Sadly there's no instruction manual with it, but it's been used maybe twice according to the fella I got it from

Floor tool has obviously been used. Reckon some wire will will have that looking respectable though

I wish we had the contour nozzle in the states. The vac looks almost new... It looks like it uses type K bags we have here in the US. Doe the upholstery nozzle have the rubber "litter pickers" brush?

No lint pickers of any sort on the tools. I'll get some more pictures later. Its going on eBay tonight once I've used it again, not my sort of thing collection wise.


In fact I have something which I think is better, will hopefully get that up soon!

Very interesting Hoover.
I have a Hoover Spirit of the same vintage and it is somewhat similar. The tools are much like yours and the tools store under the lid on a tray. It was a high end Spirit and came with the Hoover Quadraflex lighted power nozzle. The machine itself also uses K bags.
Although not the most powerful suction, it is a very good carpet cleaner with the Quadraflex Powermatic nozzle. My machine came with chrome wands and a regular floor brush for hard surface floors and it does have red plastic fingers in the sofa brush and finished in a beautiful brown and taupe Hoover classic finish.
For me, it was kind of the end of the Hoover quality. Still made in North Canton.
I know you will enjoy your Hoover. Mine is one of my favorite machines. Easy to use push on all types of carpets and light weight to carry with the weight of the motor and cord winder balanced in the back over the larger wheels.
Mine does not have very good filtration but the bags are cheap and easy to replace.
