So I recently just got a Turbomaster Total System. I was very pleased with it when I unpacked it from the bin bag it was sent in!! I had a good look around it and was so pleased ot arrived completely unscathed. Then on further inspection, I noticed the wheels had broken! There were chunks missing on both! Why did they have to make the Turbopower 1 and Turbomaster cleaners so cheap?! I am sure Hoover didn't think thay there would be peope collecting these things in 30 years time, but still!
Luckily I have a spare set of wheels in grey. Not the same colour as the machine, but nevermind, I will never find them in the original colour as this is an Electricy Bord model. The colour has ever so slightly darkened, due to sundamage or teperature change over the years, it is quite suttle and I actually prefer the colour it is now, lol.

It's all a conspiracy...
They do it for several reasons that have nothing to do with customer satisfaction:
1. To ensure future profits by basically designing current products to self-destruct in a relatively short period of time. 2. To give us the illusion that our money isn't quite as worthless as it actually is. In addition, they systematically discontinue parts for otherwise far superior legacy products in order to retroactively make them un-repairable and thus force consumers to buy their latest worthless plastic crap. Sorry, feeling cynical today... | ||

 Congratulations Alex ! It looks beautiful. I know how disappointing it is to buy something antique, like this, and have it damaged during shipping. A recent vacuum purchase was terribly packaged and I ended up making a claim (which took a month to pay out), but I'm still left with a 40 year old vac. that's damaged. Consider yourself fortunate to have the parts and they're easy to change. My item, the body of the machine is damaged. | ||
