Hence the thread Jake created on my behalf, I have bought a 1988 Hitachi Powerhouse CV2550!
And for how much ? Well, £3. Not too bad eh ? I got it home and started the standard clean up. Boy did it need it. I first of all opened up the dirt chamber and discovered a very, very dirty filter. A good thorough clean in some warm water soon got it cleaned up though. The actual cleaner was simple to wash, I cleaned the dirt chamber section using the power shower (was damn hard to get the price sticker off) and cleaned the rest of it with soapy water and a cloth. After that I gave it a good shine up with some furniture polish. Lastly I cleaned the original three tubes and the floor tool (took it apart and cleaned the insides). I let everything dry out overnight and the next day I used it, so how was it ? Bloody brilliant. The 1000 Watt motor is very quiet, the suction is brilliant and it is well made. I will upload some pictures when my batteries recharge. |
