Hoover S4488 Aquajet Multi Function Vacuum Cleaner Demonstration & Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 апр 2024
- This Hoover Aquajet dates from 1993 and was made in the Hoover factory in Cambuslang Scotland. This example is in pretty good shape and worked straight out of the box unlike the previous model I’ve shown which needed a little tweaking. Unlike the Hoover Aquamaster, the Aquajet featured a built in pump so it was easier to use for upholstery, stair and car cleaning. Sold as a five in one cleaner, this machine was a dry vacuum, a wet pick up vacuum, upholstery cleaner, carpet cleaner and floor washer.

Loved the blooper at the end! 😁🤣
Is there a videos worth of bloopers I wonder... 🤔
I have put blooper videos on my channel, but these days I don’t tend to have that many.
I think the AquaMaster should have a foam filter around the cage nice Machine 👍
I thought that there was a foam filter in the Aquamaster but it’s not shown in the service data or instruction book for the Aquamaster or Aquajet. I think there may have been one on the Aqua Plus machines, but I could be wrong.
Roger, I was wondering. Did you all have that Hoover jingle that was in those Hoover commercials in the 90’s and early 2000’s like we did here in America. I’ve always liked that jingle. It went like, “Hoover! Nobody does it like you!”
No, we never had that jingle in the UK.
Does the AquaMaster/Jet use a foam sleeve on the float cage? For my wet and dry vacuum cleaners they usually have an open-core foam sleeve that goes in place of the filter cartridge. It's supposed to keep larger debris out of the vacuum fan.
Back in the 80s some other machines like Bissel's early carpet cleaner and Rexair's Rainbow Aquamate the wand connected to the sink. The AquaMate had the advantage of the solution bottle on the handle and you flipped a lever to go from "Wash" to "Rinse." The newest self-contained power nozzle Aquamate still has this built in, but it's foot actuated.
No, non of the Aquamaster or Aquajet models I’ve shown on my channel had a foam sleeve over the float cage, but I seem to remember one fitted to an earlier Hoover wet and dry model I used to own.
@@ibaisaic Interesting.
Can you do a review on the Laresar elite 7 please I have it and I think it’s amazing but would love to hear what your opinion is
I’m glad you’re happy with yours, but it’s not something I am interested in buying.
Can i ask an unrelated question wonder if anyone knows, But when did the law come into force in the uk for plugs to be moulded onto vacuum cables and other household electricals? Also lovely Aquajet! ☺️
In 1992, UK appliances came with plugs fitted on the mains cable.
There has never been a law or any other requirement for portable appliances sold here in the UK to have a moulded plug, although since January 1995, practically all portable appliances sold here have been required to have a factory fitted plug, and very often the plug is a rewireable type and not a moulded plug. However, although the law changed in January 1995, there was a 12-month grace period where those appliances which had already been manufactured before 1995 could still be sold without plugs.
In reality, manufacturers and retailers had already taken action, as several years notice was given of the up-coming change in regulations. Thus, from the early 1990s, it became increasingly common for appliances to have plugs factory fitted, and if you look through some of the Argos catalouges online (particularly 1993 to 1995) you will see those appliances with plugs fitted get a mention of it, and/or a little 3-pin plug icon displayed next to the picture.
Some retailers took action too, in the case of British Home Stores they employed suitably qualified people to go into their stores and fit plugs to all their portable lighting stock before the January of 1995.
Prior to all of this, there was no requirement for plugs to be fitted, but again manufacturers and retailers frequently took matters into their own hands. From the mid 1970s onwards, it was very common to find plugs factory fitted to white goods from the mid to high-end brands, indeed the absence of a plug did in itself indicate the appliance was from the cheaper end of the market.
If an appliance was exclusive to the Electricity Board showrooms (often - but not always - these would be branded with a regional name such as EMELEC or MIDELEC, and then later on generically Electra across all regions), those appliances would have a factory fitted plug as an indication of the advantages the consumer had by purchasing from a range of appliances designed & tested to the Electricity Board's superior standards.
From 1976, Morphy Richards had factory fitted plugs to almost all their portable appliances - initially, and for a very, very short period, this was a moulded plug, but by 1977 Morphy Richards had moved across to the MK rewireable 'safety' plug, with the Morphy Richards name being on the plug in place of the letters MK. Indeed, if you search youtube for "vintage morphy richards advert" you will find TV commercials that feature the plug as part or all of the advertising campaign. Around 1981, Morphy Richards then dropped the MK plug in favour of the cheaper Volex PENCON plug.
This remained so until about 1983, when House of Carmen took over the brand and dispensed with the plugs altogether. This was a classic example of balancing cost against added value - given that virtually no other manufacturer of small appliances was fitting plugs to their appliances sold in the UK, by no longer having a plug on the Morphy Richards appliances was hardly a disadvantage to them, and furthermore, it would have been almost impossible to measure how much the cost of fitting plugs was paying off in terms of winning the customer over.
As a side note, as a child of the late 70s as I am, I recall well the Morphy Richards branded MK plugs being a common sight, and in the case of irons it was not at all unusual to see an iron of another make in use with a Morphy Richards plug on it, simply because when the Morphy Richards iron died, the plug would be taken off and fitted to the new iron. Indeed, my mother had a Rowenta iron with a Morphy Richards plug on it as it came off the previous iron, and said plug was then fitted to at least two replacement flexes that the Rowenta went through. When that iron broke, the plug was fitted to a Tefal iron, though I know this was the last iron it was ever attached to for some reason.
Aside from all of this, the other biggest change in regulation came in 1984 when the recommendation for partially sleeved live & neutral pins was put through; the sleeved pins offered protection from electric shock to the fingers of those who were pulling out the plug from the socket & may otherwise have been able to touch the live pins, particularly when unplugging from extention sockets and adaptors as opposed to wall sockets, as these were typically smaller than wall sockets & afforded more opportunity for fingers to fit in the gap between the plug & the socket when the plug was pulled. Some manufacturers of plugs (MK being the market leader, but also the likes of Crabtree offering the same on their top-end plugs) had been providing part insulated pins long before 1984. However, although the recommendation was made in 1984, it was to be a further three years (1987) before it became compulsory for all new plugs sold in the UK to have part insulated pins.
Maybe if you cleaned it thoroughly and sort the rust out it’ll have stronger suction
Wow
It’s better than a Modern day machine, you’d put 5 litres in and get 2 litres out, karcher puzzi 4/1c I can put 5 litres down and pull about 4.5 litres back out, I have a bissell hydrosteam upright that pulls about same as karcher out.
You’ve not shown a full demonstration of your bissell big green machine yet? we’ve seen the unboxing, I cought glimps of the back of it behind you in the electric typewriter video you posted on your other channel.
Keep in mind if you have modern ultraplush carpet it's going to hold more water like a bath mat. It will take a lot of effort to get all the water out of the fibers. It is more susceptible to mold and harder to remove stains. Compared to simple nylon carpet which sheds water (which you had to be careful not to overly wet and get the foam underpad soaked which would ruin it and your subfloor)
The floor under my living room carpet is solid concrete, so it’s unlikely to be ruined by washing my carpet.
I will be taking the Bissell Big Green to my Mum’s to clean all her carpets soon, so I will film that. It’s the main machine I use now if I want to get the dirt and stains out of my living room carpet and it’s the one that extracts the most water.
@@huskyvacs I have old nylon carpets and Axminster wool carpets in my home no modern stuff only the kitchen and bathroom are cushioned Lino flooring and with my karcher and bissell the carpets dry within 1 hour with good airflow from fans circulating the air in the room
@@huskyvacs Well, yes, it may hold the water in but I guess if you plan on cleaning your own carpets, it's good to have air movers (fans) and a dehumidifier or two around as well to help in drying. I have a 4 speed furnace fan in the basement for this purpose. It goes from fairly low air speed to hurricane force. Funny enough, on hurricane force it has enough thrust to push itself backwards on the casters, even when they're locked so I usually have to have something heavy behind to anchor it
at 8:16 it sounds like an old electric hovermower startup
You are my favourite RUclipsr can I please have a shoutout I have been watching you since I was 4
Why Are You Spending Your Time Vacuuming?
It’s better than doing drugs, getting drunk or worshiping Satan. It’s also the main subject of my RUclips channel with over 150,000 subscribers who like to see me vacuuming, washing carpets and reviewing floorcare appliances.
