Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

The 'Freedom' and 'Slalom' uprights, and the 'Xarion' cylinder cleaner. All employ 'Airvolution' technology.

You'll have to wander about the Argos site yourselves, as I can't be bothered battling with the silly formatting of pictures on this forum, and the website linking didn't work either.

Carmine,

Hoover as you knew it and as history books recorded it is DEAD.  It is now red...  communist red or at least red sponsored.

Do tell...
Please point out the [many] problem solving patentable innovation/s Red Hoover has turned out (invented in-house).

Hello Dusty:

Thank you.  I stand corrected.  Whirlpool bought MAYTAG for $2.1 BILLION and assumption of all liabilities for pension and healthcare costs for the employees [which included more than the HOOVER brand].    So................I restate:  Whirlpool "sold out" to the TTI Group which "bought up" HOOVER.  My sincerest apologies to all who were offended by my use of HOOVER rather than MAYTAG and MAYTAG rather than Whirlpool.

Hello DIB:

If you are talking about "Boss" HOOVER and his family members, they are deceased.  Corporations don't die.  People die.  I suspect that is the prime reason the HOOVER family sold to MAYTAG.  So the HOOVER brand and its products, as a publicly owned corporation, would have perpetual life.  As it does under the umbrella of TTI Floorcare, Glenwillow, OHIO, USA, which is celebrating HOOVER's Centennial.  

To answer your second post, read the FACT SHEET on HOOVER Innovations which is posted by TTIpowerT.  It does a much better job than I can do, since my memory is very fuzzy going back 100 years.
