I won this some time ago on ebay for just over £5. Came from a nice elderly couple, owned from new etc, just what all us collectors like to see

Whilst tidying the shed, I found my Permabag 2, Hoover's first generation bagless collection system, cobbled together when Dyson started to take over the market. I've had this for years but never used it, so thought I would refurb it along with the machine, mainly to get it out of the shed!

The inner box slides out of the cage, showing the years of dirt that have seeped through, apparently the system was, for want of a better word, shit!

Ducting replaced. When I finished, I noticed there was no suction, I hadn't clipped the top duct into the fancase properly, so make sure it snaps in fully

A week or so after I picked the machine up, the previous owner messaged me to say they had found the manual and guarantee, and would I like them? I said yes please, and went and picked them up, which is great as now I have a very complete TP2, the only way it could be better is if they had the box!

With the machine re-assembled, I had a vacuum with it
it seems to work very well as this is what it picked up after that video

This rug is vacuumed regularly with the Miele AccuNova, but the AccuNova isn't a very deep cleaning head
I then went up into the loft to get the red TP2 out for a bit of a photo shoot

Happy to have this one, I feel the TP2 collection should grow a bit, they are very very good cleaners, better with a proper paper bag fitted though!
-
I quite enjoyed reading as usual ;D
This Hoover thread was interesting for me, I know what a Permabag is now and I thought it was a pointless plastic cage for the bag so it wouldn't rip or something! :|
I would like a TP2 now, along with a TP1/Junior I think that would be really cool. I like the red one you have, think it looks great :thumbsup: Not triedone so I;m not sure what the performance it's comparable to
-
How long dose it take for the bag to clog?
-
It seems fine still, but ive been told not long, then it's a pig to clean and needs another vacuum to do it.
I had a hoover discovery with the same system once, and that clogged up really fast. If I ever need to use this in anger ill pop a proper bag in!
