The Fault Of The TTi Hoover Products

[fromadifferentplanet1996]

While it is true that Hoover is doing well under TTi's ownership, not all of their products are perfect due to warranty issues and all that.

MAKE HOOVER GREAT AGAIN my ass!

Unfortunately we live in a world now where companies have to cut cost, be competitive, and give what consumers want. I can't blame them when they had to discontinue the classics like the Guardsman and Conquest.

I recently bought a Hushtone upright, CH54113, and have been nothing but impressed by it. I am not much for upright vacuums. I generally prefer power nozzle canisters but the Hushtone does almost everything I need a vacuum to do and does it pretty well without making me bust a sweat. It's certainly a better vacuum than my Caddy ( Crappy ) Vac or my Breathe Easy U5252-900 ( I think that's the model ). Thick steel handle with chunky cord wraps that aren't going to break. Wooden brush roll like an old Windtunnel. Lifetime belt. 5.7 inch / 145 mm motor from Domel. Quality stuff.

Companies do not have to"cut" costs. They choose to for the highest margin for shareholders and top brass. They enjoy the lowest labor cost since the 1980's.

Well, if you want a truly great vacuum that is even better than a Sebo for a reasonable cost, you need crowdfunding, a factory, workers, design skills and some time.

Or just buy a Lindhaus upright ................

Honestly the Hoover Hushtone has 90% of the functionality of our Windsor Sensor S12 ( Sebo G1 with a three wire cord ) for half the price and the Hushtone has vastly better filtration than the Windsor / Sebo thing. Oh yes, the Hoover cleans hard floors and does a good job. No so with the Windsor / Sebo thing. Where the Hushtone comes up short are a lack of a wand extension and the attachments are not as nice as those from Sebo.
