I tried to order on line.  When I added to my shopping cart the price was $399 and $9 shipping.

I called Sears and gave the SSKU # to the lady rep. She liiked it up, put me on hold and came back to say that it must be a misprint.

I told her no thanks at $399.

HI Venson:

A visit to the SEARS Web Site now shows that the error, mistake, misprint whatever is corrected and the price is $399 with the companion compact canister.

Also shows a savings of $60 on the HOOVER Platinum light bagged with companion canister for the MEMORIAL SALE.  Sales price of $339.  Competing with ORECK which by the way is running its own sales for the MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND.

Also note the new SEARS canister that vaclov posted in the SEARS line up of vacuum products on the Web page.  They got that one right the first time.

Thanks for the heads up Hank.  What did you pay for the vacuum?  $14, $399, $339?  Or did you just post here as a public service announcement and didn't buy?

Wal-mart near me also seemed to have that issue... they put the Hoover Platinum Bagged upright on their shelf where  a Bissell floor model used to be.  The price in front of the floor model said 39 dollars for about a week... I complained to the manager that it was false advertising, but they still woudn't honor the price!    The sign now reads 399....  Only a matter of time before they start turning up on CL and the 'bay

I thought Sears had some damaged and/or returns they were dumping.  I thought the description was in error and not the price.  I assumed if it were a price misprint Sears would notify me as so. - They did, "no sale per their liability and restrictions agreement".

Thanks Hank.  Or is it DiB?  Either way.  Thanks.

BEST BUY stores are selling the HOOVER Platinum Collection Lightweight Bagged Upright with companion canister for $299.  This is a $100 discount from the MSRP.  I'm not overly impressed with the duo but both are decent overall performers for household usage.

I can't say exactly what you'll get for 14 bucks but Sears has been regularly sending me emails almost every week it seems. For those looking for economical buys, Sears is holding in-store-only "Super Saturday Sales" tomorrow, August 15th. New bargains will be announced every hour.

Check in with your local store to learn if this sale is in effect in your area.

As always, I have no affiliation whatsoever with Sears but highly recommend it as a source for, among other things, decent vacuums at decent prices AND not only from the Kenmore line. Any objections? Well, you can go straight to . . . Williams-Sonoma or Bloomingdales -- and give 'em all the money you want.
