You know i wish every carpet cleaner had a "water only mode" since it would make sense to rinse the carpet after depositing soap on to it. Bissell knew what they were doing when they made this machine and its brilliant
It would be awesome if you could consider reviewing the Bissell Flip It Hard Floor Cleaner if you happen to get one. If you're able to do that review, that would be fantastic. If not, that's okay too.
These are neat machines. I believe in 96 or 97 is when these originally came out. Hoover also sued Bissell for having their upright vacuums being too similar to the Hoover elites. Eureka had machines that were very similar to the elites and yet they decided to sue Bissell. The reason why the pure air style machines were even made was because of that lawsuit. I can’t believe no one sued Hoover for claiming to have filtration on their elites.
Love mine! Excellent deep carpet cleaning, lightweight, huge bag, very long cord, headlight, quieter than an Oreck or Riccar, too. Highly rated in Consumer Reports when it came out. It’s a shame Hoover stopped selling these. For someone who prefers a dedicated vacuum for carpet cleaning only - with no tools - this is a fantastic cleaner. I’ve paired it with my Miele canister and this cleaning team suits my cleaning style perfectly.
These were probably the closest we've got to getting a modernized Hoover Elite. I love these, but it's a shame they were discontinued after TTI bought out Oreck.
I used one of these over 30 years ago, at a place that I used to work until it was traded for a Panasonic circa 1991. Never thought much about it. Now I wouldn't mind finding one for my collection
An absolutely killer vacuum. Sucks the hardest on the job that I've ever seen! I bought for longevity and heavy duty power. Only downsides (which didn't matter to me) are it weighs almost country freedom pounds, and it doesn't have a particularly long hose/attachment outfitting. Again, I am a young man and for my purposes this thing is going to be munching at my carpets for at least a decade! 😽👍
Lovin the red carpet, when I used to work at a thrift store I remember seeing one of these but it wasn't labeled decade 80 or anything it was just labeled Hoover and it looked like a base version of it they never put it out on the floor of the store otherwise if they did I would have got it in a heartbeat but that's still pains me to know what could have happened to that vacuum
What year is your cart? I had the gold cart and mine still called the rupees "rubies." I see yours still has the older spelling "Gannon" before they changed removed an "n" from his name.
Anything cheap that isn't mid range to high end is louder than past Hoovers. This is definitely louder than an old Hoover, but it isn't as loud as the other crap out there from Dirt Devil, Bissell, or Shark.
I frickin hate how Hoover was so willy nilly with naming models...a "supreme" would have had automatic tool conversion but no spinscrub, the first "deluxe" had no automatic tool conversion but had spinscrub, the "plus" had automatic tool conversion, spinscrub, and a front mounted upholstery tool, the "ultra" had a different style hood, automatic tool conversion, spinscrub, and a powered upholstery tool...the later deluxe and plus models were pretty much the same, both had automatic tool conversion, spinscrub, but the plus had the front mounted upholstery tool while the deluxe didn't. Had Hoover stuck to this, telling models apart would be so easy, but nooo, they had to screw it up...I have a "deluxe" that has automatic tool conversion, spinscrub, and a front mounted upholstery tool...in reality it is a "plus".
