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.

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.

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. | ||

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.

I guess this one qualifies. I've never been able to find any videos, pictures, or information about it.
The Deluxe Convertible, Model U4145. I "fostered" this one for a while, before passing it along to its rightful owner. Sorry again for the sideways picture. I'll never understand how to turn them the right way. Barry

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

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.

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.

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.

I just discovered this
I didn't realized that Hoover had these vacuums that were made by Sandia Products called the Ground Command CH85005 10 Quart, the same company who also makes Raven backpack machines. I wish they were still selling them because I think they make the best backpacks on the market.

Dont exactly know how uncommon.....
The green translucent version of the Widepath seems to be harder to find many pictures of on the internet compared to the Red and Blue (which I think were sold at Kmart and Sears respectively but I could be wrong), which is weird because the green version was the one they always directly showed on Hoover's old website. Wondering if green was the dealership model. Only this photo and one video on YT are all I know of outside of like the old Amazon photo of it.

That was a Hoover sold in the US in the early to mid 2000s as one of their cheap end models. They came in bagless and bagged configurations and had several different names such as Preferred, Sprint, Spirit etc. Around that time there was also a bagless in similar price range called the Sprint (a different model completely) with the same bagless set up as the bagless Tempos.

The company who made almost every central vac for Hoover is still around today called Cana-Vac. They're even making them for Maytag today who once owned Hoover.

Never knew Hoover made a shop-vac. It must be rare because I never seen one in all this time. With Shop-Vac holding the monopoly on shop-vacs, it could not have been easy to sell them, which is likely why few bought them. I would imagine the quality would be better since they were likely sold for a higher price point. | ||

I have always been a lover of Hoover power head canisters. From the early Celebrity to the later PowerMax/ Futura/ Spectrum/ Windtunnel S bag style units. I really like them.
We also can't forget the awesome headlight of their Decade style hoods as seen in the last photo. | ||

There's a Hoover in the back of the first photo that looks to be a Clarke/Nilfisk Advance recolor (as well as a few other uncommon forgotten machines). The second is of my Windtunnel Supreme U5450-900. It has the less common electronic bag check indicator.

Hoover SteamVac Jr.
Now THIS is a forgotten machine. The SteamVac Jr., dating from the late 90s-early 2000s, is a portable deep cleaner along the lines of the Bissell Little Green. The only videos I've been able to find of it were some commercials, along with an unboxing video (the user found one at a thrift store). There are absolutely NO videos of the SteamVac Jr. in action, so I've never been able to hear what it sounds like.
