I have this model, the Purepower PU2120, got it in 2010 for £99.95, then it was dropped of the Hoover website last year and it is now back again but it looks black but they say it is blue! Mine is certainly blue anyway.
So it is £79.99 on there website now which I have given a link too.

But this offeres the same features as the one that is £79.99 but you pay 20 quid extra I don't get it.

There is a blue and white one apparently, model PU2110, no picture though, I imagine it will look quite nice, but I still think they should terminate production and develop a few new bagged cleaners instead of leaving the Purepower to struggle on alone!

Hoover will without doubt be making cleaners which sell within the gap in the market in which they sit. As I have said before, they will only be making as much as they will be able to sell; whether we like it or not, there seems to be a very small demand for bagged cleaners.

I suspect that the PurePower cleaners were recently made in differing colours for differing retails outlets, and that Hoover now wish to sell off the blue models. Or it could be that the silver & red cleaner is the newer colour of the two. There could be so many reasons for it.

VR is spot on with different versions

HOOVER and Vax are two common brands that are forever releasing different coloured vacuums for different suppliers and the price changes accordingly. Currently there's a red PU2111 on Amazon UK listed at £69-99 reduced from £89-99 with the 2100 watt motor. BHS are selling a dark navy blue Purepower reduced from £100 to £50 (item 9515231483)

However, Amazon UK have also listed a Purepower with a microfibre cleaning glove at a cost of £212! (see link below) which could be either fact or fiction.

Bagged vacuums aren't on their way out though - Hoover wouldn't have got the Pure Power (separated by a gap, there in the name) cylinder bagged vacuums, Capture and TeliosPlus models in if they thought they'd make a loss on those trio of cylinder vacs and the marketing dept must be pretty annoyed to find that the upright bagged market is already being sewn up by the likes of Miele, SEBO, Electrolux, Panasonic and then the supermarket brands. Hoover Europe would be mad not to develop a new bagged upright - but if the money is not there, they'll just keep papping and churning off Purepower uprights.

IF Hoover ever get around to developing a new bagged upright vacuum, I'd of course love to try it but if its just another colour variant of the Purepower, I'll pass.

Other brands are also dropping prices, or rather one should say it is the suppliers who are buying in those models at a fixed pricing structure before changing it accordingly to appeal to buyers. It could either be poor sales by the current price or a change in the current range's design by new features, cosmetic differences or a free offer such as Hoover's current supply of a year's supply of dust bags for some Purepower buyers at different franchises.

Wow wtf?

£230 for a £60 purepower and a £2 asda micro noodle washmitt? That's value right there!

For £230 I'd expect it to be made of gold.

Of course, the cheapest way of getting an upright vacuum in by Hoover with a bag is simply to make a casing and door for any one of their Hurricane/Smart/bagless versions. Brands have been doing that for years, especially Hoover with the Dustmanager range.

LOL the microfibre cloth is worth more than the hoover :P
