 I'll list this soon in Supermarket, I think. There is a red one, no hose, BUT... thinking of my fellow collectors... are you ready??? I got 'someone who'll like it" a gray/silver hammertone tristar WITh hose and powernozzle. See.. I thought of others W/O it being a HOOVER. I surely don't want it, but I thought someone in here would. Pics soon. John | ||

When I saw it, I knew I had to save it.
My aunt said to me, "I hope you're not going to keep that". My response was,"Does it say Hoover? No, but someone in the group WILL want this thing". Last year, I passed up the green one. I learned. I doubt this saw much action. It's virtually spotless.
Someone has already expressed an interest. I'll post pics when I can. It's currently in my aunt's trunk. I'll "transfer the body" later tonight. John | ||

"I'll "transfer the body" later tonight." You sound like you have done this before...
Just make sure it stays within a safe distance of the Hoovers, wouldn't want any cross-contamination.
Do you ever get curious about other brands machines? Even HOOVER themselves probably took interest in other "inferior" vacuums, if only to compare and make theirs better. | ||

Not to worry.
Curious about o thers?I've used other cleaners....friends' houses,workplaces,etc.But,was I ever curious about owning others?Not at all.I know some roll their eyes...Ireally don'tcare.People have tried to f orce,suggest,even shame me into it.No thanks.I'm happy exactly where I am. If others have a problem w/ME using only Hoovers...well,it's really their problem,to deal with or not.I have no problem at all.Lucky guy. Also, HOOVER Did compare, etc other brands...and had copies in the vault. I saw the shelves where they were stored. They had a copy of EVERYTHING. | ||

I feel the same, and to be honest if I had a bigger collection of Hoovers I would probably get rid of my "other" machines. The only reason I keep them all is because I only have five Hoover models and the others keep a bit of variety too. If I had 20+ Hoovers I'd have little/no interest in other brands - my true passion lies with only one brand.
In my opinion, and this may be a little biased, but I think it says a lot about a person to be strongly loyal to a manufacturer and is certainly not something that should be used against them. | ||

Um.. like Hoover copying Miele with the layout of having tools on top under a flap, to the general bag design in some of their cylinder vacs from the 1980s? Hoover of course weren't alone in copying. | ||
