Hoover 2614 Dustette Vacuum Cleaner Unboxing & Demonstration

This vintage hand held Hoover cleaner dates from the early 60's and came supplied with a hose and a selection of cleaning tools for all your above the floor cleaning jobs. This example was rather dirty and completely blocked, but you'll see it transformed in this video and demonstrated around the house. "The Hoover Dustette for dustless dusting."

[@MrRetroTechOffical]

Managed to score one of these in excellent condition with the original box and all the tools for only £41.50!

I remember my grandmother having one of these and using it as her main vacuum as she lived in an absolutely tiny flat, she bought a floor tool from a constellation and another wand. served until its 58th year in service. she now owns a SEBO Felix and she is currently 83 but still refuses to let anyone but herself clean 😂

I love vintage vacuum cleaners! You did an amazing job cleaning it up! Definitely another part of Hoover's legacy.

[@KirbyEnthusiast]

Quality unlike over priced plastic vacuums these days

[@geoff8832]

Hi Roger. This model was manufactured between January to June 1956. Enjoy your videos particularly the dustette ones. More please!!! Can you please do a video on how to remove the suppressor on your 2614C? On the earlier models it was in the handle. Looking forward to more dustette videos. Take care

"It is a high speed metal fan... that's all I'm saying" lmao! 😂😂😂

[@audreyfforbes-hamilton]

You made a beautiful job of cleaning it up! 💙

[@voceyc]

Love these dustettes, my Nan had one! I still have it along with a few others. 😅 managed to get an original box, and a cardboard display stand for the tools. The tools can go sticky over time but if you wash them they are fine. I’ve a few of the first paper bags for these I’ve not used yet too!

[@ArbokLover1618]

That is an amazing example of a Hoover Dustette. I would love to get one someday.

[@robdavis5711]

Very well done on cleaning it up… looks LOADS better!

[@The-Elfin-Knight]

65 year old machine! No dyson, Shark is going to last 65 years! Amazing!

[@ajc5869]

That machine is a bloddy work of art!!

[@Retro_andy_1977]

That has to be early to mid 1950s in date
And a really superb survivor in so complete condition

[@paulillingworth1242]

Lovely retro machine 😊

[@markrich7693]

That’s a good portable handy cleaner by Hoover I would love to see other Hoovers pretty soon

[@WJCTechyman]

Fascinating piece of equipment. I would say if you wanted to fix the fan, I would just balance it by filing off a small amount from the opposite fan blade, or blades.

[@davidgraham634]

Awesome Dustette Roger looks as if it's done no work 👍

[@janeclark4915]

I love vintage smells.. especially the old cb radios 😅

[@neilmansfield8329]

Love These vacuum cleaner

[@davidbell4548]

Hello Roger I have the hoover dustette 100 with the brown bag which is used occasionally I have a dirt devil vacuum cleaner in red the power of an upright hoover in the palm of your hand !

[@redwolfpiping5701]

Never had a dustette, but my grandmother had a GE handheld vac, I think it was a model 80?, used to have it a long time then it got lost

[@JudyJohnShone]

I am still using my Dustette model 2614 which I inherited from my mother before I emigrated to NZ in 1978. I recall her using it back in the 1960s when we lived in Bath. It still works a treat, but now I am on my last bag - help! Where can i get some more???

[@ibaisaic]

Try ebay. Hoover Junior bags that are still widely available can be cut down to fit.

[@JudyJohnShone]

@@ibaisaic will do, many thanks. Loved your video clip.

[@kamranalborzian82]

Awesome vaccum videos

[@bradynsgaming5859]

I know what you mean by other things but my question is what is going through someone's head while they try to do that with a vacuum

[@conzi119]

I live in Aberdeenshire so this was interesting

[@chiquita71]

Howls at the dirty protest. Very beautiful example tho

[@Boodieman72]

The natural fibers on the brush are so much better than they synthetic ones.

[@Mr.Mallardduck]

sublime

[@philliphurley5341]

Model 2504 which we had also replaced model 100.

[@aramis295]

Roger, how did this vintage 50s/60s vacuum get the name, Dustette, and why?

[@David-uf8ex]

Nice to keep the original plug on . Just use a shaver adapter. A beauty though

[@samuelfellows6923]

That would have to be a Euro adapter with a 10 amp fuse, most shaver adapters have a 2 amp fuse ~ that vintage vacuum would blow a 2 amp fuse

[@meandmyfish5353]

it looks like one of those pvc diy vacuum cleaners

[@philliphurley5341]

The Hoover Dustette model 2614 replaced model 100 in 1955.

[@Martin-xo2le]

very nice

[@fish_sticks_the_cat]

I think my Uncle had one of these It was Green i think

[@hoovernunez]

Si you mention a Company that change it’s accessories let’s say it’s Electrolux? I have an Electrolux Oxygen an small orange ball with a power floor tool and it has a very unique conector to the machine only some Voltas had it and then release a new model and they changed again 😂.

[@Homepage.]

Yes 😂 but I think he was talking about Dyson 😂

[@JamesAndTheBulldogsOfficial]

Wow

[@kamranalborzian82]

The hose looks like something used for a swather

[@robdavis5711]

When you see how crude (classic?) that is in comparison to a modern cordless Dyson you realise we’re definitely living in the 21st century!

[@ibaisaic]

I wonder if a Dyson will still be working in 60 years like this Hoover Dustette.

[@robdavis5711]

@@ibaisaic I sincerely doubt it!😀

[@bigred9428]

Next time you make a public service announcement, please wait until the end of your video. I did not hear a word you said after the PSA. Also, I'm a girl (U.S.A.).

[@ibaisaic]

I have absolutely NO idea what you’re talking about. Also I’m a man (ENGLAND).
