Unusual Hoover

[adamthemieleman]

Hi all, just seen this at work, a Hoover Velocity. Quadruple A rated. Rather new features for a Hoover, first time I've ever seen brushbar control. Looks rather Vax esque, there must be a link somewhere. Anyone know anything about it?

Interesting. It looks like a Vax Mach Air / TTI product to me. Similar power & brush roll controls as well. But to be fair Hoover have had brush roll controls before on the Slalom, Globe and Freedom but were body pedals.

Reminds me of our Hoover Windtunnel Air series?

Yep,

I agree with David, I used to have a Windtunnel Air myself - this style has been around for a number of years, they just tweak it. That said, it is a nice modern vacuum - I quite liked ours the years we had it (gave it to my brother). No complaints.

Ditto! Mine was fine the few years I had it, loaned it a few times, they both bought one after. Finally gave it to an engineer friend who moved to a small apt. his Dyson canister was just too big a foot print

Another new one that joins Hoover Europe; the Reactiv upright.

The Hoover Velocity also gets a new Best Buy from Which

Looks like it did well on which's tests but you usually has to take it with a pinch of salt. Is there any other new best buys

 

[sebo_fan]

There are a few and have been tested for June 2016. Previous best buys are from February 2016.
