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

Hi Venson:

Always the vacuum idealist of yore, my hopes and desires are that the HOOVER TTI canns, at this price/higher [with some doo dads added] and 3 year warranty, will be for the indy stores and not the big box stores venues.  For budget conscious vacuum buyers, peeved by the low-high priced junk vacuums in all the big box stores, who are not quite ready to spring for $500 plus brands [the baby boomers], this would be a likely choice.

Questions based on MOLE's response about the HOOVER power nozzle [quadraflex]:  Is it a metal agitator?  Is this the same one that HOOVER uses on the Dimension CV?

No Carmine,the brush roll is very similar the W.T. upright ,not the same one we were use to, No more brushes to change,core is high impact plastic,but the agitator bearings are the same,[nylon shield] oh boy i can still use my bearing repacking gun,the one we got from HOOVER in the 60's,

Remember the deluxe powerhead with the elbow that swiveled, I dont know how they got away with calling this the quiet series machines.

The Hoover Cans are on back order....Insiders say it's really a problem that they are trying to address. Better now before they hit the market I guess.

The S3670 has been on the website for about 3wks now.  There is nothing new about this machine.  This HOOVER does use a HOOVER power nozzle that is not available on the original.  The original is a European Dirt Devil(owned by TTI).  The S3670 will use the clothlike HEPA bags.  It will not be as good as the Riccar/Simplicity, but is an improvement over the HOOVER Windtunnel canisters of the past.



Give the model some time, it will be avail. in more places.  It just came out.

Hey I just got one at my Hoover Service Center $299.99... and I got plenty of Free HEPA BAGS... I FRIGGIN LOVE THIS VAC.. I hope this is a sign of  better things to come.. One of the service guys mentioned something about a new Hoover Diamond Line comming out in 2009.. Anyway Cleaning my socks off.. just wanted to see if anyone else on the internet had a review of this vac.. BUY IT... LOVE IT!!

Good afternoon Carmine.

No doubt you hear a lot of buzzing while getting buzzed.

Nice to have a HOOVER fan on here.  Can you tell me where the new HOOVER canister is made?  I tried to download the users manual to see, but it didn't work. 

Is the new HOOVER Diamond Line in 2009 for a particular retailer? 

Thanks.

Hi Carmine,

Sorry to hear the address didn't work.  Did you try highlighting the address onscreen by dragging you cursor across it as you hold down the left mouse button and then copying and pasting it into the URL window of your browser?  In any event, you can go directly to www.hoover.com and find the S3670 at the website.  Once you click on S3670's feature page you'll find a link to the user guide PDF there.

Best,

Hi Venson:

I did it both ways and struck out.  I've been having cable/computer problems today, so that could be it!  Thanks for asking!
