Roger, I agree - the original Purepowers were pretty good cleaners. Just a shame about the handle-lock mechanism always failing! Other than that, they weren't bad.
I was hoping the new Airvolution range would put a bullet in the Purepower/Dustmanager, as it limps on into it's twelth year, but apparently they're still selling very well, and are profitable enough for Hoover to keep them going.
I'd love to see the longer version of the Purepower ad; it's the first Hoover ad I remember seeing on TV as a child!
