are still available?

Anyway here are some pictures of it.

The activator brush roll, this combined with the dirty fan motor is what actually made the turbopower, "turbo" in the first place.

The cleaning tools attached which by the way I also paid £6.00 for, so £12 in total to complete the machine.

What a great machine, you really cleaned it up well!
What is the tool suction like?

Hi Jake,

yh it did come up nice, there are a few scratches but that is to be expected really.
The tool suction is not as bad as you would think actually, aparently it is better than on the total system turbo's but it is definatly enough to pick things up.

Alex
