Yes, Brandon ...
There were - and yes they did resemble the U.K. models. But they didn't sell well here due to their obvious small size, as the average-sized homes here were considered a bit too large, and thus the Juniors were only desirable by those people living on a very small budget. None of our Juniors ever had headlights, nor did we get the hardshell Dial-A-Matic-like bagged models, known as the Junior Deluxes. U.S. Junior model history: 115 was based on the U.K. model 119; produced early 1950s 1330 was based on the U.K. model 1334; produced early 1960s 1348 was based on the U.K. model 1346(A); produced late 1960s to mid 1970s U1025 was based on the U.K. model U1012; produced late 1970s ~Ben | ||

Electricity I was under the impression that these were built in the U.K. and sent to North Canton for the electrical system to be converted for US. These had floor switches which US Hoovers never had and I was told that was a requirement in U.K. | ||
