Have really enjoyed watching your series of videos on restoring the Hoover Junior Dirtsearcher. You have done a fantastic job on the restoration and was fascinating to see your care and thoroughness with each step of the rebuilding of such a fantastic machine. Well done and congratulations Dorian on a fantastic project you have done. Looking forward to watching your new project on the next Hoover Junior
Awwwwww, thank you so much, that really means a lot to me. I love this time of year so I can spend more time in the workshop and work on more machines. I’m sure you’ll enjoy the next Junior and then the Bylock! Wow! Even I’m happy with that one 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great machine. My grandmother had one (R.I.P. who passed away at the age of 97 last year). She let me use it when I was about 8 years old. It really was a great machine getting all of the muck out of the carpets. I do miss the hoovers that have the cloth outer bags that hold the inner dust bag. I wonder why they were phased out? I am guessing that the more modern hoovers with the hard plastic bodies were more hygenic and easier to clean as the outer body could easily be wiped with a duster or cloth. Having said that; couldn't the cloth outer bag on an older hoover be washed and freshened up? Kind regards. Jason.
Diamondblade2008 hi Jason 😘. Thank you for your message. I remember my grandmothers neighbour having a junior, I think it was a mustard colour bagged. They were phased out for clean air machines that needed a sealed system, although Kirby are still going very strong! The cloth bags are very easily cleaned up, just have a look in othe rvids on how I’ve done it good and disaster 🤣🤣🤣
@@HooverLux Hi Dorian how are you and thanks for your reply. I always thought that the cloth outer bags could be put in a washing machine to be freshened up (though I could well be wrong). Regarding your comment about clean air machines; didn't the cloth outer bag act as a filter in its own right? (hence my theoretical advantage of 'washing' it to get rid of any trapped dust) as Im aware those machines didn't have a seperate filter that needed cleaning like most modern vacuum cleaners.
Diamondblade2008 I personally only wash them all by hand using a hand wash non bio detergent. I won’t take the risk anymore regardless of what people say. It did act as filter of some basic sort, that’s why I always use Sebo modern bags with them now, if they were available in those says they would have been used definitely
@@HooverLux Thanks for your reply. It has been informative. Going back to my earlier post one reason why I do miss the cloth bag vacuum cleaners is their 'vintage' and 'purposeful' look. They were designed to do a fundamental job of cleaning the carpet without the gaudy ''star trek'' look on most vacuums. My wife and I have a bagged Miele cylinder cleaner with the air-driven turbo floor tool. To me its the best of all worlds; a self-sealing bag to keep the dust in order without spilling and the turbo head to deep clean my rugs and carpets; yet work equally well on hard floors.
Diamondblade2008 I agree with you, especially Shark machines, they look like something McGiver put together at the pound store. I really do love the Miele cylinders, that turbo head is one of the best out there for air powered. This old junior does such a good job on carpets, just not so good for anything else, which I guess is why Hoover has the Hooverette and the other range back in the day. As you saw what it picked up in that demo of mine, it’s really quite good.

Hi Dorian excellent series of videos. I enjoyed every one of them
Dave Debang-bang Hey Dave. Thank you so much my friend. It’s comments like that, that make it all worth while. Thank you 🙏🏻 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
I love that teal room. Teal is my favorite color.
Excelsior C I also love the colour teal. I have teal bits in our bedroom, in the wallpaper, some accessories. Teal and white.
