I keep stumbling across things like this

They always make me laugh. Just to make it worse Candy saw fit to publish it on the Hoover Website.

Something makes me think most people at Candy have no idea how old a Soft Wave would be anyway. Kinda sad really...

yes the softwave was a good machine, (for a plastic drum machine).

Check out what this guy thinks of his softwave on youtube!

"...how very happy I have been and lucky as I've used this machine for 22-24 years". Would 12 to 14 have been more accurate?

Presumably Candy still employ some ex-Hoover long service award type people in their offices in Merthyr Tydfil? Surely someone would notice? Perhaps not. Maybe they have all left in disgust.

At least Maytag made an effort to learn the history of Hoover. Candy are perhaps more preoccupied with cutting costs... Hoover is now just a badge with a bit of brand loyalty attached to it, Candy quality will do nothing to maintain that loyalty.
