The Model 825 was one of the final unstreamlined large Hoover uprights to be built, and is also an early Perivale machine, dating from about 1935. There are detail changes from the Model 750, but the influence of the auto industry is self-evident in some of the fittings. The rectangluar badge that curves round the nozzle is strongly reminiscent of the Chrysler Airflow car of 1934, and the cleaner also features a gimmick that was sometimes found on luxury cars of the period - a badge that illuminates when the machine is running. This Hoover was bought from Ebay. The seller had rescued it from a local library that was being demolished. The flex was missing, but the machine runs well now one has been fitted. |
