commercial on the Academy awards last night. I think that is the first time in years I've seen a Hoover commercial. Rick |

Rob Yes, I did notice that the pricing is right, as well as the features that they offer for the price range. Like I stated in another threat, maybe it was earlier in this one. Is that tti, Hoovers are going to be a very good value next to the compition. Norm |

John, You are right, at least the Oreck attachments are real attachments..horse hair, an actual upholstery tool, and the bare floor tool is nicer on the Oreck. If I were to buy one of the Hoover sets, I would replace the tools with after market and that way it may be a good little machine. Personally, I have never liked any of the Hoover attachments (old or new), I have always liked the Eureka tools and Royal (older versions). Morgan |

Karl, I would agree, I still think the Oreck XL-21 is a great vacuum. We must remember, just because the Hoover has 5.5 amps...it may or may not clean any better. In this economy, Oreck will be using the "Going Green" theme in it's marketing. Less energy, better enviroment. Hopefully, soon I will get a chance to try out the new Hoover. I have seen it at Wal-Mart and must say, it does look like a well built machine. Looking at the brush roll in these pictures makes me wonder though...there seems to be a lot of space between each tuft...and I am betting they are rather stiff... so wondering if it may be a bit to aggressive. Perhaps once I get to try one out, I will know the answers to these questions. The color scheme is nice! The portable would do more for me if the tools were a far better quality! Morgan |

Does it actually create a suction to the carpet or does the nozzle shoe just ride over the carpet on those two little front wheels? Bill |
