About MeUpright electric vacuum cleaner with fabric dust bag. The cleaner has a white-grey metal and plastic head with a pink rubber bumper around the front and sides, and a white and pink handle from which hangs an orange fabric dust bag with the printed brand name "Hoover". The pink electric cable is wound around clips on the upright handle and has a 3-pin plug (rectangular pins).

No visible maker's plate to identify model or serial number. A circular badge with the Hoover logo is on the front of the head.
