LMFAO... I had to look that one up... somewhat lost in translation... Hoover is best known as Maytag over your side of the pond, iirc...

No one is ever going to Dyson the lounge is how I view it over here...

There was a cancelled advertising run I got "wind" of a long while back - "Nothing sucks like Electrolux sucks..."

Hoover has always been Hoover here. At one time Hoover USA was owned by Maytag Corp. but used the Hoover name. Times change, though. Maytag almost went bankrupt thanks to the failure of its Neptune line and was bought by Whirlpool, who then sold off Hoover USA to the Chinese company TTI (a/k/a Techtronic Industries).
