Some might say this is the brand that got the British referring to vacuums as hoovers. Nobody really sees the truth behind that; but the fact is Hoover is a brand that one has to try even just once.

Tooled with a 12 foot hose, it can reach the tightest of space and its telescopic handle makes it all the easier to handle. The future of vacuums? Hoover's got it.
