The Hooverette was not one of the most popular cleaners made by Hoover. Introduced in 1961 to both the UK and USA markets (with all machines built at Perivale, the Hooverette was intended to rival the stick type vacuum cleaners that were popular in European households, and to provide a second cleaner for larger homes. It featured space age styling like the Constellation and a low price, but the Hooverette lacked power at only 240 watts, and was swiftly repaced in the American market by the Hoover Handivac, which was never sold in the UK. Over here, this model limped on until the late 1970s before being quietly dropped. This cleaner, a 1964 model, was bought through a private advert, and is in little-used condition, as is common with surviving Hooverettes. |
