Just picked up a Hoover Elite II the older gray body white cord style machine at my favorite thrift store. Its only missing the dusting brush and the little square floor selector thing. Other then those two minor things its in great shape and runs smooth and quiet being the 5.5 amp motor. I'll post pictures when its done getting its SPA treatment since it will be living in my house. Watch for them either tonight or tomorrow!

How much did you pay?
"...smooth and quiet..." I wouldn't call any Elite quiet, but they are fairly smooth. |

The Elite II came out? I have a link to a commercial for the Elite II below.
I remember finding one long ago curbside, while riding with a friend. That Friend said there appeared to be mold in the bag, So I cut it off with some sheers on the side of the road (Keep in mind, this was years back, when I was younger and clueless that Bleach would be the proper solution). The motor was very rough and dry, I remember putting a white cord from an ancient Quick-Broom my Sister swiped from a shed years back (Which I promptly returned, Don't know why I kept the cord) And wired a quick-wire GE plug from Winn-Dixie on it. I didn't have a replacement bag, So I swiped the blue hard-bag off an unfortunately long gone Blue Hoover-Elite I persuaded a guy who stopped across the street to give me when I saw he had it in the bed of his truck! The Elite II is long gone, All that remains of the once cobbled-together little thing is the Hose, that blue hard-bag, and the base w/ hood. I might even still have the motor somewhere in that disaster I call a Garage, I remember trying desperately not-too-long-ago to take the cover off and try to fix the motor. Here's the standard commercial form 1992: CLICK HERE TO GO TO super-sweeper's LINK |
