Stripdown & Refurb - Hoover Purepower U3350 from 1999

 The Hoover Purepower is the last 'Hoover' designed upright cleaner before the company fell apart, and production left the UK and moved abroad. This model was fully caught up in the Free Flights scandal, and the fallout from that. The early models (of which this is) were made in Cambuslang, and the design is still being made today, in china! The story of this one starts with my Aunt-in-Law, who had been given 2 'Hoover' vacuums, and wondered if I could get one working for her. What she dropped off, was this!  Handily, the bagless one was missing several key components, so the decision was easy, especially as I had several spare parts for it in the shed!  Nice royal warrant on show  And on with the stripdown First off was the rather fluffy dusting brush  Which has certainly seen some use! Then the Upholstery tool, which has the later designed brush strip   Next was the extension tool and scabbard crevice tool
