Hey guys, I found this Hoover Elite on Google images. Please tell me if you have seen this one or have one or have one like it.

I've worn out several of them. What would you like to know about the machine?

Not sure if this relates, but there was another version in red called the Encore. I know JcPenney had Encore as their bottom of the line Hoover in 1994 catalog. I seem to think there was another commercial model that had an orange grounded cord, but I could be wrong there.

Oh I really was just wondering like when it came out, if it was popular, where it was sold and stuff like that.

Well originally this was the Elite 200 starting around 1988. This one would have been a later model 200 or a replacment for the 200 probably 1992ish. The red encore came a little later. These were the bottom of the line cheapest Elite you could get with no bells and whistles, but still a good little Hoover. No zipper,headlight,tools,carpet settings, and only like 5 amp motor.

Just a correction to what Philip said in his post about the BOL Hoover Encore upright....It was 7 amps, NOT 5 amps. I know because I bought 1 of them new in 1996 along with a Hoover Hornet straight suction canister to clean a large townhouse I was sharing with a friend. When my friend broke it 1 1/2 years later by picking up something that shattered the fan, I just pitched it in the trash, as it only cost $115 including taxes. Probably would have cost as much to have it repaired.
