Yes that bag looks original. Hm fairly. It isn't SUPER heavy but does have a bit of weight to it. |

No problem. If you do get it, show me a picture of the rating sticker on Facebook and I can date it for you. |

Will this clean better than a TP1? I mean, it's dirty air and has a metal beaterbar doesn't it? The TP has that but with a plastic agitator |

It looks like a Hoover Junior U1104 and with original bag. It would have a 300 or 350 watt motor. This is the last of the classic design before Hoover rebadged Sprite uprights with the Junior name as well as turbopower 1 bagged uprights.
The metal based bodies have 250 watt motors with metal fans but not the plastic U1104 which has a plastic fan. Also uses flat belt compared to rubber belt, but would still use the rubber belt inside to fasten the bag to the top fill dirt channel inside the soft bag - the older metal based Juniors have bottom fill tubes apart from the U1012 model. Look at the archive link for a Junior U1104 on here. CLICK HERE TO GO TO sebo_fan's LINK |

Here's the blockier U1012 from the previous model design; made from a mix of plastics and metal. Distinguished by its straighter outer cloth dust bag (and thus the bag inside doesn't sag due to being top fill) and orange colour to the U1012. The one from Gumtree is the more modern Hoover Junior - and it may well be fitted with the Hoover activator, similar to what the Hoover Turbopower1 had.
I actually like the U1012 better as it is more durable than the plastic U1104. But I love both styles. |

No it isn't none sense. It's not as light as a bloody feather now is it? It's not as though I said "Oh yeah it weighs like a brick." Now did I? |

IDK if I want this Hoover, the colours are so 80's; I mean the oldest thing in our house is probably the 9 year old Bosch washing machine we got from Currys, or the Dyson DC05 motorhead |

If you're "just saying", then perhaps you should rethink your choice of words. I certainly wasn't twisting yours, I was just disgreeing you.
Anyway, even 6kg is light compared to what else was on sale at the time. But they're bottom heavy so very light in operation and easy on the wrist. It's not uncommon for lightweight cleaners to be quite top heavy making them a tad awkward to use. |

"It's not as light as a bloody feather now is it? It's not as though I said "Oh yeah it weighs like a brick." Now did I?"
Well, I'm very bloody pleased that you've sodding made you damn mind up, but really, was there any need for that particular choice of words?
Like I said, attitude. You might want to work on that. |

Anyway, lets get this back on track shall we?
Emma, you mentioned above about the wattage difference on the Turbopower - the 400w models didn't have the headlight. The 10w difference between the TP Junior and TP hardbag models was the headlight bulb. Motor power is the same, although the TP Juniors tended to have stronger suction due to the cloth bag having a larger exhaust surface area giving greater airflow.
Junior vs. Turbopower? Well, that would certainly be an interesting debate. I suspect that the Turbopower would likely clean slightly better, but the Junior's and Senior's had considerably better build quality over the TP and TM. The TP1 was almost entirely plastic and some of them were VERY flimsey. Certain models have a reputation for being "glass" models and prone to cracking, splitting and shattering (especially the red U2336). |

Oh my, looks like I missed out on a major debate.
However ALL of you have missed ONE very vital tiny, almost miniscule little characteristic. The Junior may well weigh 6kg and the Turbopower may well weigh a little bit heavier. But they don't exude their total weight when pushing a long a floor. Usually. And of course, each "weight" would change as to each height adjustment setting and resistance on a carpet. |
