My birthday gift from me to me!

Discontinued?

gusherb, yes they have been discontinued. Mine was made may of 2010. I guess there is a bunch of left over stock. Cant complain though!

ENJOY your gift!

I was under the impression that they'd still be made. Wrong. You have a nice machine there.

 

[vacuumfan96]

Thank you

gotthavehoove! I heard that john is helping design a new guardsman with a red hood. cant wait to see it!

Birthday gifts

My (early!!) Birthday present to myself was a nice lathe, with milling head. Not really vacuum-related I know (unless I start using it to clean-up chewed brushroll ends, or make new axle spindles), but thought I'd share that with you all... ;-)

All best

That is cool! Maybe you could do some projects like replicating some of the old hoovers! like the hoover baby? Cant think of specific model #'s atm. long day, lol! but you listed some cool uses for it like cleaning up chewed up brushroll ends ect... Enjoy!

I like that Hoover vacuum,as well-too bad the TTI folks aren't building those anymore-the price is a bargain for what you get.Would be a nice vacuum for someone with lots of carpet-but don't want to spend a lot on the vacuum.

Suggested retail is around $300 but still worth it IMO. I love the guardsman machines with a passion

 

[tolivac]

Even at $300 its pretty reasonable.Sanitaires can cost that much or more.Hoover Guardsman vacuums are very nice well made machines.If you want a "Convertable" style Hoover vac-this is as close as you will find today.For home use,should last a long time.For commercial use-who knows-commercial vacs often get abused by folks that don't own them.Life as a commercial vacuum cleaner is pretty rough.

As of today, they are in stock and ready to ship on the Hoover Dealer Portal....So they're not discontinued....

It is a durable vacuum. nice sturdy plastic and thick steel. I know it will last me a long time! I love it more every passing day! I am placing an order for 8 belts for the "industrial" hoovers tomorrow. Should last longer than the belts meant for the residential machines.

 

[vacuumfan96]

Hoover dealer portal?

Where do I find that? I have never heard of that! Could you post a link please!

 

[vackid]

You have to be a TTI dealer to access the dealer portal. I'm a TTI Dealer and Warranty Station so we have complete access to the entire TTI Line Up.
