Hoover "Dimension" Preferred

This one looks really nice and I couldve sworn something like this was being sold at Walmart a LONG time ago. A Hoover Preferred styled "Dimension". Kind of looks like the Breathe Easy but I like the red on this one ALOT more.

Hoover Windtunnel Mach6

I don’t have a picture of this vacuum right now and I’ll have to see if my grandma still owns, or if someone has a picture of it, but it was a fairly big machine that was silver with a bright green accent color. It was the first of what I remember of Hoovers bagless vacuums here in the US. If I remember correctly it was just a rebadged Vax Model for the US. It was a pretty good vacuum from what I remember definitely on the heavier side but she loved it and used it till she eventually got a shark a few years ago.

Another rare Windtunnel?

A translucent green Windtunnel Supreme, usually in blue or black. Never seen a green one except one labeled as Widepath.

Saved this Hoover from the trash man. Works great, just needed a good cleaning. The attachments were all there and the self propelled works great. I remember these in all the Service Merchandise and Sears ads of the 90s. Anytime I’d go in those stores, these would be on a big display.

Hoover Widepath Bagless

For some reason these have become really elusive. Probably not Hoovers greatest bagless but id assume better than the dirty fan Twin Chambers. I'd certainly like to get one for the nostalgic factor. Especially the one in teal (left). Saw one in Target years ago next to what was the last of the Elites (right) produced.

My grandfather had a Widepath before up at his cabin, it shortly got replaced by a Kenmore 2621 that he still has and uses today. I don't remember it too well anymore but this is as close as memory serves.

Hoover Pet Vac Rewind Legacy

This is basically a Hoover Elite Rewind but it is called "pet vac" and is a metallic purple and grey color. I have one that I was lucky to get but they are pretty rare.

What about the purple or is it green Hoover preferred it's not an Elite but more like
a clean air designed Windtunnel.

Here’s something for y’all

So awhile back I posted about this Hoover Windtunnel Mach 6 and I was finally able to find it! I don’t really know to much about this machine and I can’t find any information on it anywhere. Excuse the dirtiness of it, my grandma has me doing a service on it.

Spirit

Here is a vacuum known as the Hoover Spirit

 

[powerstarenergy]

Zoom

Here is a machine called the Hoover Zoom. I actually don't think that this one was released in America because on every website it has .au which means Australia.

Hoover Preferred

I just noticed that the Hoover Spirit is a rebadge of the Hoover Preferred. I guess that's why you look at the image before finding a random product on google.

 

[centralvacs1928]

I do remember there being a mid to late 1990s Hoover Elite model which they called the "Constellation"...saw one once years ago at the local grocery store!

 

[panasonicvac]

I just discovered this

I didn't realized that Hoover had these vacuums that were made by Sandia Products called the Ground Command CH85005 10 Quart, the same company who also makes Raven backpack machines. I wish they were still selling them because I think they make the best backpacks on the market.

Dont exactly know how uncommon.....

The green translucent version of the Widepath seems to be harder to find many pictures of on the internet compared to the Red and Blue (which I think were sold at Kmart and Sears respectively but I could be wrong), which is weird because the green version was the one they always directly showed on Hoover's old website. Wondering if green was the dealership model. Only this photo and one video on YT are all I know of outside of like the old Amazon photo of it.

I've had a Tempo

Years ago. It was my first Elite style and I ran that thing until the bearings gave out. That machine ignited a love of the platform and I've had so many variations through the years now. I currently have a PowerDrive Supreme, not quite an Elite but same idea. She runs almost as good as new, and I was fortunate enough to get an NOS brush roll for it. Hoover had some excellent stuff in the 90s and 2000s, and even some early TTI stuff that was grossly underrated.

Pictures to follow, don't know if they'll be in order. My PowerDrive, the Tempo I used to have, and the Cyclonic Cleaning System my dad had at one point. He bought it for under $80 from Kroger and it performed admirably for several years before it was given to a friend in need. Some people didn't like the cyclone design, but being an enthusiast I maintained it and the filter consistently and had no issues. It was remarkably quiet too if I remember right

EvolutionClean1

Ain't that the truth! My grandmother had a Hoover Fold Away Widepath and with a decent amount of maintenance and care, the vacuum ran strong for 10 years! Good upkeep goes a LONG way!

Does this count?

I thought this was one of the Maytag builds, it is not. Those were the nice top of the line self propelled ones and the bagless twin chambers. Still though, was excited to find this today. Should clean up nice
