There were 2 models that were brought back for a short amount of time. Both had a turbo tool. One was white with gray tools and the other was silver with black tools.

Bit of a odd looking machine to say the least IMHO. |

My collection of Hoovers are the Z400 and z700 and an Air stick vac.
I pull out the 400 occasionally because the lower heavy body stability enables the use of the amazingly long and stretchy hose... really a lost feature on most vacs, and perfect for dusting blinds and furniture without moving the cansiter. The 700 remains boxed and never opened. I hope to sell it in a decade or two as a collectors piece, otherwise, of course, it's water lift and airflow are abysmal due to the dustbins mesh screen that lowers suction dramatically, but it's likely to be the only convertible vac (like or dislike irrelevant) and is truly a creative departure from most configurations and is, imho, valuable and interesting just for that aspect alone. Finally I have a "Hoover air" stick vac, that I use often for quick pick ups. Nothing special at all on that one except the motorized power hand nozzle. My question is, I saw ibaisaic's review of the Air Revolve (reboot of GE Roll Easy), and it tested loud and has really poor filtration, but is completely unique compared to other current releases of any brand. I'm interested in performance, but in this case it could just be a major conversation piece, opened on display, but unused to keep it pristine as an art piece, so to speak, like the Z... I can get one new for under $150.00 US. Pros and cons? Does anyone else just buy interesting vacs to keep unused but on display as examples of an errant engineer's creativity?

I found the Air Revolve this afternoon while internet browsing, from the online store with the attached link provided here, for $99.00US each with a bonus discount of $15.00 off one unit or $20.00 off each if buying two. So, I bought two at final price before tax of $79.00 each! I couldn't believe my luck. New in box. I can use one and give the other one to a friend as a not too expensive vacuum gift, or save it as a pristine unused example later down the road. Hope it's got a US plug!

@Mike
Yikes, I'll be sure to only vacuum clean dirt! JK. That truly is a bummer, though. Seems like a real recreation of the original which from the attached video, doesn't seem to be built for any type of bag at all. That motor must have been equally filthy! I wonder when bags were developed for vacuums and what company launched that revolutionary creation! What a difference in today's market... no one would use a machine like that anymore...it would just create a vehicle for micro dust to be spread throughout one's home. I'll be careful not to overload the pre-motor filters! CLICK HERE TO GO TO completenutt's LINK This post was last edited 04/22/2018 at 21:52 |

It's a shame that the filtration on these is so bad. Very cool vacuum.
Main problem is that the cyclone system let too much fine dust to the pre motor filter and it's not very well sealed causing dust to go to the motor. This guy in the video got free vacuum from Vax (obviously another model). I guess Vax saw this video. I almost bought one of these, but now I am glad that I didn't. |

Researched and found out that disposable filter bags were first introduced by Hoover in the 1920s.

Wasn't it AirWay that came up with the first disposable bags?Thought there was a legal fight between Hoover and AirWay about the bags and beater bars,too. |
