Great stuff Seamus. It looks superb - immaculate even. Great to have the instruction manual etc too. Wonderful that another model of cleaner has a well preserved UK representative. Have fun. paul |

Paul I never realised this model existed till I saw this on Ebay -I think it will stay unused(although it will take a Turbopower paper bag so that may change....). Tommy I guess I was surfing at the right time - it was a buy it now -so I did! Seamus |

Now that's a great buy, really nice.. I wouldn't use it either. Just plug it in to run up off the floor I would. |

It was kinda obvious lol- the bag slide fits on the INNER`bag - looks so much better :). Obviously it stays in place if you use a paper bag ! |

Very nice machine. What type of agitator does it use? Can you show a pic? At the time, you could purchase a different brushroll, known as '4-brush groomer' for low-profile carpeting. |

Seems strange that it is less powerful than the old 612 models, which were rated at 400W. |

Hey Calum It has the standard 2 brush/beater bar agitator. You are quite correct there is an all brush unit mentioned in the manual specially for carpet tiles/short pile and stuck down carpet(I have one somewhere). Seamus P.S The rust has been sorted :) |

Forgot to say I was told Hoover changed the way they measured the wattage but its the same performance as the earlier 400W versions. Seamus |

Hello, today I went to my mother's house where I keep my vacuum cleaners collection. She kindly asked me to go and pick her up at the switzerland custom as she had been spending the weekend there. Well whene her friend opened his bentley's luggage compartment he smiled and said"this is for you child!" A wonderful Hoover U 7008 he found in a closet in his office. After realizing it was mine and appreciating that at 29 someone still dares to call me child I picked it upand ran fastly home! It works wonderfully , I'll try and post somepictures as soon as I can as I don't have my camera with me. it is gorgeous because the man found in the clset also the original while the cleaner has sometime been fitted with a genuine grey smaller bag with top fillin tube for paper bags! I'm really happy tonight! tommy |

Hey Tommy Thats great ! Look forward to seeing the top fill setup- I will take a better pic of this one later, the bag flange is plastic and screws to the chassis. Maybe your U7008 is the same?? Seamus |

What is the arrow-shaped sticker on the side of the hood? Does it point to some kind of height-right control? |

well, I guess that the replacement bag was fitted during the eighties, probably something left in the infentory because ALL the Hoover U7008 I saw after bag replacement for paper bag use had a white nylon bag whith red "hoover commercial" label and a top filling system very similar to the ones used on the power-plus range(U 4064-U 4298) with cardboard plate and filling hole in the front. However this 7008 is in great conditions, just a little bit dirty and runs so quiet...I really love those beasts... however I remember that the bag replacement lately meant removing from the old cloth bag the bottom part that was locked to the machine and the rubber elbow with top filling tube had to be glued to it...kind of a boring procedure, ever heard anything about it? The reason is because the last bag assembly available ( the conquest range orange bag) was much more expensive! Tommy |
