It is back! I was checking HOOVER's website ten minutes ago, and saw it for sale.
The "original" Turbopower, spelt as one word, ended production in the early 2000's, I believe, but it seems HOOVER felt the need to create another cleaner, which looks nothing like the traditional TP by the way, and name it after it. Oh well, maybe some day I'll have the pleasure of trying it out, but at over £200 brand new, I think that day will be a while off. | ||

Just a heads up - this is NOT an original Turbopower and is nothing like the original Turbopower.
It kind of irritates me that Hoover have named there new uprights. The thing that made the Turbopower "turbo" was the combination of the dirty fan design and the activator brushroll, neither of which the new "turbopower" has. At least it's a proper dual cyclone machine and not a nasty clogging mess. | ||

That's a Turbopower 1000 based on the Turbopower 2 machines.
The original Turbopower was dirty fan. The "turbo" came from it's performance on carpet due to the dirty fan and activator brushroll. See link for the Turbopower U2194 from the original 1983 lineup CLICK HERE TO GO TO turbo500's LINK | ||

IF you go to 2min38secs on this video, you'll see the advert for the Original turbopower lineup.
The Turbopower 2 was launched in 1992 to compete with the clean air uprights of Panasonic and Electrolux of the time as they were becoming increasingly more popular due to increased suction power on the hose and better filtration. The Turbopower 1000 was launched in 1994 and was more powerful than the Turbo 2. Despite being superseded, the original Turbopower design ran until 2001. CLICK HERE TO GO TO turbo500's LINK | ||

I did hear somewhere that the 1000 was first advertised in 1993 and first sold in 1994, so my one (made in August 1994) must have been one of the earliest models available.
I'm so glad I ended up with a TP1000 rather than a TP2, seeing as the 1000's are quite rare, and to find one over a widely available TP2 was very lucky. I'm surprised clean fan motors were only just becoming popular in the nineties, because Electrolux made clean fan motors in the 500 series from the seventies, which were excellent for their size and weight. I just love my '82 502S, and with the Ranger's shenanigans, I'm finding myself using it more and more! I might actually have to change the bag some time in the near future, something I never thought I'd have to do for years, seeing as until recently I was just using it very occasionally. I don't mind dirty fan motors, don't get me wrong, but if I had a choice, I'd go for a clean fan, due to the extra filtration (made available because the dirt is sucked into the bag rather than blown in, meaning the air can be filtrated to a much higher standard), and better suction. | ||

Actually, Dirty Fan cleaners tend to be much better carpet cleaners - they're just not so great on the hose.
Back in the 60's, 70's and early 80's, the choice was easy - Electrolux for a cylinder and Hoover for an upright. Unfortunately, dirty fan vacuums are not so popular these days as they're a little impractical. It's much easier to have a clean air upright with on board tools. I wouldn't say any of the Turbo's are particularly rare, aside from the exclusives. The 1000's are slightly rarer as they didn't run for particularly long as they were superseded by the Turbopower 3 in about 1996. I do like the T2, 3 and 1000, but I much prefer the Turbopower 1's for carpet cleaning. | ||

"They are not durable. Maybe okay for once a week cleaning, but not practical for daily use." - That's strange, my 1982 502S was used DAILY from the day it was bought, so the motor must have more than 4,200 hours of use on it, and it still runs incredibly smooth, and you don't even have to raise your voice over it, like you do with some brand new cleaners.
Yes, the belt will wear the motor pulley down if it is left to get to the stage where it is glazed/stretched and slipping, thus burning it up, but if you check the belt before every use and change it when a slip is first detected, no problems should occur. I would go as far as to say the 500 Watt motor in my Lux is the best motor out of all my cleaners for its size. | ||

if you check the belt before every use
Who in the heck checks the belt on their vacuum before every use? The average vacuum user just wouldn't bother. You need to remember, not everyone in the world cares at much about their vacuum as we do. Try and think about it from the perspective of your average vacuuming buying public.
In terms of carpet cleaning, the original Turbopower is unrivalled in it's carpet cleaning ability. The 500 series had stronger suction on the hose, but the Turbo's were definitely the better uprights. The Turbo 2, 3 and 1000, though good, weren't a patch on the original series. | ||

I see, I thought you were saying it was a bad thing!
My Turbopower has a beater bar of sorts, only it isn't a bar. It is lots of hard bumps in the brush roll that act as a beater bar. My 1993 Philips U800 has a beater bar just like on the new Turbo Power though, and I love how the carpets come up with it. | ||

Yes, the "bumps" are infact carpet beaters. As the brushes spin and groom the carpet pile and sweep away embedded dirt, the beaters beat the carpet to loosen deep down grit and help with the removal of fine dust particles. Hoover always used beaters on their cleaners, hence the old slogan "The Hoover Beats, As it sweeps, as it cleans". The "activator" brushroll was part of what made the Turbopower "turbo" in the first place. I believe it was the first major redesign of the actual brushroll that Hoover ever went through and was certainly an improvement. Hoover used it on all their uprights from 1983 to just after Candy bought Hoover out in about 1997/98.

Thats a bit of a controversial question Jamie, and I don't think there is any right or wrong answer. The activator brushroll was first used on the Turbopower in 1983 which is a higher wattage and completely different design to the Seniors. Sadly, I don't think there is anyway of telling which is the better brushroll unless they can be used in the same machine so one could fairly compare the performance of the same machine with a different brushroll (if that makes any sense). I believe the activator is widely accepted to be the better brushroll, but it's all a matter of opinion to be honest.

I think the activator would be best, as lots of little bumps would beat better than a few big bars in my opinion, but then I could be wrong, as my '93 Philips U800 has the long bars (plastic instead of metal though) and it cleans exceptionally well, but better than the Turbopower ? I don't know... It is a tough one!
I'll have to watch closely next time I use the Philips and see if it is better than the Turbopower, seeing as they are roughly the same wattage (900W for the Turbopower and 800W for the Philips) and the same age. | ||

In all honesty, if you want a bagless cleaner, a Dyson is your best bet. However, if you're looking for something a little less pricey, I've found the Vax Mach range to be good and the Hoover Airvolution machines to also be very effective. Both use an efficient dust separation dual cyclone and not a cheap, direct filter cyclone (although neither are quite as effective as the Dyson Root cyclone). Happy vacuuming and be sure to let us know what you get.

Interesting
From what I understand about the Hoover Activator was that it was introduced as the original Hoover agitator with metal bars flattened carpets instead of grooming them.
The nodules beat the carpet but cant flatten the carpet due to their angular and scattered positions which helped improve the look of the carpet after a vac. More noticeable on cut pile carpets I have found where Juniors and Seniors really do nothing for the appearance of the pile. Now as for the 410w original turbos compared to the 800w and 1000w turbo2's I have read another theory as to why the 2's and 3's dont seem to clean or groom as well as the originals which is to do with the motor running at a much higher speed and therefore counteracting the grooming which needs to be done at a lower speed to get results. Need to check the service manuals to find out the difference between the TP1's agitator RPM vs the TP2 agi rpm. Now heres a bit of help towards that theory too. We have a 700w Panasonic upright with the same brush roll as my Grandads 2000w Panasonic upright and on thick or thin carpets the 700w cleaner grooms and cleans better, Leaves the pile with excellent track marks where the 2000w one dosnt. Any truth in this theory I wonder?

Yes but at the end of the day Hoover haven't brought out a bagged version, hence the new bagless cyclonic model is called "Turbo Power" with a deliberate spacing in between the words.
As for brush roll - I have a bagless cyclonic Vax Mach Air - the brush roll is a lot kinder to carpets and I'm glad it doesn't have beater bar strips set into it. Do any of the American members have the equivalent similar Hoover Windtunnel Air? The hose arrangement is slightly different and from what I understand, that vacuum was only available at Walmart. | ||

That's a pity...
Hasn't Hoover released the cylinder model in other guises/model names though since the launch?
On a separate note I noticed that the Hoover Globe and the Turbo Power uprights have both been slashed in price - the Globe is something like £129 whereas the Turbo Power is £124 - effectively £5 added for the swivel then where the Globe is concerned. Still waiting for a new bagged upright from Hoover UK/Europe. | ||

The thing is, it doesn't matter about questioning why they are so cheap - it has little to do with the reliability, but rather the amount of stockists that Hoover and other brands are being bought by.
You do get price reductions of several Miele and SEBO products, but it is seasonal and not as much. The Miele S2's general pricing from £130 has dropped to around £99 in recent months - but this has much to do with the fact that Miele are still selling their old S700 heavier bodies for expensive prices using the smaller FJM dust bag compared to the S2's bigger GN bag. The multicyclonic design in your Turbo Power cylinder vacuum is currently also being sold as a Jazz cylinder vacuum whilst the Rush uses the same body but a different single cyclonic filter.

Curve
Hi Steve,
I picked up the Curve from Tesco for £40 several weeks back, for the money its a very good little machine but at the price on the Hoover website of £159.99 is an outrage it's not worth more that £40 as the hose and handle are very cheap feeling, the cord very short and just the overall build quality is cheap feeling. Here's a pick I took of my Hoover Cylinders. The second stage cyclones btw feed straight into the centre of the bin not noticed any problems with clogging. Dan

Yes I hadn't planned on buying it but when I saw it for £40 it was too tempting lol One of the nice things about this machine is the cyclone parts all unclip for cleaning. I've not used it much and it's back in its box now but heres a picture of the cyclone parts, the second stage cyclones are very small so maybe it would clog but I've hardly used it tbh and it's back in it box stored away now.

No, Steve I haven't bought it - the last cylinder I bought was a couple of months ago - a Miele S2 but I really don't like the S2 at all. The hose is too short, the fixed height suction tubes are too high and the cord too short. However I do like the fact that the S2 has a 1600 watt motor - I'm hanging around to see if Hoover have an Eco version of the Telios and may consider it....
From Argos stats it looks like the Telios has an equally short 1.5 metre hose but it wins against the Miele because it seems to have a touch longer cord, tools that hide behind a flap like the Miele S5, telescopic height adjustable tubes and a generally pleasing shape. Having sampled one in Currys though (that white one) I wasn't taken with the plastic quality at all. The Miele S2 is slightly better than the Hoover Telios in that department though Hoover always claim 79dbl is quiet - in some markets the Telios seems to have a changing decible level for the 2200 watt and 2300 watt versions - 74dbl to 79bdl. Its a hard one to call but I much prefer Sebo or Miele for their quieter motors overall.

Steve - it doesn't work quite like right - and you're not the first to get "sucked in" by the claims that manufacturers put on their settings on the dial.
The base rating plate tells the true story. What you think is "300" refers to the lowest output of the vacuum cleaner - thus for Miele, the S2's base rating is 1400 watts low, 1600 watts max. Thus it would be impossible to get "300" watts based on the lowest output rating. The S5 & S6 with its 2000 watt motor has 1900 watts at its lowest, 2000 watts at its highest. | ||

That looks like a bargain, thanks!
Just been on Tesco's site tonight - they're selling those Electrolux Powerlite bagged uprights at an incredible cheap £37-00 price complete with pet hair turbo tool. I had to look twice at the price! Seems that the most expensive Hoover upright that Tesco are selling is a red Turbo Power bagless upright at £129 and that's a bit of a surprise - I'd have thought Tesco would be selling the Globe by now. | ||

Electrolux Powerlite Oh them, saw those on TD.com, great machine though, nan has one & it's a great vacuum, so quiet compared to Nans old Panasonic MCE3002! Give me an Electrolux anyday! Still have a Contour Flexihead from 1990 & it works perfectly. | ||

I agree.. but
They're ok - I had two for many years - one without the pet hair attachment and one with - they're far easier to push than a Purepower will ever be but the Electrolux does suffer from cheap plastics AND my original model suffered from a breakage early on with the height adjuster dial. The hose on the Powerlite is the worst though, kinks at every corner - the Stairmaster long extension hose that Electrolux used to sell (and often appears on EBAY from third party sellers) is a much needed attachment that gives the Electrolux quite a bit of versatility.
As you say though, they are good vacuums if you're prepared to turn a blind eye to the plastics though - they also don't have 2 belts to change and the Electrolux is one of the more modern designs where the hood can be taken off to change the belt as opposed to the usual turning the upright over and removing base plates. | ||

Electrolux Powerlite...
my Mum had one of those for a few years, before replacing it with a Sebo Felix. We only paid £49.99 for it. It was a decent performer and nice to use, but as Ryan has pointed out, it suffered with very cheap plastic. The hose was ridiculous - it was too rigid and difficult to use - you'd get arm ache doing the stairs with it. The black 1800w model had a much better more flexible stretch hose that worked much better. The cable seemed very short on it and the cable storage was a bit of a pain as it was in a rather awkward place and quite low down on the machine. The brushroll is VERY aggressive and can often damage cheaper quality carpets as it spins at such high speed. But for the price, it wasn't half bad.

Yes, I think so... I tried fitting the tool without the adapter on just the Panasonic hose, & they're both the same width. | ||

Might bring down the price then, either that or send a box of Vacuum Fresheners for free with every purchase. | ||

The Fresheners smell nice, but they are about £3 a pack new so I mightaswell sell the Risor Visors for £10 but give each buyer Air Fresheners, even though there's less. Should say whilst stocks last! dysondestijl... do you still want it? | ||

Oh yes, better than the crappy tool I get what you mean, 3in1 sounds good at first, but do Vax really think they'll be able keep it? I guess so, as its on many of their uprights. | ||

3 in 1
This is the one you get with new AEG cylinders, this ones from my UltraPerformer, I'm not impressed, nice horse hair bristles but the crevice tool is too short and it's noisy when using the dusting brush because of the airflow being forced through the crevice tool, luckily I kept the tools from my old TwinClean and they fit.

Well, Vax copied Dyson on that score where its slide down dust brush on the crevice tool is concerned. There's a previous thread about that on here.
To be honest though, from what Ultraperformer has posted, I think the tool from Wilko has slightly longer bristles - certainly the video I've posted on You Tube can attest to the almost silent quality - but then I am using a Miele vacuum cleaner at the other end. | ||
