Hoover Vortex-a-Thon Part Four - The 1999 Hoover Vortex V2001

The Vortex-a-Thon concludes with the 'luxury' version of the original V2000 - the sister machine of the time, the V2001.

In this video we'll take a closer look at Hoover's first cyclonic bagless upright to feature S-Class HEPA filtration.

The naming of the filtration level on this cleaner really tweaks my interest; is it a HEPA filter or is it an S-Class filter? Or is it both? I always thought that the filtration levels went like this (from lowest efficiency to highest):

1. Microfilter
2. S-Class
3. Hospital Class (same as HEPA??)
4. HEPA

But this cleaner seems to combine two levels which is very strange. If you're able to give us some more detail on this then please leave a comment below.

I also need to talk to you about the broken chassis on this cleaner. I thought I'd repaired it effectively but it would seem not :(

Hope you enjoy the video! Don't forget to comment, like and subscribe for more crazy vacuum cleaner content!

I’m so jealous of that gorgeous fireplace you have 😫

On the V2000, the vibration dampening pad under the bin was removable. Excessive heat would cause this pad to soften and “stick” to the exhaust filters cover...

One different sounding vacuum cleaner but neat looking.

It is possible weld broken plastic by using a soldering iron cable ties and I have seen it done. It’s just a case of using the soldering iron to melt the cable tie around the area that you need to repair as d strengthen. Hopefully this will be possible in this particular case.
