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.
 
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.

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.
