Here's another beauty. A Turbopower 2 made in 1992 that has only been switched on for a few minutes.

One of the last decent Hoover uprights, well built, relatively quiet and great performance. This example is a later version. The first version had a spring loaded bag full indicator in the middle of the bag door, a straight hand grip on the hose and an extra crevice tool. An easy to remove clear inspection duct cover on the underside of the cleaner was a further improvement.

This is the base model. Two other models made up the original range. The middle model in grey featured autosense, that automatically increased the power when heavy dirt was detected. The top model featured the Permabag system.

Birth date, Taurus or Gemini.

Early Turbopower 2 models...

Had one extension tube (minus the long crevice tool).
Had one very short crevice tool.
Had a narrow diameter hose.
Had no storage 'grips' to keep the tools in place on the cleaner.

I think the early tool set was lifted straight off the Turbopower/Turbomaster Total Systems.

The early spring-loaded bag-check indicator clogged with dust.

Your variant was a better bet. :)

Birth date?

Hi Roger,

The serial number indicates it is a November 1994 machine!!! The date stamp on the plastics indicates the date the plastics were moulded. That is quite a discrepancy really!
I wonder what that is all about?

Happy hoovering, and a very very nice machine BTW!

Clark.

I suppose all the parts were produced at different times before being assembled as a complete unit. I guess if I check inside the bag door, there would be another date. I can't check it now, because the Turbopower 2 has been packed away again and will probably not see the light of day for another few years.
