Can anyone tell me about the first cleaner featured in this video, the Hoover Core? We have it in the UK as the Vax Mach Compact, but I can't find anything on google about the 'Hoover Core' version. Is it something new which hasn't hit the market in the US yet?

I wonder if that was a prototype for the Hoover Platinum Series Canister? It looks a bit like it, just white.

Hi Nathaniel,

no, this is something different entirely. It's basically TTI's answer to Dyson's DC22 Baby. Similar features, similar size, MUCH lower price!

Pictured below is the Vax version - very similar to the £240 DC22, but retailing at £70!

I'm just interested, because in the past, Vax have always taken existing Hoover products and adapted them for the UK. This seems to be a case of it working the other way round, and Hoover taking a UK Vax product and adapting it...

Oh, okay. Thanks for telling me.

Hoover has been weird lately. Once they said that they weren't selling a model of their Tempo (Which if you don't know, is a striped down Windtunnel) but I saw it in stores all the time. Then one day I found it back on Hoover's web-site!

You know much more about Hoovers than me!

I just noticed something. The guy who posted this is in
Australia! So this must not be a US vacuum.

Aha! Well spotted! That's interesting, then...because Hoover in Australia is - I thought - Hoover-Candy, like in the UK. Hence them having a very similar line-up to the UK range.

So why is a TTI product, badged as Hoover, in Australia?!

I'm sure somebody once told me that Hoover's laundry products in Australia are manufactured by Electrolux...

I looked on their web-site, and it has some Hoover UK vacuums, and some US Hoover vacuums, and it looks like a Bissell Garage Vac too!

Here's the link

Hoover (laundry appliances) were bought by Electrolux along with Westinghouse, Simpson, Dishlex and many more... Hoover Laundry appliances are gooooone....

Hoover floor care is still around... IMHO does not seem to be as popular as in other countries...

Two separate companies...

As for core? Press the linkie :)

Hoover Floorcare Australia is now owned by Godfreys a vacuum cleaner retailer, it was spilt off from Hoover Australia when the company was sold by Southcorp with whitegoods going to Electrolux and Floorcare to Godfreys...

Godfreys sources models from both TTI and Hoover UK/Candy.

Wow, what a mess! And I thought the US/UK situation was complicated!

Do Godfrey's have the right to slap the Hoover name on any product, made by any manufacturer, then? Or just products which are already branded 'Hoover' in other countries?

Thanks to everyone who's contributed, you've answered my question!

Hey Jack,

Yep they have the right to slap it on anything and they do just check out the Hoover Australia website.......

That's why I'm having fun living in the UK now for work, I get access to the full Hoover Europe range both past and present .... the collection keeps growing... not looking forward to shipping it all home when I go back.....so far have added 16 machines to the collection since Jan.....

Hi Mark, thanks for the info. Disappointing, though - at very least, Hoover-Candy machines are, for the most part, exclusive designs. The Airvolution range was actually designed in Cambuslang, Scotland!

I didn't realise you were in the UK for work - I don't know where you're based, but if you're ever in the vicinity of Surrey, you'd be welcome to visit if you want to talk Hoover sometime! :)

Mark,

If you are in Hook, then you are practically on my doorstep, as I live in that part of London too - a little bit further in. Jack and I are likely to be meeting up soon, if you would like to join us for an evening of vac talk
