I agree 100% with the idea that they rapidly declined as the years went on, well before the brand went to Candy and Maytag (and now TTI outside of Europe). It is typical of large companies, they tend to get to a point where innovation becomes difficult and seemingly unnecessary to those within the company. Upper management of large companies tend to develop a sort of arrogance when the company is doing well, which ultimately ends up stifling the kind of innovation that is crucial for consumer product manufacturers to stay in business.


Of course, greed is a large part of why the Hoover brand is now split up between various companies across the globe. I wonder what the Hoover brand would look like today if it hadn't been for the free flights fiasco.
