does anyone know the difference between this vacuum and the turbo powered one for 230.00?

I have been researching this quite a bit. It appears they are the same basic vacuum cleaner. They have the same motor, same dimensions, same weight, same cord length, everything. They even have the same user manual (as per the Hoover website). I can find only two differences: 1) The U6485900 ("Blue") one on this page does have a dirt finder while the more expensive UH50000 ("Silver") turbo power one does not have that feature. 2) While both vacuums have the identical Turbine Hand Tools, the Silver one calls it "Pet Hair Tool." Sounds like a gimmick to me. The information I found is directly from the Hoover website (each page has links to download the user manual which has different numbers, but turns out to be identical in content). Blue: http://hoover.com/products/details/u6485900/anniversary-windtunnel-self-propelled-bagged-upright/ Silver: http://hoover.com/products/details/uh50000/anniversary-windtunnel-self-propelled-bagged-upright/ Personally, I'm buying the blue one.

It's the same vacuum. The $59.00 has 1 extras bonus battery. You put both batteries on the charger, so you always have 1 ready in case you need extra cleaning.

I just took ours to a local vacuum store that carried the brand; it was also where I bought it from but that shouldn't matter. Would have to find a shop that sold them however. Better find one though since you will need to take it in any time it gets clogged due to poor design...(can you tell I didn't like ours?...)

It is an exceptional vacuum. I bought two of them, for two separate properties, used by housekeepers regularly. I have also used it personally. No issues at all. Great suction, excellent on hard surfaces and carpets. The Amazon price is about half of the Oreck stores price, great deal. I don't know what the price is currently at Amazon, but I did place it in my cart and waited until the price was reduced to $89 and then purchased it. Oreck.com and in stores is $199. The price goes up and down rather dramatically. The cord is retractable. I would rate this as probably the finest I have used in a canister.

If you're going to spend that much, buy a MIELE brand. I'm looking to replace ours, which is about 10 years old. It's easy to use and lightweight with great suction. I'm looking to see if any other brands are equivalent and cheaper possibly for replacement. I saw your comment and thought I'd comment.

Good answers. I called the manufacturer re the difference between 320 and 319. They told me the difference was the color!! Also the retailer can charge whatever they want. They didn't believe me when I pointed out that there's about $100 difference between the 2 products on-line. I think the difference is that you get the attachments that allow for vacuuming floors with the 320. But, I'm not sure that's correct!!

i think it is the same model. Both are 2700 psi. Same your money and buy a better unit. Generac customer service stinks and Amazon will not refund on this unit due to the manufacturer warranty. Mine has been at the repair shop for a month. I have not been able to use it since delivery. The engine was no good. They sent another engine but it was the wrong one. Still waiting.

There is no distinction on the Dyson web site or reviews. The unit I got on Amazon on this link is the mk2.

I've bought two of them from Amazon in the past couple of years between $45 and $60, and you're right, Hoover has them for about $59. I don't know what gives with these high prices! What kind of nut would pay $200-$300 for a stick vac??? I can't help but think it is a mistake...but nobody has corrected it.

They are the same machine. The Complete comes with all the tools. If you use your vacuum cleaner to clean a lot, get the complete, it's cheaper than buying the tools separately.

I also have Panasonic platinum vacuum and its the best strength and lifting of all pet hair and anything. It cost about 230$ and I've had it for 5 years. The one you questioned is great for 90$ but considerable differance. I always get cheap version of everything but I was convinced by a actual vacuum salesman and I am very happy. I just recently go lesser panisonic for downstairs and keep other upstairs. The panisonic platinum is sold as a pet hair superior vacuum. It is worth extra 130$. Cheaper is a good value also and much lighter and quieter if that matters.

I have the UV440, which I purchased from Costco. It's a great vacuum. Even if the vacuum is cheaper through Amazon, I would still purchase from Costco. If the vacuum has any problems, Costco will replace it with the benefit of no shipping costs, time or hassle.

Signature has a more powerful vacuum motor. I think it also has upgraded firmware that allows it map and clean a room more efficiently.

I have not compared the gtech to the Hoover, but I will say that the gtech is the best vacuum cleaner that we have ever used! We love it and have retired out current Hoover canister vac. This gtech is so convenient: cordless, light weight, amazing vac power and so easy to clean. I highly recommend it. Bob

Hi, my vacuum is a model sc679 type j-2, amps 5.0 I found a number you may call and ask before you make your purchase 1-800-800-8975.I would suggest give them a call and order here on amazon as the price is fabulous. Have a wonderful day Michael.

I tried to buy the Flair model last year and Hoover told me that it is a discontinued model and there was a few around but hard to find. I notified Consumer Report of this fact is it was their #1 recommendation. You can find the difference on hover vacuum site. I and my wife are pleased with the cyclone and it functions as advertised.
