There's that. Those Runabout pics I found online that are essentially rebadged Fold Away, Telios, Windtunnel/Tempo, Spirit, Sprint upright, and Futura machines, they're kind of a rarity. All I know is that they were Kmart exclusives back in the day.
 
As panasonicvac stated

The rare Windtunnel Widepath LS. An extremely rare translucent variant of the Limited. Honestly has to be one of the coolest windtunnels I ever saw.

THere usued to be old QVC photos of the hoovers they sold in the 1990s and the turbopower 5200 was one of them. Theres some photos of it on flickr as well. Surprisingly that one is more common than the Widepath LS. My aunt had the version with no dirt finder, the 5100. So did my mother before a screw was sucked up and burnt the belt out.
 
I guess this one qualifies. I've never been able to find any videos, pictures, or information about it.
The Deluxe Convertible, Model U4145.
I "fostered" this one for a while, before passing it along to its rightful owner.
Sorry again for the sideways picture. I'll never understand how to turn them the right way.

There was one particular Hoover

That are used to own, it was pretty unique as it didn’t involve any sort of cyclonic technology but it was still Baklis, there were three filters I think, a screen to prevent all the hair in large dust particles clogging the filter a large particulate filter and a small particular filter, so that worked extremely well, both in dust particle filtering and in cleaning the carpets, as back, so that worked extremely well, both in dust particle filtering and in cleaning the carpets, as back before my mum had replaced the carpet in her Bedroom, that Vacuum was literally sucking up loose bits of pile, as you could see the white fibres in the dust collection tank, that machine was awesome
 
I've never seen the late 90s Legacy! One from the mid 90s but never this one. Hoover definitely has the most interesting rarities
 
There seems to be only one YouTube clip of the rare Hoover “Denim” Convertible….see the link below.

This blue jeans Levis vacuum is a model I rarely see on EBay or even on Vacuumland…must have really been a limited edition. Love the tan leather name badge sewn onto the denim bag!!!!

 
You don't see the Hoover Sprint terribly often either. It looks like the green bagless Runabout upright a few posts up except its in silver. I have a 12v corded version of the Hoover Dubl-Duty Wet/Dry Hand Vac rebranded as the Hoover Road Rat. It has a bag it and it's two attachment slide into. We keep that in my wife's Volkswagen Atlas as we have a one year old and a four year old and accidents happen. I'll try to snap some pictures of the Road Rat tonight.
