Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Hi,

Stopped at the Hoover Company website to look for the new upright MH mentioned.  Didn't find it but I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Hoover's made a serious attempt at a canister vacuum.  So serious in fact it seems to have borrowed a few things already done by Miele but what's wrong with that?  Nice thing is that the price on the website is only $299 and the machine comes with a three-year warranty.  It uses the Wind Tunnel power nozzle (Mole will probably know this nozzle's  repair record and efficiency). It might be the answer for some of the folks looking for a canister under the $400 mark.

I've included the following link to allow interested parties to browse the cleaner's user guide -- http://www.hoover.com/pdfs/manuals/S3670.pdf

Well... We just got our shipment of the new Hoover S3670's and briefly...

I'm fairly impressed

It's a lot bigger than I thought and I see more resemblance to Simplicity than Miele.
The wand is VERY much like the Simplicity as are the tools. It also has the same feel moving it around.

The plastic is MUCH better than the previous can (but still not top of the line).

I think Hoover UNDER PRICED it. I know the discounters will ruin it but I think it's a $400 plus can. So at the $325-$350 it's a winner. (Longevity and quality issues may change that)

One thing I didn't like was the neck of the PH which seemed cheaply made and I think might become the Achilles Heel. (Just My Opinion) and there is no release peddle.

The PH has that aggressive Hoover kick to it and when I plugged it in it was accidently turned on and scooted across the floor.

It has a lightweight Hepa Filter and I don't know if it is sold as a sealed system

Fit & Finnish give the impression (at least) of quality product both visually and tactile.

Thanks for the news Lucky1.

Hi Lucky1:

Please post a review of the new HOOVER cann on the Reviews section here.  Nice to see an indy impressed by the new HOOVER-TTI cann.  Speaks well of the new direction that HOOVER is taking so soon after the Spring 2007 takeover by TTI.  Already 2 vacuum products have emerged that are noteworthy.  With information by several posters here of more of the same to come soon.  

Keep us posted on the sales and the customers reactions, please.

Hey all,

Does anyone have news on how the Hoover S3670 is faring on the market as of late?  Prices for it have been coming down nicely.
