    hoover z was a joint project of maytag and tacony during a time when maytag was dismantling north canton ohios main campus...true hoover enthusiasts know this was NEVER a true hoover product....just a poor idea of desparate maytag execs to compete with dysons onslaught of the american vacuum...
