i had a Hoover with a CWP agitator in it. the CWP agitators dont vibrate (in higher-amp Hoovers) like the metal Hoover ones. you can cut noise (vibration) in half with a CWP brush. |

Derreck I too am envious of your Lark 14. I had actually forgot that they and dark red ones were out there. In my mind they (at the time) were the same as the lark. Sure would like to find a blue one like yours. Norm |

We'd had the Decade 80 over here - they're a lot nicer looking than our Powerplus, which always looked a bit bland to me. The model 14 looks like a European 1224 on steroids (see pic below)! |

Simon...I would love to see the European version of the Decade 80. I think the 1224 looked great in those colors. I particularly like the big Hoover medallion on the front cover. --Tom |

This is probably the nearest thing we had to the decade 80 |

I presume the Powerplus range was popular in as much as it was seen as a continuation of the Senior range. |

Hi Tom, glas you liked the pics, I never realised that your Hoovers vacs tended not to have rubber handle grips on them, was most disappointed to get a 700 US model and it was "Bare"....lol I`m with Simon on the Powerplus, I never knew anybody who had one, people thought the Dustcup was too much of a gimmick to catch on....I do like those mauroon colours though... But compared to your colours the UK models where quite tame... Mike |

In an ideal world people would buy the Powerplus/last of the Junior range because there would be less to go wrong ;p sadly the buying public just love their gadgets. Ian |
