At our Sears store on the mall they have the Anniversary windtunnel, the self-Propelled anniversary Windtunnel, and the Anniversary Convertible. | ||

I've regained my common senses...
...after an incapacitating flush of Newhooveritus. Thanks Rob for helping make up my mind. The Hoover Anniversary is a ear splitter...that's the final nail on the coffin. Had I run it in the store I woulda known that.:-) I have considerable respect for quiet soothing vacuums and remember when the tangerine Oxygene series first appeared at Sears years ago. Yes, the Hoover color is real eye-catching and sets off the red logo so nicely. Did a bit of spinning around the web last night and yer right - Canadians are being gouged an extra $40, even on a 'Sale' price. And so all these vacuums will remain at Sears for someone else to snap up...and put out by the curb on Free Trash Day in Woodstock next April. :-) This pale metallic mauve Sears Kenmore (Eureka Contour) bagged or bagless cup model I got free from the trash is extraordinarily quiet. Came with the cup - which the previous owner had sucked up lit cigarettes that melted a hole through the cup - which I set aside in favour of the paper bag. It gets a lot of use around here (Stop laughing, Pete) and the static dusting wand is a delight.

You could grab one at the Sears in Port Huron. Canadian Tire often sells the regular WindTunnel, not a Centennial or anything for $99. It looks pretty much the same. You might find it elsewhere as well cheaper.. Sears tends to always cost more than elsewhere I find. | ||

Really, all I wanted was a nice vacuum in the pretty box and
or ugly store stock labels marring the box yet. And of course I have the FrankenHoover project underway based on the broken double brushroll V2 Windtunnel I got from you, Pete. Mwaaa-ha-ha!!! If I may quote from an email received just now: "I like the Hoover Anniversary Windtunnel. The color is beautiful BUT it's too loud. The dirtfinder has already stopped working. I got the Hoover Convertible Anniversay. If you check it out you will see that it comes with two bins. One for bagless use and the other for the hepa bag. The problem is that the tube the hepa bag fits on will not hold the bag on the tube. I have talked to Hoover, the Hoover service shop,Fred Stachnik and Tom Anderson. It is just an example of poor design. You can use the regular bag in the machines but not the hepa because it has a rubber membrane around the collar of the machine. Also check out the position and design of the rear wheels. They just beg to be snapped off. I wanted examples of the 100th Anniversary Hoovers but they are very sad examples of Hoover (although they are beautiful colors)." And so I'll take a pass on these, beautiful Blue as they are and I'm sure will be passing one curbside within a year's time. On the other hand, the Stainless Steel Constellation is selling for US$120 these days and I sure do like my $5 new white one. As Rob Mitchell attests in Thread Number: 4526 Surprising results from the Constellation. | ||

I'm trying to recollect but I think they were selling the anniversary Windtunnels in the Hoover Historical Center house weren't they? Anyone remember how much there were.. $199 rings a bell | ||
