Hello Venson:
The COSTCO here sold out of the WT SP Anniversary model in short order. It had 2 pallets when I last saw a few weeks ago. Went back this past week to pick up some movie tickets for my daughter. Gone. They'll be back. Not sure the price when they return.

Hi Carmine,
Just got back from Best Buy. I needed a new external drive but after that was taken care of I went to the vacuum department. The metallic blue self-propelled version of the WindTunnel upright is sold out there too. The price is $229.00. The Tempo is in stock and priced at $75.00.

Hi Venson:
Link worked. Doom and gloom ahead. President Obama may want to reconsider and ask for an official recount! He's a one termer. Will be done in by the economic sunami and Hillary Clinton. She is poised to walk away with the election in 2012. As the primary Secretary of State she will be more powerful than VP Biden, the alternate SOS.
Thanks for the info on BEST BUY and HOOVER WT SP and TEMPO. Those prices $229 and $75 respectively add pressure on the other retailers to price the models similarly. Peer pressure. With the favorable ratings from Consumer Reports on these models, selling at the MSRP is justifiable and smart business pricing.

FYI:
My dear Wife was at Kohl's today and strolled by the clearance aisle and spied a brand new HOOVER WT Powered Hand Tool new in the package. Original price $39.95. Clearance: $3.99 [before 30 percent off]. Such a deal! Only one, and she bought it! [My Valentine's Day present, she jested. A MIELE S7 is more to my liking, I parried! Don't even go there, she retorted. And I didn't!].

Hi Venson:
The local COSTCO has 2 HOOVER WT's now. The bagless for $159 and the bagged WT SP for $189. Not the Anniversary edition but the comparable one in silver with a 3 year warranty. Both are HOOVER TTI and both made in Mexico like the HOOVER Maytag WT's.

Hello Venson:
Happened to be cruising the TARGET on-line vacuum pages [thanks to DIB]. Ironically, 2 of the HOOVER WT vacuums are being added to the on-line and store venues within the next 2-6 weeks. One, the bagged WT SP Anniversary edition upright [$229] which is rated number ONE and a CR BEST BUY by Consumer Reports in March 2009. Second, the HOOVER WT Anniversary bagless upright [$159] rated number 8 and recommended by CR. Coincidental? Probably not. It's more like an intentional decision to add these 2 HOOVER models after the favorable March 2009 CR ranks and ratings.
