It had to be early 2000's if I were to guess.

Kmart sold that thing back in the day.

The bagged Maytag machines are better in every regard. Teal is a nice color.

In the movie Mrs. Doubtfire, a Hoover Elite was featured. I have to think if the late Robin Williams was a vacuum enthusiast himself, not just an actor known for ad-libbing and suicide jokes who showcased his singing talents as the Genie in Aladdin. Well, he's been dead since 2014, so I don't...

fantomtechguy Where have you been all this time?

I remember back in the days when ttuee2006 aka Eric was online, his videos were centered around a Tristar CXL.

That's good intel, keep it up!

Made in September 1989.

I know of one female vacuum enthusiast: naturaldirtqueen.

carpetbagger You're better off with a bagged upright vacuum. DO NOT BUY A BAGLESS MACHINE!

The Windtunnel technology is a gimmick, which also means more to go wrong. Cleans carpets better than any other leading brand my ass.

I can't read the serial number on photo 5.
