That looks interesting. What's your take on that cleaner, Jack? I assume it's an air-powered turbine-head? It is me, or does the price seems awfully low...? |

Joe, I wouldn't recommend you play with anything more challenging than a stick. Run along now, the grown-ups are talking. |

Because that's what the forum does. They're all such "experts", they don't even need to give something a try before passing judgement! |

Yes Jack, there are so many self proclaimed experts on here- and they are the FIRST to tell you they are an expert. Its a decent canister at a price point of $149- what in the world would you expect it to be made out of? I think we should require a basic business and common sense course to qualify them as "experts." Here is a neat point- if this product came out in 1952, the price would have been $18.29 |

Thanks for keeping your sense of humour and the intelligent rejoinders, Christopher. And Jack.
Why these tweenboys insist on pissing on our cornflakes I cannot fathom. (if any of these whining agitators were born before 1990 then it is a sad case of arrested development and all hope is lost for their future success at meaningful social interaction). They are an embarrassment to their peer group and a disheartening example to their elders. Word of advice: When it becomes evident that one has dug oneself into a deep hole the first thing to do is stop digging. A simple sincere apology will get you a helping hand out. Get snarky and defensive with the foul language and we'll throw dirt on ya. |

It annoys me to no end stores like that, Walmart, Meijer, Cdn Tire too, vacs all tied up on a shelf so you can't do anything but look. I'd never buy a vac without at least being able to plug it in and see how it runs. |

TTI is simply capitalizing on our throw-away society. In fact, I can tell you with "expert" knowledge that when Wal Mart orders a number of vacuums from TTI, they bring the price point to their expectation.
For example: Wal Mart intends to have a vacuum cleaner at the $99 price point Wal Mart contacts TTI and asks how much it would cost to build a vacuum they can purchase for say, $67 and sell at the $99 price point. TTI knows that it costs maybe $74 to build the entry level T Series TTI then adjusts the vacuum to come to Wal Mart's wholesale cost. This could be removing a small metal part, using less screws, one less attachment, cheaper belt, etc. The numbers in this post are entirely theoretical, I know how much I pay for an entry level T Series and the other TTI dealers on here also know, it would be unfair to reveal the actual costs. |

Hoover, Royal and Dirt Devil (probably brands I missed there too) are all owned by TTI, a chinese company... (I'll let someone else elaborate on what that means) That's the latest thing that's happened, that was 2007 I believe. |

TTI also owns Vax in Europe which is the name put on some of the American Hoovers being sold in Great Britain.
It may soon be hard to tell the "chicken" or "egg" with TTI vacs...which one came first!!!! Just like Sweden's Electrolux does, TTI mixes and matches names and models across the world now. The bagged Hoover WindTunnel canister we see in North America uses a canister unit sold as a Dirt Devil in Germany. The Hoover Platinum stick vac is a Vax in England. We are seeing Royal Procision vacs now sold as Dirt Devils in North America. So TTI vacs can be made of many different Hoover / Dirt Devil / Royal / Vax components now and labelled differently depending on the country they are being sold in. |
