I just bought this a week ago and so far, for what I use it for, it’s been really excellent. I have mostly wall to wall carpet here and this unit has done a fantastic job of cleaning it. My last vac was a Kenmore and for some reason did not do a excellent job on my carpet. Maybe that was a poor model or something, or it may have been broken and needed to be serviced. I’m not bashing Kenmore.
When I first got this one, I got a full container of dust/dirt each time I vacuumed. It has gotten my carpets MUCH cleaner. It seems well built and powerful, like it will last quite a while. It’s a huge improvement over the last vacuum I had. So far I’m quite pleased with it. If you have a lot of wall to wall carpet, I’d say this would make a excellent unit for you.
I have had this model vacuum for several years. I have been pleased with some aspects of performance, and very displeased with others.
I have appreciated the power of this vacuum, with multiple animals in the house it cleans up enough hair to fill the bin 3-4 times during each vacuum session. This has also been an annoyance, as I feel the bin must be on the empty side for the unit to perform well. While it is frustrating to have the suction power drop due to a full bin, it is still better than having to replace a bag!
Main positive attributes:
-bagless
-folding handle allows unit to fit in tighter storage
-multiple accessories allow multiple surface cleaning
-very powerful
-works VERY well on carpets and rugs
Main drawbacks:
-belts break frequently, can be hard to find replacements these days
-filters clog easily and must be replaced for top performance, can be costly as unit has two filters, and each is approximately $9 to replace
-”kicks back” grit on very low carpets and hard floors, seems to spread the mess rather than pick it up
-the wheels don’t seem to stay connected to the unit, makes an issue with vacuuming longer carpets
I’ve been pleased enough with the vacuum to keep it and use it over the last three years. But, I paid about $99 for the unit and do NOT feel that it was worth the cost. If I could, I would go back and buy a different unit.
This Hoover is a work horse. I have been using mine three or four times a week for a couple years and it is still going strong.
The largest pro of this vacuum is certainly the wide path, this is fantastic for vacuuming large areas of carpet. I also appreciate that it is bagless and that it is simple to empty the cylinder – just snap down the clip and the cylinder comes out, take the filter off the top and you’re ready to dump the contents in to the trash with no mess.
My only con is that the attachments never really stay secure on the back of the vacuum. They always fall out or come undone. I keep the attachments stored elsewhere to avoid this hassle. Even with the attachment issue, I am still giving this Hoover five stars, it’s just a fantastic all purpose vacuum!
My wife and I have not had any of the problems the other reviewer mentions. We have been impressed how much dust and dirt this vacuum picks up that our ancient one did not. Plus, it is a lot lighter in weight than our ancient one. …and we don’t have to run all over town to try to find the right bag. My wife now likes to vacuum!
I didn’t buy this product at Amazon. I bought it at another store for about $55 and it was the largest waste of money. I have hard floors and wanted a light upright vacuum seeing as how I didn’t need a huge wide “wind tunnel” or a steam cleaner for carpet. Even on the setting for hard floors this thing will not suck right. You can feel the dirt and specks of things going right through the vacuum and hitting you on the feet and legs. I have paid less for other models of Hoover and was quite pleased. This vacuum has been a terrible disappointment. I noticed Amazon’s price of $99 for this product and I nearly croaked. I want to save someone else the distress. To be honest, I’ve never used this on a carpeted surface. It could be that it works just fine on carpet. In order to get it to suck up anything on my floors (such as a piece of paper or cat food partical) I have to do this sort of “pac-man” maneuver where i raise the vacuum slightly on its rear wheels then set it down on top of the object that I want it to suck. I’ve given up several times and just bent down and picked it up. I have a small 3-way bagless lightweight by Bissel which has more sucking power then this hoover. So, just beware. Maybe I got a lemon, but I have learned my lesson and will not buy another vacuum without having first read some reviews on its performance. I had always had fantastic luck with Hoovers in the past so I was surprised at how inept this upright was.
