They are both the same thing. LiNX is referencing the Lithium Ion battery in the machine, but both are model BH50010 units which originally began as the platinum stick vac.
I like the machine, they have great suction, a respectable power nozzle and are at a perfect price point (we sell them in our store for $119.99). I have had two warranty repairs on them, both of them Hoover replaced the main body/motor/dust cup of the machine when the machines would not run for a long period of time under a full battery charge. Sadly, one of those warranty repair machines was my mother's. She wasn't too thrilled. |

I'm completely astonished at your Kohl's price for the T series bagless. If my eyes don't deceive me, I'm seeing that the 7th vacuum from the right is $179.99. I thought we had them priced high at my store at $99- and that comes with a free 2 year service plan. Guess I need to print out a new price tag for $139.99. Our Hoover Self Propelled bagged is also only $199.99. Guess that goes to show that the big box stores aren't always the cheapest.
I've seen one of those funky Bissell flex tube crazy vacs...a lady brought it in so we could assemble it. After she didn't want to pay our $30 assembly fee (for vacuums not bought from us), she decided to trade it in on a Hoover Signature lightweight. It sat forever before someone decided to finally rid us of that filth. |

Hi there Bobby,
Electrolux USA has revamped their website (see link below). The Elux unit you saw is now listed there. Sadly, no more Oxygen vacs being sold - not sure why since they were easier to handle than the Oxygen 3 or the new UltraSilencer Power Nozzle vacs. CLICK HERE TO GO TO eurekaprince's LINK |

I almost forgot to mention the Kohl's discount. At the front (at least here) they offer scratch off cards, so you can get an additional 15, 20 or 30% off of the purchase. If you use your Kohls card you get another 15% off. I'm assuming their slightly higher prices are then deducted at the register.
Its the same as the $xx trade in offered on a new machine at a vac store. Do they really think that we will be using that Bissell Clearview we gave them $75 for on a trade-in? |

Karl - I don't know about the other vacs, but the Hoover Self Propelled Bagged Windtunnel on display there in the pic from Kohl's is an excellent machine - though somewhat noisy and heavy. For $225, it's the best "suck for the buck" on the market now. To think that when they first came out, Sears was selling them for double that price!

They are fairly quick and easy to service. There are some slight differences between different stores' model specs. Sears models and Wal Mart models usually have wooden brush rolls- Target and Kohls usually have nicer brush rolls, it all depends on the requested wholesale price from the store.
Service wise- they are as easy as they have always been. Nothing really new to service. I think it takes about 30-45 mins of high school labor to have one looking like new. |

Over the years, I've noticed that what we used to call "Department Stores" (Macy's, Kohl's, etc.), rarely have respectable deals for vacuum cleaners. Unless you have a discount card given to you, or they have a "Floor Care" sale (which brings the price down to what everybody else is charging as a regular price anyway), this type of store is not going to get you a break. I would rather give the money to a private shop or store and keep them in business.
