 Hey everyone, I got this Hoover Commercial/Elite/Legacy what ever you wanna call it! Lol. It came off another collector called Stu, it had been cleaned up already but I did tear it down and clean it because I can't help myself! it runs really good and is in excellent condition, I presume it is from the 90's but I have no idea exactly how old it is, cause it doesn't have "our" Hoover dating system on it. It is all back together now and roaring to go anyway, here it is...
As you can see it did come with the tools on-board, needless to say the suction is not mind blowing, through the hose, not as good as our Total Systems, believe it or not!

It has the switch on the handle which is very convenient. | ||

Cleaning tools None but 1 of these tools are the right style for this machine and that is the dusting brush, the wand is off a Purepower, the Upholstery tool off a Turbopower Total System and the crevice tool is off a VAX 121, I can see why they are missing they don't fit on the caddy to well. Obviously the hose is original.

Unlike our Turbopower Total Systems The hose on this "professional" doesn't need to be on the machine all the time when using as an upright as there is a little "cleaning tools" door to cover the hole, needless to say, the Turbomasters didn't need the hose attached to use the machine as an upright, either and the hole was still exposed but there was a little shutter that closed off the fan to the hose port.

 Wow, what a fantastic find. These Legacy models were the absolute top of the line for many years in America. I'm surprised to hear you say the machine doesn't "cling" to the carpet. They're no Convertible/Senior, but I've always felt they seal well to carpets. Maybe your Turbopowers are really that much better. Anyway, congratulations. Enjoy your new Hoover! | ||

Turbopowers Back in the bag; when new (or at least when fully serviced with the relevant new parts) our Turbopower and Turbomaster cleaners were out of this world when it came to carpet cleaning. The tools were, of course, another story altogether. | ||

Bag in the back
Don't get me wrong, they are really good vacs with good agitation and they are nice to use, but there isn't that "stick" feeling when you push and pull it, it seems to grasp the carpet well but I can't feel the power like I can with Turbopower, you should find a Turbopower or Turbomaster, if you can...They are VERY good! The hose suction has more to be said about but it is certainly more powerful than these Elite based cleaners, however, the Turbopower 1 cleaners do have much wider air paths.

The possibility that you can't feel the "sticking" action is simply because it is a commercial designed upright. Also they were on sale in the UK in the late 1990s with fully red plastic bodies so some parts will still be available for it.
I once saw one on store in an Edinburgh appliance store at reduced price. Quite heavy it was but I was impressed with the general design - they are generally quite durable - I've seen a few in old schools and hotels. | ||

Nope that was it, we had 3 models under the Hoover name over here, the Turbolite "Elite 200" and two Legacy style commercial vacs.
We did have a few others under the Maytag brand which were a "Hoover Caddy Vac" style, a windtunnel , a twin chamber bagless dirty fan upright and the constelation. This post was last edited 12/05/2013 at 06:44 | ||

Alex - what was wrong with this to cause the poor suction - was that the reason you got rid? | ||

But the kirbylover said he now owned that dual purpose so I assumed you had sold it to him?
