Well, I got this a few days ago (Although it took almost 3 weeks to get here) for £25 and £10 P+P. Again on Facebook and from the same gentleman who sold me the U2332.

Anyway, he did say he had replaced the motor bearings,fan (generic), genuine brushroll and generic belt. So it didn't need anything major doing just the usual strip (including the motor),wash ALL the parts that can be washed, re-assembled then polish and wax, use and display!

Some pictures as usual. Pft, more like alot Emma :P

Befores then afters, before video as well then a review to follow soon.

Anyway, enjoy!

I hand washed it first to get rid of most of the crap. The picture is of the first wash. After the second one i bunged it into the washer with some softener.

This chassis could do with replacing as it's became really scratched and now has deep (ish) "grooves". But i'm not going to bother replacing mine as i'm not going to be using it that much. I still greased it though.

New bag. Also I'm not really keen on how the paper bag is squashed in. It seems too skinny and a couple of inches too long. Ah well

The "Activator" brushroll. My favorite brushroll (Personally) Gave it new bearings as I cba to grease the others. My last ones too!

Finally.

The last picture. I thought I would show it with the pan converter on.

Although the suction isn't that strong (Well..a little crap to be honest, My personal preference though! no need to fight over it) It's better than none. Rather use a Total system though :P

Hoover

Wow, that is a lovely Hoover, and indeed a lovely Zanussi as well!

 

My grandma had one of those TP Juniors years ago, so I'm on the look out for one in the future!

Grass

Nightmare....just glad my little brother likes gardening as I certainly wouldnt want to mow our 1 acre of garden every week!

Looks good, I still prefer hard box (Paper bag enclosure) cleaners though! Going to start on the U2798 in a min here.

Chris

@Numatic99

Awesome I'll look forward to seeing the pictures of when it's done.

Again ignore the fact it was done outside again. It was the most quietest place.
