    Hoover Price Drop

    Has anyone noticed that Hoover has dropped the price of its Platinum line. The bagless upright was originally $449. Their website now lists it for $299. The bagged upright was originally $399. It now lists for $299 also. I guess its premium line isn't selling as well as they had anticipated...

    Filter Queen Optima

    Has anyone ever seen a Filter Queen Optima? I think it was FQ's attempt to create a bagged vacuum. I contacted FQ and they can do a conversion for $199 plus shipping. That includes putting a new motor in it, a filter cone, and new dust bucket. I scrounged around and found everything I needed for...
