An American Made TTI Hoover?

This listing on eBay shows a TTI made Hoover Elite. On the 5th picture shows the model sticker; looks just like any other newer Hoover. But look in the lower right corner, it says Made in USA! How is this possible? TTI shut down the North Canton plant, so where could this have been made?

Very interesting. Just another reason for me to buy another Elite...........

It's entirely built in China, then shipped over and then a couple of screws added and the label that says "Made in USA" is stuck on... :P

Just like how the new "MG" is made in Britain by being built in India by Tata, then shipped over and MG badges being glued on... :P

At least that Elite has a Serial# unlike most new Hoovers!

btw, I'll take that Elite anyday over any current dept store plasti-vacs.

Is that Elite built in Glenwood, OH? :P
