Hoover U 3525 Purepower Bagged Upright

Advantages: Strong suction, onboard tools
Disadvantages: Expensive running costs, very heavy

...This is now my fourth cleaner i have had for aroundf 2 years and found that the disadvatages outway the advantages. I bought this cleaner from Argos for £80. It has a slim profile, bag check indicator, onboard tools and throw away paper dust bags. It also has a 1300w motor that produces a powerful suction so powerful the cleaner is difficult to move. The cleaner has a hose that can stretch to twice it's length allowing for cleaning of stairs from the bottom instead of at the top (avoiding overturning the cleaner and sending it down the stairs like I ended up doing to the last cleaner i had) The cleaner has an extension tube and dusting brush that stores neatly on the back of the cleaner allowing it to be used as a suction only system when required.

But there are plenty of reasons to why we won't get rid of Jimmy even though there are obvious reasons to why consumers won't buy them; put simply, they're not on sale anymore! ~~ When Jimmy came to Stay ~~ After returning the old metal Junior to my mum, I walked past a private electrical shop one day and saw the beige/white Junior U1104 looking at me with a sale...

...Before i start this review i have a very odd interest in vacuum cleaners which i have had since i was a child & i was a cleaner for many years before i had to give up work. i have owned & used many vacuum cleaners in my time. The reason i have decided to review such an old product is because i despair of modern vacuum cleaners. most of them either make claims they cannot live up to or they work great for three weeks then break down. there are several reliable makes of vacuum cleaners on the market but they start at prices of over £100. i have beeen stung so many times by dud's that i very seldom often bother with the new ones. The hoover in question is a hoover turbopower u2332 i believe theese cleaners were availible from 1983 up untill the late 1990s in varius colourschemes. they did models with cord retractors & built...
