Another New Hoover!

HERE IT IS!

I saw a review where someone had similar problems, only it was the filter design.

I have had..

many similar Eurekas. Just from finding them in the garbage to sell on Craigslist or getting them in for repair. When they are clean, the suction is great, and it really pulls itself, because, at least I know the Altima does, has a very decent brushroll. But they lose suction very fast

Eureka pet vacs

This is the vac I bought at the Sally Anne last summer for $12. It was complete except for the spin duster which I got new on eBay for about $10. Once I cleaned it out real well, and replaced all the filters, it is actually not a bad vacuum. Not my favorite, of course, but not bad.

Yours looks like a different design. That or we and a couple others got a lemon. There IS however a good vacuum sold at stores wuch as Wal-Mart, Kmart, etc. and that is the Dirt Devil Ultra Swivel Glide. They don't make them anymore and I haven't seen them in stores for about 5 years at least. We've had ours for about 8-10 years now. It was survived my dad's temper, being dragged outside for use on cars, it has survived my bother, the thing won't die! My dad's is purple and came with a black Turbo Tool. My mom's was tan and it bit the dust a few years ago, but it was older I think. That one had a weird triangle-shaped attatchment that fit into the lid on the front.

Anybody have any pics of that hoover canister vac? Has anyone bought it yet?

Yeah you definitely don't have the Eureka I have, mine is the Smartvac 4870 BAGGED. It's the only modern plastic clean air Eureka that I really like, and they ARE impossible to clog, sucking up whole paper towels is nothing for it, airflow is immense too.
Brushroll performance is very similar to the Windtunnel models.

I've had enough bagless vacuums in the past that I never want to own or buy one again.
hahaha you sniffed me out (or had a look at my profile lol)...I'm 16.

I'm out of touch

I have not been in a vac shop, other than to buy things, so I am VERY much out of the loop. Has Hoover or Royal changed hands? I have noticed that Oreck is selling relabeled Sanitaires, Dirt Devil and Hoover seem to be selling some of the same things. What have I missed since 2006?

Justin,
Hoover, Royal, and Dirt Devil are all manufactured now by TTI Floor Care North America. Hence the similarity in machines. Hoover, Dirt Devil, and Royal are no longer made in the U.S.A. The company does maintain a customer service network here. Hope that answers your question, have a good day! Craig

Hoover, Royal and Dirt Devil (probably brands I missed there too) are all owned by TTI, a chinese company... (I'll let someone else elaborate on what that means) That's the latest thing that's happened, that was 2007 I believe.

hahahaha You beat me to the punch.

 

[eurekaprince]

TTI also owns Vax in Europe which is the name put on some of the American Hoovers being sold in Great Britain.

It may soon be hard to tell the "chicken" or "egg" with TTI vacs...which one came first!!!! Just like Sweden's Electrolux does, TTI mixes and matches names and models across the world now. The bagged Hoover WindTunnel canister we see in North America uses a canister unit sold as a Dirt Devil in Germany. The Hoover Platinum stick vac is a Vax in England. We are seeing Royal Procision vacs now sold as Dirt Devils in North America. So TTI vacs can be made of many different Hoover / Dirt Devil / Royal / Vax components now and labelled differently depending on the country they are being sold in.

Sounds like modern GM cars. Most of the time, the only difference is a badge.
