Is the Hoover Elite really no-more?

Thing is though, retro sells. Whether its a car, or a coffee machine. There's no excuse for a brand NOT to follow the lead. Whilst it may not make business sense for models to fly off the shelf, it only takes ONE brand to do a retro 'heavy' for others to follow suit.

Though I can't speak for the U.S buyers, owners and market trends, Kitchenaid's retro mixers are a big hit in the U.S - they're heavy after all, as is our more modern British Kenwood Chef that is still an industry favourite - why should it therefore be different for vacuum cleaners? After all, Aerus is hardly modern when you look at their canisters vacuums.

Well, I have to agree with Tom. If Hoover gave the collectors what they wanted(A new version of the Celebrity or Convertible for example), they couldn't really sell it say next to a very modern looking Eureka,Dyson,Bissell,etc. The fact is that TTI will make a vacuum that they can sell that appeals to buyers and I think that the new Hoovers are also great. It may not last as long as say my Model 825 of my Model 61, but I really like them. My sister got a Windtunnel Air and she really likes it. She did say she would take her Royal 880 over it any day, but at the moment she needed a vacuum because her ex stole the Royal from her. I also like it, the last time I was at her house I tried it out and for her needs it works great, If I liked having a bagless vacuum(I don't really care for bagless), I'd Probably get one too.
