John Gregory-- Thank you for the feedback. Glad the two of us agree again. I knew my feelings were legitimate of why I've never the considered the Duros "A True Hoover". Since the first time, I ever saw it on their website, my thought was "Really, we're stamping Hoover on Sanyo stuff now!" The one thing I liked about them, was the box. The Duros box was teal blue and had a picture of the agitator cavity on it. Since I love pictures of agitator cavity's I thought that was neat!!
John Long-- Your solution is simple: Anything with a power nozzle!! So you're 2 mint green Celebrity's, new Spirit and sure why not some of those Constellations you have lying around.
I hope someone has a Hoover Guardsman and Hoover Celebrity Elite II to post. We need more Celebrities on here!!
