The SupraLite labeled as a Hoover was sold in Hoover-owned Service Centers only. We also private labeled a full sized 8000 series Riccar as a Hoover, but with a 240 volt motor to be sold in Europe and Australia. We made over 10,000 of them for export, so there should still be a good number of them being used.

Stretch hoses always retract when anything restricts the airflow, even slightly. The advantage of the optional tool kit with a Simplicity or a Riccar, is that it makes attachment use just as easy as with a canister vacuum. Real horsehair brushes on the floor tool, dusting brush, and upholstery tool. You can get it with a 9 or a 12 foot vinyl, wire reinforced hose that attaches directly to the back attachment port OR to the stretch hose (for automobile cleaning). No fighting the hose as you clean. The part number is DLATT, available at virtually any Tacony dealer. I feel the on-board attachments on any upright are for instantaneous, very short term use. Never for things like furniture cleaning, stair cleaning, etc. But to reach beside the sofa, or along an edge, sure - on-board tools are fine.
