Hey everyone, I picked up this Turbopower 3 a few days back as this is my favourite out of the Turbopower 3 range.

The brushroll bearings sounded horrendous (I do have a video of that on my YouTube channel) and the bristles on the brushroll were almost non existent.

This particular Turbopower 3 was the baseline model out of the Turbopower 3 original line up and I think the colour is lush! This would of been the top of the line of the bottom of the line (if that makes sense) from Hoover at the time, the only thing that differed it from the top of the line Turbopower 3 was Autosense and Permabag (how would we of lived without those two features?..) but still had the powerful 1000 watt motor and staircleaning, which Turbopower 2's at that time did not have. 

Here are some before pictures of the machines internal "organs" which were quite dusty...

I did my best at getting it all off but as you can see it distorted the plastic with the heat of the motor.

You would realise that the bag light was illuminating, I think this was why!

Here was the Brushroll, not sure if it is aftermarket as it doesn't look original to me, but the bearings were shot in it and the bristles were very short.

Even has the sale sticker intact!

Benny, I quite agree, they are the best good all rounder Hoover made, that's for sure.

I put in a "new" brushroll.

I have had a few Foam prefilters disintegrate on me before, yes I did wash this one and it came out just fine.

I thought the same thing about the brushroll, you were right! The bag light is working fine now, yes.

When Nelson gets his eye back...

Great restoration Alex! I'll have to get myself a TP2/TP3 sometime :)

YES, you do! :)

let us know what you think of it when you test it out. They are pretty good cleaners, not as good as the Turbopower 1 but then again, they are entirely different beasts.
