Hoover innovative

What was the deal with the innovation uptight?
Didn’t seem to be around for long. Looked like a nice machine.

Clunky, expensive, and hard to find parts for. I had a red one but the bag zipper was very stuck and the brushroll bearings were shot, making it impossible to use. It'd be cool to find another one day.

It was a rebadged domestic import of the UK Hoover Turbomaster U4932. For what reason, don't know. Perhaps a trade agreement, perhaps were using up spare parts. They were not around long. It's a rare vacuum.
I got mine at Goodwill on 4/13/2021 for just $4.99. Ironically two people had just left with bagless Bissell vacuums right before I went in and left this one behind.

Inovation

Thanks I always wondered about these, when the pix shows up on the opening page of this websight. It looks like a good machine. Did it work well? There seems to be a hard body and a soft bag. Anyone know. If they worked well?

I have one, it’s quite a fine machine. The only issue with them is the weak plastic. Other than that, powerful, groom very nicely, not too loud and a pleasure to use. When in hose mode they have a good amount of airflow too.

I have 2 in different colors

plus NIB tools. The plastic can be an issue.

The cordwinders on the hard body version were troublesome and difficult to repair. I cursed my share of them. I called them the Hoovrah Aggravation. They were also really expensive, and while you could find them in retail stores, most were sold in Hoover Factory Service Centers and Showrooms. At least in St. Louis they were.

I do like the hardcase model

They’re a pain to find in working condition, but they’re so fun! Decent tool suction on them!
