Here's an article covering the same topic with not-so vintage spokesmodel/Director of Brand Marketing Allyson Horst. The blurb is all the more interesting for what it fails to mention.

But wait! There's more...
"Like a carwash for your carpets' By the time Allyson was finished stumbling through her presentation I was ready to go out and buy one. Seriously. Dave CLICK HERE TO GO TO aeoliandave's LINK |

It would appear that TTI handed a few key people the pink slip in October 2010.
On this resume, reference Allyson is listed as FORMER Director of Brand Marketing • TTI Floor Care/Hoover CLICK HERE TO GO TO aeoliandave's LINK |

The thing is, is that they were using great vacuums, needless to say pieces of history, to promote a new piece of crap. |

Yeah, but if these T series pieces of crap were around back in the '20's, the 700 would sweep the t-series under the rug. |

It's a shame we can't discuss anything rationally without using those kinds of expressions. And actually, I don't agree about the Hoover 700 comparison, either. |

I wouldn't count on the T-Series bagless lasting a day in the hands of the average careless rough consumer. I probably wouldn't even recommend the bagged version I have to most of my relatives. |

The T series is our "entry level" machine. We sell it for $99-$139 and as I have said before, it is on the floor to simply satisfy that price point so we do not lose a customer. The machines are a joy to work on, they are very easy to repair and most do not have the brush roll problem that the similar Dirt Devils have. The ONLY warranty repair we have seen is the recall on the cord reel.

Here is a pic from our trip today of the Holy Land of Vacuums with their Holiday tree in display. I purposely took this to avoid the for rent / sale sign that was just a few feet away. Chris |

One more pic from our field trip that I couldn't resist posting, in the same discussion as the t-series. |
