A forgotten Hoover product is very likely to not have a single video or two of it on Youtube. | ||

It’s rebadged from another maker I’ve seen it in Europe as a Fakir or as a Nilco. One of its earliest iterations in the U.S. was as a Clarke Combi-Vac. | ||

It's possible it came from England, but I'm pretty sure the pictures were taken in France when I found them online.
Technically these were sold in multiple brands including Sebo. In the US, they were sold under as Powr-Flite, Sandia, Bissell, my personal favorite Oreck, etc.

Never seen either one before, fascinating! It looks as the Telios was sold in other countries according to the wattage but the Runabout was sold here in the US according to the amps. Very much reminds me of the orange S1361 canister that I knew Hoover sold here before and it looks very similar to both of those other ones, they're probably made by the same manufacture which I don't know who it is.

*courtesy not curiosity.
Two more Hoovers that I also don't think are on YouTube, at least not anymore. A green Windtunnel Widepath LS upright and this Steamvac that was only sold through HSN.

Even though the green Windtunnel Widepath LS and the HSN Steamvac are not on Youtube, it's no big deal because other variants are on there. | ||

There's that. Those Runabout pics I found online that are essentially rebadged Fold Away, Telios, Windtunnel/Tempo, Spirit, Sprint upright, and Futura machines, they're kind of a rarity. All I know is that they were Kmart exclusives back in the day. | ||

As panasonicvac stated
The rare Windtunnel Widepath LS. An extremely rare translucent variant of the Limited. Honestly has to be one of the coolest windtunnels I ever saw.

THere usued to be old QVC photos of the hoovers they sold in the 1990s and the turbopower 5200 was one of them. Theres some photos of it on flickr as well. Surprisingly that one is more common than the Widepath LS. My aunt had the version with no dirt finder, the 5100. So did my mother before a screw was sucked up and burnt the belt out.

There was one particular Hoover
That are used to own, it was pretty unique as it didn’t involve any sort of cyclonic technology but it was still Baklis, there were three filters I think, a screen to prevent all the hair in large dust particles clogging the filter a large particulate filter and a small particular filter, so that worked extremely well, both in dust particle filtering and in cleaning the carpets, as back, so that worked extremely well, both in dust particle filtering and in cleaning the carpets, as back before my mum had replaced the carpet in her Bedroom, that Vacuum was literally sucking up loose bits of pile, as you could see the white fibres in the dust collection tank, that machine was awesome

There seems to be only one YouTube clip of the rare Hoover “Denim” Convertible….see the link below.
This blue jeans Levis vacuum is a model I rarely see on EBay or even on Vacuumland…must have really been a limited edition. Love the tan leather name badge sewn onto the denim bag!!!! CLICK HERE TO GO TO eurekaprince's LINK | ||

You don't see the Hoover Sprint terribly often either. It looks like the green bagless Runabout upright a few posts up except its in silver. I have a 12v corded version of the Hoover Dubl-Duty Wet/Dry Hand Vac rebranded as the Hoover Road Rat. It has a bag it and it's two attachment slide into. We keep that in my wife's Volkswagen Atlas as we have a one year old and a four year old and accidents happen. I'll try to snap some pictures of the Road Rat tonight.

Hoover "Dimension" Preferred
This one looks really nice and I couldve sworn something like this was being sold at Walmart a LONG time ago. A Hoover Preferred styled "Dimension". Kind of looks like the Breathe Easy but I like the red on this one ALOT more.

Hoover Windtunnel Mach6
I don’t have a picture of this vacuum right now and I’ll have to see if my grandma still owns, or if someone has a picture of it, but it was a fairly big machine that was silver with a bright green accent color. It was the first of what I remember of Hoovers bagless vacuums here in the US. If I remember correctly it was just a rebadged Vax Model for the US. It was a pretty good vacuum from what I remember definitely on the heavier side but she loved it and used it till she eventually got a shark a few years ago.

Another rare Windtunnel?
A translucent green Windtunnel Supreme, usually in blue or black. Never seen a green one except one labeled as Widepath.

Saved this Hoover from the trash man. Works great, just needed a good cleaning. The attachments were all there and the self propelled works great. I remember these in all the Service Merchandise and Sears ads of the 90s. Anytime I’d go in those stores, these would be on a big display.

Hoover Widepath Bagless
For some reason these have become really elusive. Probably not Hoovers greatest bagless but id assume better than the dirty fan Twin Chambers. I'd certainly like to get one for the nostalgic factor. Especially the one in teal (left). Saw one in Target years ago next to what was the last of the Elites (right) produced.

My grandfather had a Widepath before up at his cabin, it shortly got replaced by a Kenmore 2621 that he still has and uses today. I don't remember it too well anymore but this is as close as memory serves.

Here’s something for y’all
So awhile back I posted about this Hoover Windtunnel Mach 6 and I was finally able to find it! I don’t really know to much about this machine and I can’t find any information on it anywhere. Excuse the dirtiness of it, my grandma has me doing a service on it.
