Hoover® – America’s First Name in Floor Care – Celebrates 100 Years
Get your house Hoover Clean with An Anniversary Edition Upright or Canister
Cleveland, Ohio (June 16, 2008) – Crumbs. Dust. Dirt. Guck and grime. Sometimes you see it, sometimes you don’t. Invisible intruders invade your home every day.
Shouldn’t removing intruders be as easy as one, two, three? It’s time to get the cleanest clean from the company that invented the concept: Hoover®. Only Hoover’s patented WindTunnel™ technology utilizes three distinct air channels to lift and remove the hidden, ground-in dirt that other vacuums leave behind.
As America’s first name in floor care celebrates its 100th anniversary, a new line of products that showcases the brand’s quality, innovation and cleaning performance is now available.
The Anniversary Edition offers a product for every consumer and every cleaning challenge. Made up of
five vacuums, the line includes four uprights and a canister. Each Anniversary Edition product features Hoover’s patented WindTunnel technology, HEPA filtration that traps 99.97% dust and pollens down to 0.3 microns, and fingertip power controls.
“Consumers can count on Hoover for a deep down clean. WindTunnel meets the highest standards of clean by picking up and trapping more dirt than other vacuums,” said Jarrod Streng, director of product development at Hoover. “With WindTunnel, you don’t have to worry about dirt scattering back onto the floor as you vacuum.”
The Hoover WindTunnel Anniversary Edition vacuum models will be available in retail outlets nationwide in June.
Hoover’s Anniversary Edition includes the following products:
• WindTunnel™ Bagged. Perfect for messes with extra fine debris like sand or soil, this model has an embedded dirt finder that notifies the user when the carpet is clean. The standard in clean is the WindTunnel upright that features metal hood accents, an ergonomic handle, fingertip controls and HEPA filtration. New, non-marring wheels won’t scratch bare floors and are designed to make it easier to push on carpet. The suggested retail price for the WindTunnel Bagged is $139.99 and will be available in techno blue.
• WindTunnel™ Bagless. This bagless upright provides the convenience of an easy, bottom-empty
dirt cup so there is less interaction with dust, dirt or grime. It is designed to include all of the standard WindTunnel product features – metal hood accents, an ergonomic handle, fingertip controls, HEPA filtration, embedded dirt finder and non-marring wheels. Also includes a powered pet hair tool. The WindTunnel Bagless has a suggested retail price of $159.99 and will be available in warm silver.
• WindTunnel™ Self Propelled. Hoover’s WindTunnel Self Propelled design works in forward and reverse motions making vacuuming virtually effortless for consumers. The self propelled model includes a powered pet hair tool made to clean up after animals with long or short hair in addition to the standard WindTunnel product features – metal hood accents, an ergonomic handle, fingertip on/off and brushroll controls, HEPA filtration, embedded dirt finder and non-marring wheels. The WindTunnel Self Propelled has a suggested retail price of $229.99 and will be available in techno blue.
• WindTunnel™ Convertible™. The WindTunnel Convertible’s innovative design allows consumers to choose between a bagged or bagless vacuuming system depending on the cleaning challenge. A bagged system allows for optimal cleaning of extra fine dirt or dust while a bagless system provides users with the convenience of a bagless dirt cup. Fingertip controls for power on and off and brushroll are located in the ergonomic handle. The Convertible includes a powered pet hair tool as well as the standard WindTunnel product features – metal hood accents,
an ergonomic handle, fingertip controls, HEPA filtration, embedded dirt finder and non-marring wheels. The Convertible has a suggested retail price of $249.99 and is available in bronze metallic.
• WindTunnel™ Bagged Canister. WindTunnel technology isn’t only found in uprights. The bagged canister is designed for consumers with carpets, hard floors and large area rugs. A WindTunnel power nozzle guarantees a deep clean on any type of floor. With the lightweight design and brush roll shut off, this canister can go from carpets to hard floors with ease. With HEPA filtration, an on-board tool kit including a hard floor brush and powered pet hair tool, full bag indicator, variable speeds and automatic cord rewind, Hoover’s WindTunnel Bagged Canister is for serious cleaners.
