I was on their website and noticed they only have ONE bagged upright (the windtunnel anniversary or something like that - all of the rest of their vacuums are bagless? UGH, WHY??? In their entire lineup they have TWO bagged vacuums, a canister and an upright. Yet, on Amazon, I see the T series, which looks cool to me (at least the bag changing) I like how it locks into place...I'm assuming they must have discontinued these since they are no longer on their site. I didn't see the Tempo either (I think that's bagged). I can't get over how they have so many different models of bagless vacuums, and hardly any bagged ones. My Shark is 3 years old now ....It's been a good vacuum for me but there is no way I'm EVER getting another bagless.

Amen Scott,
I was at Walmart last night and looked at the vacuums and I saw from a distance some new Sharks. As I got closer I saw they were Hoover. Ok not original at all. The looked like a very cheapened version of the Shark. I think I will called them the Shart. hahaha and here folks we have the Hoover Shart... In all honesty you know they will sell because the Shark is currently the hot item everyone wants. |

The machines that are already made and out on sales floors are not going to matter. Research. development, marketing, etc. are the targets. Boycotting can help move mountains,, if done right.... at the right time and place.
We could all boycott a lot of things.......................... Pencils ready? |

I just picked up a UH30600 and its an excellent machine for $100. Tons of airflow, reasonable amount of suction and it is just a fun vacuum to use. Nice to have the beater disengage on a model at this price point. |

Everyone always copies the market leader. Shark got popular by comparing themselves to Dyson - for a lower price. Dyson got popular by being the 'far, far better Fantom", which was true. Fantom got popular because of their uniqueness (to the USA - Europe already had Dyson) and their infomercial. Everyone always copies each other. What will be the new 'flavor of the month' tomorrow? It's nothing new. GE copied Air-Way's swivel top, and then Eureka said "me too". Hoover copied Air-Way's disposable bag, then everyone else said "me too". Everyone copied Hoover's motor driven brush.......
I personally speak to many thousands of members of the public every year about vacuum cleaners. Every visitor to the Vacuum Museum is asked what kind of sweeper they have. Most don't know. But virtually all either have, or want, bagless. People 'vote' with their dollars. A few vacuum collectors boycotting a manufacturer because they don't offer bagged machines won't affect the manufacturers in the slightest. Personally, I've been boycotting Chick-Fil-A for years, but it hasn't had any affect. Maybe someday, somebody's gonna make me wanna gobble up a waffle-fry. |

Each year it seems like bagged machines get lesser and lesser, while bagless increase. It blows my mind because there's so much more maintenance with a bagless. Yes, putting the bin over the trash and pushing a button really looks like low maintenance...but there's so much more than that, and once people own one, they realize this. And many of the few bagged ones filter better because of the cloth HEPA bags.
Before the internet, it would be such a pain trying to find bags for your model. You physically had to go out searching for it. Sometimes they had it, sometimes they didn't. Now, that's such a non-issue. I would think the manufacturers would take note based on their reviews on their own site. I read a lot of reviews on their bagged machines and I read so many times they went back to bagged because dealing with a bagless was a pain. I just got through taking my shark apart - I washed the bin, the foam, the felt, the hepa....and cleaned the brushroll. I know all vacuums need maintenance... but of the bagged and bagless machines that I've had, the bagless needs more maintenance than bagged. |

Agreed. I did a deep clean of my Dyson and realized I was never going to do that again and went out and bought a bagged system. |

Some of Hoover’s nicest bagged uprights have been moved over to the Royal Division of TTI...there’s a Hoover Tempo and a few other great WindTunnel models in the Royal line-up now. And I think Hoover commercial division also has some more familiar Hoover bagged vacuums....including a little PortaPower.

I know, it's bullcrap. That's why Sanitaire, Royal, Oreck, Aerus, and Tacony are being the way to go. |
