the simplicity has 4 rows of very stiff bristles on a metal roller..so do u think the metal beater bars on the convertible might be the trick? |

The agitator in the Hoover will always out clean anything on the market today.Hoover's "triple action" cleaning principle is simple, yet very efficient. The Convertibles were designed to clean carpets...that's it. No on board tools, hoses, or other nonsense. If you are wanting to keep your rugs clean, stick with the Hoover. I am willing to bet you will have it for the rest of your life, and it will keep beating, sweeping, and cleaning just as it did when it was new!

IMHO, Only the Sanitaire/Eureka F&G uprights, Hoover Convertible/Decade/Elite/Legacy/Concept/Innovation uprights, Royal All Metal uprights, Kirby uprights offer excellent agitation, excellent airflow, excellent suction. |

The metal bars on my old Senior is the one reason (and of course the style) to why I kept it for so long before donating it to a local school for the staff rooms who now use it constantly whenever the carpets get really dirty. The bars are second to none. Its another reason to why I keep my classic Junior models.

I've been told that the vacuum cleaner to go last will always win. Granted I believe this is within reason of a decent vac.
I've seen it on many vac sites, youtube videos, etc. that when using a good vacuum cleaner the one to go last will win. It will find something. What I would try next time is to run the Hoover first and then the Simplicity and see what you get up. Try to remember the previous test and see if you think the Hoover found more after following the Simplicity or if the Simplicity found more after following the Hoover. I think that Eureka VGII & VG III equipped vacuums, many Riccar, Simplicity, Hoover Convertible/ Decade, Hoover Quadraflex agitators, Kirby and Royal Everlast series are the best deep cleaning vacuums on the market. A few others are excellent as well: Rainbow, Wessell EBK360, Miele SEB236, SEB228, Hoover Elite/ PowerMax style. From advise I've seen and heard if you took two vacuums with different designed agitators and ran them one following the other, the last one to go would still find some. Granted whether its from design of a different agitator, different CFMs or whatever . |
