I have been considering buying the new Hoover Platinum Bagged Upright vac for my mom. It seems like a great performer that would be easier for her to use because it's lightweight and easy to manoeuver.
But, like so many vacs on the market today, TTI has really "dumbed down" the set of attachments you get with the companion mini canister. I was in Sears on Friday looking at the pair of vacs, and did a test to see if I could buy better attachments to use with the little canister. To my shock, the diameter of the hose end was really tiny and did not match the normal diameter of standard vac hoses, wands and tools. I tried to put a Miele upholstery nozzle onto the end of the Hoover hose, and it was way too big! My question for you all - do you know if TTI offers an adapter for this little Platinum "over-the-shoulder-hand-bag" canister so that it could take other attachments? | ||

re miele i think that they use a larger diameter on their wands, and tools than the standard 1 1/4 | ||

I almost forgot my original question before I went rambling. How bout the lightweight platinum? Also curious about the canister, thanks | ||

Chris - the new lightweight Hoover bagged Platinum is an excellent upright vac - better than the similar bagged "motor first" Orecks and Riccars. Consumer Reports really liked it: their recent test gave it an "excellent" for carpet cleaning, "good" for noise level, "very good" for emissions control, "very good" for handling (it weighs only 13 pounds) and excellent for pet hair removal. It only costs USD300 too!
Trying it out at Sears, I found it to be really comfortable to use and very lightweight to carry. It's just too bad that the companion canister has a horrible set of tools....the bare floor brush seems to be the only valuable attachment provided...... :-( But if you set aside the canister for only bare floor use and maybe cleaning the car, the upright itself may be worth the $300!

^with a regular crushproof hose, as the stretch hose was pretty much pointless, and fingertip controls | ||
