| About This Brand |
|---|
Hoover introduced its first vacuum in 1907 and has established itself as one of the most recognizable brands in America. More recently, Hoover was bought from Whirlpool by TTI Floor Care, the owners of Dirt Devil. Hoover sells a wide variety of uprights at mass-market retailers, with models ranging from as little as $50 to $300. It also makes hand and stick vacuums, canister models (about $80 to $300), deep cleaners, central vacuums, bare-floor cleaners, and an outdoor sweeper, though the company is best known for its uprights. |

Almost useless

Comment:
I have two dogs so I use this thing several times a week. First, the good. I've used this thing a lot and never had anything break. It works well on carpets. That's about it.<br /><br />Now the bad. Its useless on non-carpeted floors and furniture. Because you can't turn off the brush, it just blows everything around instead of sucking it up. Combined with the poor suction and everything just bunches up under the vacuum. So I might be vacuuming a floor, thinking its all getting sucked into the canister. But nope, suddenly a large pile of hair and dirt will get kicked out from underneath it. I have to constantly pull off the hose to get the piles of hairs and all the corners because this vacuum just won't get it.<br /><br />Also because of the poor suction, that little attachment for furniture is completely useless. It relies on the suction power to turn its brush. But you can just stop it with your hand. It has zero ability to pick up anything.

Just bought this vacuum based on consumer reports. Got it home--used it in my living room--the belt broke before I was even able to vacuum the entire carpet once. Luckily, as I had just purchased it a few hours before I was able to return it to the store for a refund.

Comment:
I purchased this vacuum 6 months ago based on the CR review. I'm already shopping for a replacement. Previously, I have had two Dyson bagless uprights (They worked flawlessly, but plastic pieces kept breaking off after a year of use, so I wanted to try another brand). This vacuum gets a lot of dirt and hair out of my carpet. That's the only good thing I can say about it. On carpet, it seems to leave a one inch strip of carpet untouched, just to the right of center. This means that I have to go over each path of the vacuum twice. Annoying, but not a big deal like it would be on a lawn mower.<br /><br />Since you cannot turn off the brush, it is nearly useless on bare floors. As for the attachments, they are very basic. They are just not that functional because there is such inadequate suction from the hose.<br /><br />I love bagless vacuums, because I like to see what I'm getting out of the carpet, and I hate running out of bags. In fact, I have to empty the canister on this vacuum twice every time I vacuum my home (3000 sq ft). I cannot imagine having a bagged vacuum and going through two bags every single week... But, this vacuum has me reconsidering. Emptying the container is far messier and dustier than the Dysons. The dirt doesn't drop out when you open the container over the trash. Nearly every time I have to put my hand in to pull out the debris. Frequently the button to release the trap door gets stuck and I have to use two hands to open it up.<br /><br />I like the retractable cord, but it is so short that in my large living room I have to switch outlets. It needs another 6 feet at least.<br /><br />Finally, I expect a vacuum to be noisy, after all it's a vacuum. but the Hoover is much noisier than my previous vacuums and my kids hate the noise.<br /><br />The best part about this vacuum is the price! But it ends up being a poor value, since I'm looking to get rid of it 6 months later... Not sure what I will end up buying this time around, but it won't be another Hoover.
