They are on backorder from the Dealer Portal. I would not be to concerned though. TTI is moving it's commercial manufacturing to Cookeville and what we are seeing could very well be that transition. They would have to stop production to move lines and re establish those lines in America. | ||

Hopefully they bring back the Convertible, Concept, Elite, Floor-A-Matic or twin brush shampooer/polisher | ||

Hope they keep the Platinum Lightweight Bagged Upright and add it to the production line in the USA - it's a fantastic basic classic upright! They can dump the useless PortaPower that is now packaged with it. Just sell the upright on its own for a cheaper price...TTI, are you listening? You have a winner here that should be in every appliance/hardware/department store in North America!

I hear you Kurt, assembling them here would be a good thing for jobs, but if assembled with "globally sourced components", I won't hold my breath on the quality of the product. | ||

Hoover is just a name now to TTI.Get the VINTAGE Hoover models when you find them!!!The new TTI "Hoovers" are just dumpster feed!Sad they are leaving the commercial market.At least with those you could still get a REAL "Hoover" cleaner! | ||

TTI, etc. Closing that also now? TTI does own Oreck, and now also imported from China. Nothing is made to last anymore. Hardly even repairable. Good for the environment? Not. It still requires energy and raw material to recycle in to new. China needs the jobs though. They already have all the pollution. | ||

 I don't think Royal is going anywhere anytime soon. The Royal Commercial line of metal vacs with the orange bags, and with the 14" and 18" wide floor nozzles get CRI's Gold Seal of Approval. I own a Household Metal Royal Everlast 8300 made by TTI in China in 2008. This machine is nothing but Quality throughout. It still cleans perfectly and performs the same if not better than my Kirby Sentria. In my opinion, the build quality is the same as any of my Kirby's just not as fancy. The Royal does not have any of the bells and whistles as Kirby, but it is just one well built cleaning machine and at 10 amps, it is a real Beast! This just proves that TTI can produce a real quality product even though it was made in China! This post was last edited 02/15/2016 at 14:43 | ||

Strong point in case Sptyks, but I believe at the price they are selling them for they should be made here in the States. It would just give another good selling point to the product itself. | ||

Well that's sad to hear...
...although I'm not surprised. Did this news come from the company or a dealer (if those still exist)? I've been seeing alot of the new TTI and Tacony cordless uprights recently in commercial use. I can't say I've ever seen a commercial Guardsman in the wild however.
Bissell looks like they're keeping the genuine Sanitaires alive. They even have the blue "professional" line back with one of the 5amp models. You win some you lose some. | ||

Yea me too but probably for another reason since I seen bagged ones too. Its probably because its cheaper to get one of those 40 dollars powerforces then buying something that is commercially approved and go though them when they break since they're so cheap to buy. Tells you about our throw away society.
Also I haven't seen a commercial hoover in a good while. You'll usually find the typical Sanitaire, Windsor, and Oreck in the wild then hoovers. I did see a hushtone in a bookstore once but I haven't seen a guardsman, conquest, or even those junk hushtone bagless "empower" since like mid 2000s. I use to see them alot especially guardsmens but not anymore. To my knowledge atleast. | ||

HESCO is out of stock and webstaurantstore.com says no longer available. Southside Vacuums has it as "last items in stock" so if anyone wants to grab one of the last it looks like there's a few left.
The Last Convertible. CLICK HERE TO GO TO bagintheback's LINK | ||
