I believe that was a European or British model? I don't remember seeing them here but they definitely turn up so evidently they were introduced to our market at some point. If I remember right the local shop owner said they were halfway decent! Not the best quality but I wouldn't pass on it if the price was nice

That was a Hoover sold in the US in the early to mid 2000s as one of their cheap end models. They came in bagless and bagged configurations and had several different names such as Preferred, Sprint, Spirit etc. Around that time there was also a bagless in similar price range called the Sprint (a different model completely) with the same bagless set up as the bagless Tempos.

Another couple of Hoovers that weren't really talked about alot are the central vacs like the PowerMax and one of their Double Duty commercial uprights like the C1884 for example.
I was thinking, once, about
Getting centrL vac. ..HOOVER,of course. No longer made.

There were Hoover garage vacuums too that mount on the wall. Came with a huge coil of hose. Every time I try to get one I get outbid by scalpers.

The company who made almost every central vac for Hoover is still around today called Cana-Vac. They're even making them for Maytag today who once owned Hoover.

The Hoover shop vacuum!
I found one last year on Marketplace and should have snagged it. That two tank idea is brilliant and I was able to track down replacement filters for it online. Anyone have any experience with these? Picture borrowed from another thread on here

Never knew Hoover made a shop-vac. It must be rare because I never seen one in all this time. With Shop-Vac holding the monopoly on shop-vacs, it could not have been easy to sell them, which is likely why few bought them. I would imagine the quality would be better since they were likely sold for a higher price point.

I have always been a lover of Hoover power head canisters. From the early Celebrity to the later PowerMax/ Futura/ Spectrum/ Windtunnel S bag style units. I really like them.
We also can't forget the awesome headlight of their Decade style hoods as seen in the last photo.

Yes, my grandfather owns one. It's a good machine overall. My only criticisms though is that the dry tank doesn't hold very much and it's pretty loud.

I could be wrong but....
Wasn't the Hoover Shop Vac what Day Day was playing around with while smoking pot in "Next Friday"? Or was that a different one?

Never saw this.....
A green translucent Hoover Windtunnel Supreme (BEFORE they started labeling their machines as 12 amp) with an electronic bag indicator. This ones new to me. These are definitely among the best Hoover ever made.

There's a Hoover in the back of the first photo that looks to be a Clarke/Nilfisk Advance recolor (as well as a few other uncommon forgotten machines). The second is of my Windtunnel Supreme U5450-900. It has the less common electronic bag check indicator.

Lets not forget...
The famous Hoover Z. Hated by many. I actually though they were cool machines. The only problem was that they weighed 500 pounds. LOL> It was just a cool looking design.I tried one and when I tried the suction from the hose it didn't feel like the suction was all that good.

I was looking through Google on Hoover Tempos and never seen either of these two before. I thought the bagless one was always yellow.
Hoover SteamVac Jr.
Now THIS is a forgotten machine. The SteamVac Jr., dating from the late 90s-early 2000s, is a portable deep cleaner along the lines of the Bissell Little Green. The only videos I've been able to find of it were some commercials, along with an unboxing video (the user found one at a thrift store). There are absolutely NO videos of the SteamVac Jr. in action, so I've never been able to hear what it sounds like.

I remember seeing one that was NIB at a thrift store, but I didn't pick it up sadly. There are plenty of ads for them on Youtube, and they pop up on Ebay semi-frequently, and I was briefly considering getting one to use as a spot cleaner.

The FIRST Hoover SteamVac (no spinscrub)
I wouldn't say it's forgotten, but the First Steamvac? its super hard to find videos about the thing, which is strange considering it's such a huge part of vacuum cleaner history.

Hoover Professional Series (Windtunnel)
Came across a picture here of it on this site awhile back. Really nice ruby red color. Anyone have anymore information on this one, or if it's still available anywhere?

Hoover Whisper Cyclonic
These were great vacuums. My mother had one when I was in my early teenage years. This was a true multi-cyclonic vacuum with other great features such as a handle/wand combo, very long stretch hose, and soft motor start. It was a two motor vacuum, too, and it was indeed very quiet. Really a great deal for the $97 they asked for back before it was discontinued.
Good luck finding one now.
