I thought afterwards it should be here ;)- I was thinking pre 85! It def isnt a UK model- the powerhead is totally different from ours which were very plain looking and had no headlamp. Seamus |

This is the first range of Hoover cylinder vacs with remote control & power head etc, it first came out in the early 80`s, quiet yet powerful.... This is the TOL System 50, model S3328, made in France like the UK Convertables (your DAM`s). 1000w motor power with 170w power head. Variable controls on the handle, switch for the power head on/off, Manual control gives variable motor speed by slider control, along with a "Max Boost" switch , Fully Auto gives automatic floor sensing suction requirements. Tools all store under the top....complete with paper bag, air filters and the famous "Apple Scented" air freshner disc. CLICK HERE TO GO TO chestermikeuk's LINK |

Hi Seamus Have you been having a bad vac day!!!...LOL I have to agree those hoses are sooooo rigid & solid, they only go one way and thats "Straight"...Its a nice vac to use but the hose could do with being a couple of feet longer..IMHO. I remember that cream hose, was a little more pliable than the later ones but not as sturdy...Do you have any original "Hoover" bags in stock ?? Cheers, Mike |
