Why am I not surprised that a chinese-made product is a fire hazard and a shock hazard? :\ I think the best exports china has given the world are fireworks, chinese food and Bone-China crockery, everything else is just chinese junk... (no, not the ship!!!) | ||

First the upright and now the canister. Collect the whole set! I had a TTI T-series briefly. It cleaned quite well but it put out more heat than our furnace and felt like a ticking time bomb. | ||

It's a case of cheaping out, something the chinese manufacturers are good at, they make somehting, get it approved, then do whatever they can to make it cheaper, and then hey presto, the product is dangerous and ends up being recalled... | ||

Excuse me, but we happen to be a TTI distributor and warranty station...when someone comes in with a recall repair we definitely repair the machine, no questions asked. Many times, customers will mention their distaste for a machine that they bring in for repair and we offer to allow trade on a new vacuum.
A few more corrections to your post, as you obviously do not own a retail store or seem to have any sort of experience with a warranty or recall repair. Warranty repairs are done while the machine is under warranty- 1 year, 2 year, 3 year whatever the warranty is, the problem is fixed if covered under the warranty. Recall repairs are done regardless if the machine is still under warranty or not. Our business practices are not shoddy or shady- you can ask any number of our satisfied customers in the greater Columbia area of SC. 38 years in business is also a nice testimony to our business/customer service model. | ||

The early T-Series with cord winders were recalled. There was some fire hazard issue with the cord reel. We did a ton of those, but those have trailed off as of late. It was a quick fix- about 20 mins total to remove the many screws and pull the entire apart to replace a cord reel. Hoover/TTI was very generous with their recall labor, as they always have been.
