Hoover Turbomaster Freedom Vacuum Cleaner - A Bagless Disaster!

[@NumaticVacuum]

My mum had that vacuum in the early 90s. She wanted the one with electronic speed control and cord rewind but it was out of stock and the lady in the electricity board showroom persuaded her to get the new Turbomaster with no bags to buy! She bought it and had it for only a year, she hated it! She replaced it with an Electrolux Airstream 1000. I got a Turbopower Freedom about 10 years ago. I found the main reason for the clogging, so quickly, was the mesh screen, any lint, hairs etc, just blocked the suction off instantly, as soon as anything fibrous was sucked up! It was probably okay if you had a relatively clean home but you would of had to empty constantly and useless if you had pets. How Hoover ever even realised these Freedom cleaners onto the market, is absolutely incredible.

The sebo vacuum towards the end was refreshing to watch. Now thats what you call a decent vacuum cleaner. Good video 👍🏽

[@geoffhughes1986]

Hahaha the sarcasm on the cleaning effectiveness. I can’t believe they actually sold this machine. It just moved the dirt around and threw it in the air 😂

[@madwatermelon1316]

Nice to see this in your collection, alongside the turbopower freedom you have.

[@hoovernunez]

Love this videos, what I can say that for me I started here in my country with a Sanyo with the shape that it looks like an egg. The filter it’s the same shape as that Hoover. And the mesh it cover to the front of the filter still same issue the fluffy dirt will choke the vaccum. But at that time cleaning an old car it was ok to empty the dust cup every use. We use that car to transport a lot of things for an small bussines so cleaning every week was a big chore. I didn’t realize about bag in a cleaner until we got a Philips with a cloth bag. Still it wasn’t disposable so I started to prefer bagless because cleaning that bag was not fun.

[@huskyvacs]

Fun fact: Hoover would later reuse the filter wiggler patent - only this time automating it - on the Hoover Z400 and Z700 series vacuums.

[@loganc1999]

The Hoover Nanolites also had filter wigglers! I’ll never forget back in 2008 how odd I thought that feature was

[@paulillingworth1242]

Wow that filter looks like a vehicle air filter for engines air intake, I would not be surprised if you took it to a car spares they may have one of that size/dimensions 😅

[@jakemcintyre4820]

The filter cleaner isn't broken, they were just that bad from the factory 🤣🤣 it doesn't do anything at all, and sliding it is just pointless.

[@samuelfellows6923]

As it makes a “buzz” sound when sliding the knob, I assume it is trying to shake/vibrate the dust off the filter

[@stuartcrookston503]

Fur coat no knickers summed it up perfectly

[@richardlee1985]

My parents had this. It replaced an electrolux 502s and this was later replaced with a Vax 2100 🤣 Absolutely no consistency in taste of vacuum cleaners on my parents part when i was young 🤣

[@Thevacomaticvacuumcorner]

ouf she sounds like a air raid sirens of the 50s on high power just screaming ouch bad bearings i think

[@samuelfellows6923]

- a certain make of US civil-defence siren?

[@huskyvacs]

Yeah that high pitch scream on startup is from the bearings being worn down to nothing. It's going to need a new set of bearings, grease, oil, a full teardown. It likely has had a lot of dirt and grit get to the motor and into the bearing pack which exacerbated the wear.

[@thetechiesworld]

Did Hoover ever release a bagged version in this color scheme? I really like it; it just screams very early 90s to me. Also, about the conversion kit; was the bag door that was supplied in the kit match the color of each machine it was designed for, or was it just a generic color?

[@lukesmith2245]

hi i cant find a video on your channel vacuum repair shop 1997 something like that just wanted to watch haven't seen it for about 3 /4 years /// p.s as always keep up the good work your still the vintage vac master on here

[@Lucina..]

32:19 you have a Henry Allergy 😅

[@DavidMantle139]

It hurts my head that any vacuum cleaner company can replace a perfectly functional bagged system with a bag less filter that instantly clogs up after one use and nearly always needs another vacuum cleaner to remove the dirt.

[@huskyvacs]

This was over 30 years ago, bagless vacuums were a brand new technology at the time and every manufacturer was trying to copy Dyson/Amway/Fantom at doing the bagless vacuum design and a lot of these ideas were failures.

[@NumaticVacuum]

@@huskyvacsThis machine was released before Dyson.

[@DavidMantle139]

A lot of them still are failures needing far more maintenance than simply just changing the bag. @@huskyvacs

[@RWL2012]

​@@NumaticVacuumyou know the *_very_* first Dyson was "released" in 1983, right?

[@NumaticVacuum]

@@RWL2012 Yes, though it wasn’t technically a Dyson and it wasn’t mass market. Hoover wouldn’t of produced the Freedom to compete with that. It would of been to compete with other cleaners that has bagless containers at the time, like the Goblin Lasers and some Hitachi machines.

[@markrich7693]

It did sounded noisy on the high setting which was fashionable for the concept models when using the cleaning tools before turbo master freedoms was launched for sale

[@djkarcher1896]

I've come across many bagless vacuums that I had to do some work on, and most of them are pretty good in my opinion. (Yes, Dyson pulls it off the best way.). Sure it is a matter of preference, but I like not having to get new bags all the time, and I don't mind emptying the canister. This however is a disaster, apart from running really rough. No wonder there's a bagged conversion kit for it.

[@1000BT]

So the belt system works like a sharp?

[@soumaakizuki6926]

Later Hoover Turbopower Freedom Vacuum Cleaner - Another Bagless Disaster!

[@robdavis5711]

I do love a good Turbomaster, but bagged, beige and with Total System (variable speed, cord rewind and tools attached) spec please! Suction is miserable on this!

[@FrenchFryCheese04]

Direct air and Bagless don't mix... Right Roger?

[@matthewantonucci6751]

Hey Roger, Can You Please Verse The Hoover TurboMaster Freedom To The Hoover Professional Dual Purpose Legacy?!

[@gregallsmagic]

I’ve watched till the end.

[@huskyvacs]

Same. I watch his videos for lunch.

[@Thevacomaticvacuumcorner]

the filter is kaput in the hoover ouchy ya this shows how good a bag vacuum is at picking up deep down dirt or surface dirt and keeping it in its bag

[@DisneyMarkUK]

That is a handsome machine mind Rog.

[@edwarddowds1014]

I would have been a kid when these came out...but from what i remember ..it was terrible

[@AwesomeVacuums]

Bagless in general is a disaster.

[@FrenchFryCheese04]

I mean they aren't bad as they were back in 2000

[@cameramah]

i love this channel

[@dbsparks3285]

Hi Roger I have a turbopower u2334 on eBay if your interested iv just currently refurbished it great hoover sounds like new

[@davedebang-bang6168]

As soon as that mesh gets dirt on it then you can say goodbye to the airflow and suction

[@David-uf8ex]

Hoovers filtration left a lot to be desired on many models

[@YoumuHoover]

Theses are just as bad as our American Elite Bagless Twin chamber. Both clog up incredibly fast, spew dust everywhere, and are incredibly messy to empty and clean.

[@gregallsmagic]

I seen a recent from of Beko1987 use a Dyson floor head for his Numatic Quick.

[@Boodieman72]

Looks like a car air filter.
