The color on yours looks gorgeous!!
Hoover had several units of the Celebrity series! The first ones actually floated on a pillow of air produced by the exhaust of the machine. There were many models with power nozzles and straight suction only models. I have only come across one Celebrity Custom machine that had the on/off switch on the hose handle. Very neat setup!! Here is my Celebrity II Elite. If functioning properly your machine probably would sound like mine-minus the power nozzle which towards the end of the video attached to this link, I do have the unit running in only straight suction mode. These units are very powerful. My unit is 12 Amps, and I believe that the power nozzle motor is 1.9 Amps of that, making the suction motor 10.1 Amp respectively. The motors on these are dual stage. They are very serviceable if you have the skills and tools for working on a dual stage motor. I sent mine off to a professional to have it completely serviced with motor bearings greased, etc. about 3 years ago and it purrs gorgeously ever since!! CLICK HERE TO GO TO Durango159's LINK |
