Home shopping "Specials"?

[cuffs054]

While trying to figure out my Hoover TurboPower 4000, I found an old HSN site that appears to be where you could buy one. Did the manufacturers make "special models" just for them?

Yep! But usually vacuum companies would make a special color or pattern. Like Fantom made a bronze Fury for HSN, and Hoover made convertibles and elites with stripe-pattern bags for Kmart.
