Before my step aunt married my uncle, she had one of these before that was bought brand new somewhere in early 2009 from Sears. It would've been NOS as Hoover no longer made that particular model at the time. I remember it being my first ever experience with a Supreme. Impressions were that it was easy to assemble, it had a TON of power through the hose, the cloth bag it came with filtered extremely well, filter bag check indicator worked well, I did liked the carry handles, it had a pretty bright headlight, the attachments were alright, the manual height adjuster was a plus, and I really did liked that the switch was on the handle. The drawbacks was it's rather too big or bulky for my taste, at least for her condo I thought it was. The handle felt awkward on my palm. I wasn't a fan of the tracks it was grooming on the carpet, I remember making several passes to go over some sand it was struggling to pick up. Because it has a stretch hose, the turbo brush and the attachments were difficult to use. And the dirt sensor lights although it was cool to look at first, it later became annoying to stare at not to mention they were too bright for me. On a side note I also remember when we changed the first bag out and started using the UltraCare type Y paper bags, they leaked out a TON of dust. So finally those complaints of mine convinced her to return it and eventually got a machine that was much more suitable for her place. While I'm glad she replaced it, at the same time I wish she could've kept it if I would've known eventually she'd marry my uncle and moved into a house that the Windtunnel would've been much better to use on than her other vacuum because of the manual height adjuster the Hoover had. Their carpets were like thick shag pile, both her and my uncle's Panasonics had automatic height adjusters which not only were harder to push but also they burn through belts pretty quickly. Despite all of that, I thought it was a good vacuum. Ever since then I've been after one for my collection. Loved the blue translucent colors, very simple to use and repair, the sound of the motor was like music to my ears, it was just overall such a pleasant looking machine even though I could care less about the Hoovers that Maytag had produced. Anyways, to find out when your Hoover was made, look at the first four digits of your serial code. That should tell you the month and the year it was assembled at.
