    Hoover Velocity VL81VL01

    This Machine gets a best buy from Which, But i Suspect it is made in the same factory as Vax, But why only 1 year warranty. Hoover Claim (or should I say Candy) (Hoover USA owned by TTI) that is on a promotion and will go up, I would never pay £259.99 for a chinese made Hoover
