Out of all the Hoovers of the past and present, which model do you think is the best? Which model (past or present) is the worst? | ||

The worst is the Hoover Z. Absolute abomination and monstrosity. Followed by the Windtunnel 2 design, which was horrible.
For best, you'll get hundreds of different answers. Was the 541 the 'best'? How about the 700 with the first agitator? Or the beautiful 150? Maybe the 60, with Hoover's first disposable bag they were legally allowed to use? Or the 725 with the illegal disposable bag (for which Air-Way sued them). The gorgeous 825 would probably be my answer, but there really were so many good models it's really a personal choice. | ||

My vote?
From the last 15 years- windtunnel ultra
Best of all? Upright- concept one, but the convertible was important to hoover as well Canister- The dimension 1000 is my vote- it doesn't filter well, but because it's power controls were ahead of it's time ( yes I know Kenmore had power controls earlier), and for it's excellent carpet cleaning ability, I feel that was their best canister. | ||

 The Concept 1 was definitely one of the best cleaning Hoovers produced, but using one on a daily basis can be tiring due to their weight. That being said, I would argue the later 5amp A-bag Convertibles were the best Hoovers. They were lightweight, finally incorporated a decent deposable bag, and possessed superb cleaning ability. Some may argue that the tool suction is inadequate, but just remember the old slogan: The Hoover Cleaner Makes Rugs Last Longer. The purpose of a Hoover is to clean and extend the life of carpeting.
I have to agree that the bagless Windtunnel II was the worst. The self-cleaning pre-motor filter was a horrible idea. At least with the Twin Chamber machines the filter is user accessible. If not for the Windtunnel II, the bagless Tempo would come next. | ||
