Hi, guys.

Recently been taking a trip down memory lane and came across the Premiere Mini 175. I am looking at a cheap one to add to me rather small collection. But, I haven't decided yet if I should buy one, this is where you guys come in.

If you own one of these machines, could you post the specs, a little review of it and a few images and if you have video footage, that'd be awesome!

Thanks in advance!

Jason

Hi Jason,

 

Welcome to the forum :)

 

I don't have much experience with Premier Mini products, but I have heard great things. Ryan (Ry_Ry87) will be able to help you out more. In the meantime, here is Ryan's video of the Premier Mini 175. 

 

Best wishes,

Chris

That's pretty good. I imagine the durability and strong suction power make these a great all-rounder for daily use. 

 

The Premier Mini is actually still on sale as the Premier Turtle Vac (see link). Still essentially the same vacuum, but a bit more jazzed up.

Hmm, seems rather nice. But, bit to violent on the eyes, for me!
Actually, the Premiere Mini and the Turtle Vac are partly related to Numatic Vacuums. Numatic parts will fit these interesting designs. So will the Hepa-Flo bags! Which is a bonus!

Still, great vacuum to have as part of your history. My Primary school had a Goblin Commander hardbag and a 2 Henrys. 

 

Feel free to have a nosey around my YouTube channel if you're interested :)

Thanks for the link to your YouTube channel, been looking for some new 'Vacuum' realted YouTube Channels.

It was a treat when the Cleaners let us use the vacuum cleaners. Was like getting the day off school because of snow!:)

If it's Numatic's you're interested in, you should check out James's channel - he's got some great machines :)

Ah Premiere Mini's. Superb little vacs. First came out in 1976 and have been in production ever since. They're not related to Numatic in anyway but the bags do fit which is handy because genuine Premiere bags aren't cheap. Up until about 2002 they had 35mm tools too. There was also a bigger version called the Maxi 275 but they're like hens teeth now. They get a bit noisy with age and being all-metal some are a bit rusty now so get a good one. They're ultra reliable though and last for years.

Premiere are very helpful though and can supply most parts new for them including new chrome tops which tend to get rusty with age.

Heres a pic of mine

heres quite an early one with the older 35mm pip fit tools. I'm pretty sure the ones at my school had white hose too to match the floortools

Post# 186501 , Reply# 14   6/20/2012 at 14:21 (4,298 days old) by ryry_87 (Earth)        

later ones were a little bit smaller and had a clip above the hose inlet

Thanks for the info and images, Ryan!
Oh, by the way, I commented on your Premiere Mini you made a while ago.

No worries, The one if the video is different one to the one i've got now. I spent an absolutely fortune doing that one up, it was a wreck when I got it. But Premiere supplied all the bits no problem at all. I always thought they looked a bit like this...

Post# 186510 , Reply# 18   6/20/2012 at 14:53 (4,298 days old) by Scaniabebe ()        

Haha! That looks more like the 1970s Hitachi.
Still, those Premieres are nice machines. Maybe you could make a video of the newest one you own. Would love to see the newer ones in action!


Post# 186511 , Reply# 19   6/20/2012 at 14:58 (4,298 days old) by ryry_87 (Earth)        

To be honest the newest one i've got is from 2002 I think. It's completely identical to the old ones. Same motor etc It's only when they got the single stage motor in about 2004 that they changed much

Don't personally like it, that much!

Still, a nice HD Video of it will be a pleasure to watch!:)

Hi mate I wish you a speedy recovery. i've been in and out of hospital recently with liver issues not brought about by excessive drinking I might add lol I'll do my best to keep this one going mate with any Premiere 175 related stuff I come across.

Ry-ry you refer to the Premier as having 35mm tools but my own recollection is that they were 30mm. This made them very easy to block up and buying attachments in that size was almost impossible. I recall well selling one customer an entire brand-new 32mm tool kit as I could not locate a new floor tool in that size and she'd found it cheaper to get a kit from me than she had getting a new floor tool from whoever she'd found was selling them.

yep you're completely right, i meant to say 30mm. i remember the caretaker trying to unblock one at school with a broom handle once lol

Premier .......

Hey Guys

The example Ryan posted about was mine but it went to live with him when I attempted to thin the herd a bit. I missed it and it was replaced with this which I found on Ebay for a bargain price. It is smaller than the metal base 175s but still pretty sturdy- this comes with Hepa filtration as well :)

Thanks for the kind messages, guys! I'm back, by the way!

Thanks for the infomation, and the barbie pink one, I think Nicole (my wife) would rather use a Hetty or a Henry instead of the Turtle! Just saying!;)

Yeah, hope you become better soon, too! It's not pleasent at all! Still, back to topic. I still get stomach cramps, but no where near as bad as before! I actually treated myself to a McDonalds after no food for almost a week.
