According to HSN today, HOOVER WT bagless T-series for $119 is HSN's NUMBER ONE rated vacuum by HSN consumers and HSN's most popular selling vacuum of all time.  Sold over 400 in first 10 minutes of air time.  It's an HSN exclusive HOOVER model tho the same model in other colors with auto cord rewind too is in the retail market place for $130.  HSN logs 247 customer reviews of this vacuum on its web site. 

The other HOOVER product that sold out is the latest Floormate Spin-srub for $140 with the attachments.

After HSN sold out of the FM Spin Scrub and WT T series with still 30 minutes left of Home Solutions, it deferred to another HOOVER: The Platinum Stick WT vacuum.  $150.  It logs over 150 reviews on HSN with a 4.6 rating out of 5.  Has a 15 minute run time on a 3 hour charge.  HSN used 2 to cover the 30 minute segment.  Both used with the brush on lasting at least 15 minutes each.  Neither lost its charge.  And Julie the HOOVER rep and her HSN peer kept cleaning up and redumping the same dirt on the rugs and floors and vacuuming up.  In fact, HSN sold out of the Platinum WT Stick with time still left and keep demoing with the HOOVER making the cleanup jobs look like a piece of cake.  The original price of this was $230 so $150 is the lowest selling price by HSN and most other retailers fotr this with a 6 year warranty.

If I had some free time I'd match up/off the HOOVER Platinum Stick against the bagless maker which claims it has the most powerful stick and see if the latter makes the grade.  Better yet maybe Consumer Reports will pick up the test and pit the 2 to the challenge and see which is really the most powerful stick.  Anybody taking bets?

Surely you jest.  A bagless is NUMBER ONE.  Those niche vacs were doomed years ago (as was Dyson).  What is this world comimg to?

The interesting sales issue I noted is the HSN rep, not Julie the HOOVER rep, said the leading bagless maker sells this same cyclonic bagless product for $400 and $500 and HOOVER offers the same, even better beause it's much lighter, as she raises it up over her head, for $120. 

Don't call me Surely.
