FrankenHoover: A Hoover Elite 350 High Performance
Here is another installment of my video playlist FrankenHoover after a long hiatus, where I take and reconstruct different Hoover Elites and make one working vacuum, more so to test my creativity of making custom models. This creation was inspired by one of my collector friends who at one time customized one of his own Elites to look similar to this one. What I used to make this one is the foundation from my Hoover Elite 350 (ua-cam.com/video/79YZ0gjUtFM/v-deo.html), outer bag from my Elite High Performance (ua-cam.com/video/L7Am_kqOUyA/v-deo.html), and the motor from a Caddy Vac (ua-cam.com/video/MrazrAqnde4/v-deo.html). At 9:12, IT'S ALIVE, IT'S ALIVE!!

    OMG, I have one just like this but the outer bag with the stripe got split at some point in its past and eventually it was trash. I used a different bag that I sourced on eBay (text on bag is "Runabout Supreme Triple Filtration") that I knew would fit (21" in length, Type A inner vac bag.) And yes, my machine is actually a Hoover Elite 5.0, Model # U4601-900, but a search online showed me the image of your machine as a screenshot/thumbnail from UA-cam, so clicking on it out of curiosity led me here. From the low-res thumbnail result, I thought I was looking at the identical machine, the Elite 5.0. Hmmm, much closer up in your video, I see that the headlight assy is a bit different than the 5.0; still overall appearance looks so similar. Just fixed it up, too. Now what? Oh, and yes, I agree, the original cord is not long enough, but I never changed that out. This thing is amazing at what it does!!! You want it to clean up, YOU GOT IT.

    Not sure if this will help anyone else, but after wasting $140.00 on the wrong trimmer and several hours doing the research, I ended up returning it. Let me explain : This looked like a very good trimmer. Actually looks exactly like my "corded" version that finally gave it up after about 5 years use. So I wanted another B&D but I wanted cordless. Everyone raved about this model. That would be the LST40C. And with a cordless, a variable speed is a must. SOLD! Problem is... The model shown here IS NOT an LST40C. You see, the LST40C is the same model but with no variable speed dial. The actual model # of the one shown in this video is actually an LST36C. Exact same model but with the variable speed dial. Awesome video, and thanks.

    Very helpful video. I have a slightly different MTD. The deck height adjust lever comes through the rear fender on the right hand side but the deck operates the same way. On mine, there is a threaded nut that can be adjusted for the deck engagement/disengagement point. It took me a minute to find it because it’s very hidden but I knew kind of what I was looking for after watching this video. It’s a simple design once you understand it

      The converter actually snaps on the bottom of the vacuum where the brush roll is. Note how the converter is wide at the bottom, that was designed to clip onto the vacuum's rug plate on the bottom.

  • @eviecardinal

    I’m one of the only people that actually likes the twin chamber set up. I like it how it is easy to clean since there is no big cyclone with screws, you just turn the filter to get rid of the dust. It is messy, but definitely better than the Eureka whirlwind setup. I was shocked at how well these perform. These pick up so much fine dust and carpet fibers. I wish they offered a longer hose for these or made a stretch hose like they did for the self propelled and windtunnel supreme models. I always prefer the Maytag models compared to the TTI ones. The TTI models look generic looking, and they don’t sound that well compared to the Maytag motors. Sadly my model didn’t come with the turbo brush, but I know the original ones were better. I have the TTI turbo brush from another machine and the brushroll shaft gets clogged easily.

      @graysonsvacsandmowers5426 Місяць тому

      I don't dislike the system either, if anything, I believe it's very elaborate for being a mostly simple bagless system. My only gripes with it, are that is does NOT work well with the direct air Elite platform, but Windtunnel's and EmPower's, they're just fine. Just keep the filters clean (something that's quite a foreign concept to your average consumer), and it can last a long time.

    Hi Grayson, I recently picked up a vintage Hoover Convertible, and went to my local homegoods store to grab some Hoover Type C Bags. However, the bags I got do not have the separate spout, so it looks like anything I vacuum up will fall directly back down out of the bag. Any idea what the right kind of bag to get is, is it an older type C or something like that? Thanks kindly!

      Those type of bags with the built in fill tube are Royal Type A bags, or Eureka F&G bags. There are a few companies that have F&G bags in HEPA cloth config, which I prefer to use over the paper ones since they filter better than even the paper allergen ones, and they don't get plugged as easily on the fill tube restricting suction and airflow.
