That looks interesting. What's your take on that cleaner, Jack?

I assume it's an air-powered turbine-head?

It is me, or does the price seems awfully low...?
 
Hi Fred - it's actually not too bad, and it's an electric powerhead, as opposed to an air-driven turbine. It's one of the few multi-cyclonic rivals for the Dyson DC23 Motorhead - you won't get the same quality, overall efficiency, or 5-year warranty, but the price is correspondingly much lower.

For anyone who's not averse to TTI, and doesn't have a grudge against plastic/multi-cyclonic technology, it's probably quite a good deal. Definitely worth getting hold of to play with!
 
...against plastic/multi-cyclonic technology... getting hold

they do have a rather toy like quality to them
 
Kinda reminds me of those dyson canister vacuums. My aunt had one and i used it. Then she accused me of breaking it. WHICH I DIDNT! It was a very good vacuum AHHH! OFF TOPIC!
 
It's hard to give an accurate reply, because I can't tell from the photos exactly what modifications Hoover have made to their version. Doing something as simple as adding stiffer bristles, or slightly reducing the power, could have made a big impact on pick-up or separation efficiency. The Vax Mach Air vs. Hoover WindTunnel Air is a good example of this - my assessment of the Mach Air's performance doesn't really apply to the WindTunnel Air. I wouldn't call the Vax Mach 3 an aggressive cleaner, but it's a level above straight suction or air-driven turbos.

If someone from the forum does decide to buy one, I hope they'll share their photos/videos and opinions on here!
 
I'll stick one on my order next week. TTI has not done anything excessively exciting or successful with their other attempts to make a knock off Dyson. I do enjoy the Platinum Cyclonic Canister (S3865), but I think the power nozzle is what makes that machine.
 
I think the power nozzle is what makes that machine.

yes it does, it leaves the old wind tunnel power nozzle in the dust.

royal uses it on their top of the line canister that looks just like the hoover anniversary canister

TTI strikes again
 
I have one.

I bought one of these Hoovers last month. It is my current daily driver. The hose does not swivel at either the machine end or the wand end. The suction is out of control and it really keeps going as the bin fills up. I love the power nozzle. The motor is situated in the center and the air channels are on either side. I have flat apartment style rug in my apartment so the nozzle just glides over it. The nozzle can be turned off for floor cleaning. The handle houses two tiny attachments, a crevice tool and a funny duster. 1 1/4" tools will fit on the hose or the wand. I would like to see a bleeder valve to reduce the suction when cleaning delicate things. It would be fun to see how it measures up in the convention cleaning competition! I bought mine at Target for $149.00
 
I tottally agree with joe

nice looking but also cheap looking

almost like a toy

thats why i like older ones
 
Why are all of your downing it if you have never even used i

Because that's what the forum does. They're all such "experts", they don't even need to give something a try before passing judgement!
 
the grown-ups are talking

many of the opinions expressed here are based on past experience with the products put out by tti since it took over hoover. they include personal and professional(vac store owners)observations

@animebsd thanks
