i had a Hoover with a CWP agitator in it. the CWP agitators dont vibrate (in higher-amp Hoovers) like the metal Hoover ones. you can cut noise (vibration) in half with a CWP brush. | ||

Aye, Hoover in the UK appears to be feeling the harsh sting of outsourcing already (has been doing for quite sometime to be honest) I mean i'm all for making a bit of the old dead presidents, but does quality really have to be sacrificed so greatly? Ian | ||

Lark 14 Derreck I too am envious of your Lark 14. I had actually forgot that they and dark red ones were out there. In my mind they (at the time) were the same as the lark. Sure would like to find a blue one like yours. Norm | ||

I wish We'd had the Decade 80 over here - they're a lot nicer looking than our Powerplus, which always looked a bit bland to me. The model 14 looks like a European 1224 on steroids (see pic below)!

Simon...I would love to see the European version of the Decade 80. I think the 1224 looked great in those colors. I particularly like the big Hoover medallion on the front cover. --Tom | ||

I presume the Powerplus range was popular in as much as it was seen as a continuation of the Senior range. | ||

Popular!!!
Hi Tom, glas you liked the pics, I never realised that your Hoovers vacs tended not to have rubber handle grips on them, was most disappointed to get a 700 US model and it was "Bare"....lol I`m with Simon on the Powerplus, I never knew anybody who had one, people thought the Dustcup was too much of a gimmick to catch on....I do like those mauroon colours though... But compared to your colours the UK models where quite tame... Mike | ||

Damn I thought I had me hoovers sussed :p but then, I was merely going on the fact that some people would be like "oh my mum had one of these..yoink" alas by the 80s most people didn't think like that..ended up turning into yuppies like i'm not honest ;p Ian | ||

Ah well, At least you know you've got a bit of a rarity on your hands! I was going to suggest that it also didn't sell because it was low-tech, but hey! The Sensotronic was all bells and whistles and no-one bought those either :-) Si | ||

In an ideal world people would buy the Powerplus/last of the Junior range because there would be less to go wrong ;p sadly the buying public just love their gadgets. Ian | ||

Very nice picture Tom.. Those sure are some pretty machines! I really like that Deluxe Convertible. Wish my Decade 80 had a nice decal like yours. Most of them I have seen have scratched up decals. Thanks for the pic! Derreck | ||
