Hart Vacuums?

[huskyvacs]

Anyone know what the deal is with Hart vacuums? They just showed up out of nowhere on Walmart.com.

This one looks like a Hoover Power Drive. https://tinyurl.com/3a73r7x9

Hart

Originally made hammers. There was marts store brand instead of hyper tough. It's a tool line that is ok.

It's your typical Walmart exclusive product being fulfilled by TTI.

Oh okay, so it's a store re-brand then, that makes sense. I think this is the first time Walmart has done that with vacuums.

I

Would think of it how shop vacuum get branded shop vacuum. This is Hart who makes tools. There tools are right up.there with harbor freight bottom of the line products. Store branded vacuums are descent this is a joke.

I have a Hoover Power Drive Pet, would be interesting to get a Hart vacuum and compare how different they are, how much was changed.

I’m surprised….

If this is Walmart’s house brand that they didn’t call it the “Great Value” brand with the GV logo on it!

Come to think of it I think they had a house brand line once before called DURABRAND. It was junk.

More disposable vacuums being made. Parts for this?….Ahh yeah, that would be a NO!

More landfill filler being made in CHINA.

If the parts are the same as Hoover Power Drive, you can use Hoover parts on it. I use Kenmore parts on my Aldi Easy Home vacs because they started out as a Kenmore mold.

Yes I remember Durabrand, it was a re-badgered Funai product, still have the little CRT in my garage I had in the camper bought right at the end of the CRT era.

Wal-Mart also used the General Electric name on vacuums made by Eureka exclusively for Wal-Mart as General Electrics. Eureka continued to make the same cleaners under the Eureka name for sales in places other than Wal-Mart.

Stores have done this for decades. Remember the Flor Genie for K-Mart? Was really a Singer.

I have no problem with that, so long as vacuum stores can get parts for them. If the parts are the same as Hoover for Hart machines, then you’re all set.

 

[lesinutah]

Wow

I assumed it was a power tool type shop vacuum not the next dirt devil. Hart tools were made in America this idk.

I’ve seen a lot of ads on YouTube for hart cordless vacs. This is the first time I’m seeing a full sized corded upright model. Just another brand engineered product, different colors and new logo but it doesn’t even pretend to stray from the Hoover design. Kind of like the new Hoover one power hepa bagged cordless upright. It’s just a rebadged and recolored Oreck elevate cordless.

Walmart's current electronics line is "Onn". They also stopped using the GE name on small appliances about 8 or 10 years ago and switched to Farberware, which is kind of odd because some Farberware stuff is really Farberware, while Walmart's line is mostly exclusive to Walmart. I think most of that line and the former GE smalls is made by Rival, Hamilton Beach, Jarden Group, et al, but most of the Farberware and former Walmart GE stuff is different enough that you can't tell.

The Eureka/Walmart GE canister vacs were actually pretty good, especially for the price. They ranked well in Consumer Reports at the time.
