Vacuum cleaners

Comment:

I just bought this vacuum after having my last Hoover for over 10 years. This vacuum seems to be very nice, much quieter than my old Hoover and weighs less. It is very easy to empty and manauever, handle drops down far enough to go under coffee tables etc. I have read some reviews on many like this and always heard that they are noisy too heavy and fall apart. Although I have only had this vacuum a short time I do not see this happening but will gladly eat crow if it does in time. It is nice to be able to shut the brush off to do small rugs and hard floors, my old vacuum would suck up the rugs due to the brush, not anymore! I also read some reviews that the cord rewind was bad?! I had been around my mothers old cannister vacs when growing up and they seemed just fine as does this one. How anyone can give this vacuum a bad review is beyond me unless they just simply got a lemon?! In that case that happens with all things including new cars. If I get 3 years out of it, it was well worth the money! I expect to get another 10+ years like my old one which by the way would still be in use if at some point the wife hadn't sucked up something wet and caused it to stink badly each time we ran it. I took it apart and fabreezed it excessively but that didn't cut it so I bought this one and use old Hoover bag model for cleaning the insides of the cars now.For [$] I will give this vacuum its due, just because my old Hoover was/is great and I can't see paying 400+ for Dyson's or those 1200.00 Kirby tanks!

Comment:

Hoover should be ashamed to have put this dog on the market. The HEPA filter will last for ten to twenty vacuumings then it becomes torn and useless. A new one costs $20 and you have to order it online. This product should have been recalled. I am so disappointed with Hoover I will never buy another product from them. I am not very happy with Consumer Reports for not mentioning this as it is all over the web. There are many unhappy users...check it out for yourself.

How long have you owned it:

Three-to-six months

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

As we were moving into our new house, our previous vacuum died. So we bought the best thing we could find at [...] without breaking the bank. We choose correctly!! This vacuum is the quietest vacuum I have ever used. With that being said, it works great. 70% of my house is tile, with only carpet in the bedrooms. So we were looking for something that would work well on tiles, and will pick up small bits as we have 3 cats and 2 small children. This particular vacuum can pick up cat litter without scattering it, it also vacuums the carpets very, very thoroughly. It is simple to use and the auto retracting cord is great. It is also easy to store as the handle folds down to fit into smaller spaces. I am in love with this model!
