I did not watch but I'm sure it was a great demo…  when she leans over and shows some cleavage.  Outside of that, she’s worthless (lies like no tomorrow, typically).

Too bad you missed it Dib-stir.  Quite good.  HOOVER T1 series is now rated the number 1 bagless upright in HSN buyers' surveys, even beating out your more expensive favorite brand.

I liked the demo (at moments).  IMO, the best way to watch her demos is with muted sound.

I liked when she lifted the T1 by its handle above her head and held it there saying try to do that with the other bagless upright that costs 5 times more the price! Dib-stir your high priced bagless brand is a has been on HSN that never was.  Lost out in short order to China red's TTI at 20 percent of the sales price.  Keep in mind too this HOOVER model [brand new] TIED your famous dyson's DC28 TOL with a price of $600 in the Consumer Reports ratings and rankings in March 2010.  $129 for T1 vice $600 for DC28.  Dah?  And the HOOVER has windtunnel technology and the T1 beats out DC28 in handling.  Why?  As the young lady's over the head lift clearly indicates, it's 18 pounds with a cordwinder.  Try doing that with a 22 pound DC28.  Maybe maybe she did and that's how she developed her superior upper body physique!

Dyson is still *MUCH* better due to being made *MUCH* more durably; I can stand and jump on my neighbors DC07 that's lasted for like 3-4 years w/o ANY problems. Dysons have MUCH better suction and airflow, as well MUCH better filtration. Carmine go watch the sequel to this video when she's carrying it over her head to the trash in about a year. Decent machine for the money, but poor build quality and overall performance next to a Dyson.

Yet with all the supposed/imagined inferior construction you claim, these HSN featured HOOVER vacuums come with the same warranty as the most expensively priced dysons. Not hard to figure out why these are featured so often and sold on HSN more frequently than your fave brand.

According to HSN today, HOOVER WT bagless T-series for $119 is HSN's NUMBER ONE rated vacuum by HSN consumers and HSN's most popular selling vacuum of all time.  Sold over 400 in first 10 minutes of air time.  It's an HSN exclusive HOOVER model tho the same model in other colors with auto cord rewind too is in the retail market place for $130.  HSN logs 247 customer reviews of this vacuum on its web site. 

The other HOOVER product that sold out is the latest Floormate Spin-srub for $140 with the attachments.

After HSN sold out of the FM Spin Scrub and WT T series with still 30 minutes left of Home Solutions, it deferred to another HOOVER: The Platinum Stick WT vacuum.  $150.  It logs over 150 reviews on HSN with a 4.6 rating out of 5.  Has a 15 minute run time on a 3 hour charge.  HSN used 2 to cover the 30 minute segment.  Both used with the brush on lasting at least 15 minutes each.  Neither lost its charge.  And Julie the HOOVER rep and her HSN peer kept cleaning up and redumping the same dirt on the rugs and floors and vacuuming up.  In fact, HSN sold out of the Platinum WT Stick with time still left and keep demoing with the HOOVER making the cleanup jobs look like a piece of cake.  The original price of this was $230 so $150 is the lowest selling price by HSN and most other retailers fotr this with a 6 year warranty.

If I had some free time I'd match up/off the HOOVER Platinum Stick against the bagless maker which claims it has the most powerful stick and see if the latter makes the grade.  Better yet maybe Consumer Reports will pick up the test and pit the 2 to the challenge and see which is really the most powerful stick.  Anybody taking bets?

Surely you jest.  A bagless is NUMBER ONE.  Those niche vacs were doomed years ago (as was Dyson).  What is this world comimg to?

HARDSELL wrote:

The interesting sales issue I noted is the HSN rep, not Julie the HOOVER rep, said the leading bagless maker sells this same cyclonic bagless product for $400 and $500 and HOOVER offers the same, even better beause it's much lighter, as she raises it up over her head, for $120. 

Don't call me Surely.

The interesting issue I noted is your previous gloom and doom for both bagless amd Dyson hve been sooo incorrect.   

HARDSELL wrote:

Funny I was thinking the same about you're posts about my predictions here.  Sooo incorrect.

I said to you HOOVER would bounce dyson on its rear.  With better bagless products for better prices.  Starting with the HOOVER Fusion in 2005 at Wal*Mart for $110.  Now with the HOOVER T series WT on HSN for $120.  Not just HOOVER.  BISSELL, LG, and a host of other brands have made dyson a bagless dinosaur in less than 10 years in the USA.  Dyson is strictly a niche vacuum seller.   Not mainstream.  Nothing wrong with that.  Niche bagless is okay as long as dyson has venues for sales.

If Hoover is anything like Vax under TTI ownership, sales in the UK have rocketed past Dyson to become the best selling brand, so far.

No doubt the reason in large part Warren Buffet, the self-made multi-billionaire stock investor, acquired a 10 percent financial stake in TTI after TTI bought HOOVER away from Whirlpool.
