Hoover Platinum Collection: Cyclonic Bagless Upright

The Hoover Platinum line is a sleek new collection of vacuums that brings technology and simplicity together to create a new type of cleaning. The new line includes: Lightweight bagged Upright and Portable Canister, LiNX Cordless Hand Vac and Stick Vac, Cyclonic Bagless Upright, Carpet Cleaner and Cyclonic Bagless Canister. Why should you choose Hoover? Hoover has been a leader in the floor care industry since the 1900′s and it’s brand is easily recognizable for quality.
Murray Spangler, an inventor who worked nights as a janitor, had an asthma problem. He called upon his inventor’s creativity to find a solution to the dust that aggravated his asthma as he swept up at night.
Spangler gathered a tin soap box, a fan, a sateen pillow case and a broom handle, and assembled an odd-looking, cumbersome contraption that managed to pull the dust away from the air he breathed. He quickly realized that this “suction sweeper,” as he called it, had enormous sales potential, and he began seeking financial backing.
W.H. “Boss” Hoover, owner of a leather goods manufacturing shop, bought the patent from Spangler in 1908, retained him as a partner, and soon had six employees assembling six units a day in a corner of the leather goods shop.
We have a big problem in my house. My husband is a major clean freak and it is rubbing off on Colton. One of Colton’s favorite activities is to vacuum, so he loved the Cyclonic Bagless Upright. This vacuum is high-tech. The first thing I noticed was the sleek look. Very simple, but futuristic. One of my favorite features is the embedded dirt finder, which actually tells you if the floor is clean or dirty. The on/off switch is located right on the handle for convenience, as well as a floor setting that can be switched depending on your carpet height. The only downside is the weight of the vacuum, which weighs about 21 pounds. Despite how large it is, I would recommend this to anyone because of it’s high quality performance.
Check out Colton trying out the Cyclonic Bagless upright. I didn’t even tell him to vacuum. Excuse all the mess, we just moved in a couple days ago and everything isn’t put away yet!
