Fixing a DEAD Hoover Celebrity floating vacuum!

[@craglabrake6802]

I find these vacuum cleaners absolutely fascinating! Definitely advanced when these came out.

I love these cleaners. Takes me right back to 1983 when my Uncle Ken and Aunty Caroline gave me their orange S3005. Me and my cousin Joanne built a robot out of it lol 😅

Hope your covid is not getting you down too much Sam - hope you'll be better soon This is an interesting machine - like a squashed constellation!

I don't have a floating one here in the United States and because of you Uk guys I fitted a generic Henry Hepa Bag to mine.

ive missed these videos...youtube has not been recommending anything, but it was a trip to BHF and spotting a delightful Yellow DC04 and ORECK XL that provoked my interest XD

I imported one from the US and turned it into an art installation in the style of Jeff Koons, mine is the orange version and has a colour keyed rear cord hook but a brown handle, not a cream one plus, instead of the toggle switch yours has its got a push on push off switch with a plastic pedal over the top of it so you could operate it with your foot. I did the same thing with a yellow one, again imported from the States but that I left behind when I left the family home, that had a colour keyed cord hook but a cream handle but the same foot operated switch. I'd love to send you a photo of mine but I don't know how to send a photo on this platform Regards Nick

That is the second version from the late 1970s, it replaced the orange version which came out in 1974.

[@philliphurley5341]

There is one on eBay, the first version, the orange on which came out in 1974.
