The first Turbopower I ever saw was the Burgundy U2184 first generation that my second cousin twice removed had.
It was used to clean a 6 bedroom mini mansion farm in Styal, S.Manchester. I never got to use it, I just remember it under the stairs in the huge hall room they had. First time I saw one used was our next door but 1 neighbours who had the first generation Regal Blue U2186 Autoflex. That was also the first time I also saw how the tools connected. I didnt actuall use a turbopower until around 1990 when friends of my parents let me oovah the pub they had with the Wedgewood Green U2332..... | ||

The first TurboPower we say in the USA was at Hoover Factory Service Centers only. I don't remember them being for sale any where else. Then we got the horrible Innovation series. Hated working on them, the cord winders and handle release pedals always broke. Innovations (or 'aggravations') were also sold at Sears and some catalog stores. Expensive for what you got, and a huge departure from "real" Hoovers with beater-bar agitators. Innovations were sold for only about three years, in hard body as well as soft body versions. Parts were always hard to come by. Hoover US even made the Type B bag for those machines, but it was so large it would explode the door off the front of the machine when the bag was full. Type O bags from England were much better in those machines.
