They were a small run of imported Turbopowers from across the pond re-badged for the US Market as the "Innovation". They were not made in large numbers - I suspect it was done to use up a bunch of leftover product that Hoover had - and not many have survived due to the fragility. For US collectors they are the closest thing you can get to a Turbopower without spending a few Benjamins importing one. I got mine April 13, 2021 for $4.99 at Goodwill.

I believe there were three different Innovations in the US. There's the soft bag one, and two hard bag ones. One with a hose on-board and one without. I think the rarest ones are the hard bag versions. But the Hoovers that's definitely more rare than the Innovations are the Sovereign models which are basically the Turbopowers from the UK. There's one with a cord rewind and one without a cord rewind.

Didn't the US also have the Hoover Sovereign? I vaguely seeing a beige one on Tom Anderson's thread when the Hoover Vault was closing up. | ||

I love my innovation
It’s kind of like a Hoover conquest, but made for home use. The attachments are the easiest to use. And it has decent enough suction for a fan first machine. The auger brush roll really pulls the dirt out of the carpet. I love the full bag indicator and the cord winder. The air flow is beyond tremendous. The handle is a little shorter than you would typically find on US machines.

Both of these came to me, brand new, first belonging to the late Michael Hays and passed on to me by my close friend Hans Craig. I love them both. The hard body absolutely must use Hoover sovereign type O bags. The soft bag can use the Hoover type B bag made for the soft bag innovations. I’ve seen many instances where the front bag door would blow off the hardbody model, because they were using bags that inflated too much.
