CARPET CLEANING: The Hoover Air Lift UH72511 did a very good job of removing the embedded mixture of sand and powder from our soiled test carpets. This is a measure of how well a vacuum removes the dirt hidden deep in the carpet, invisible to the eye.
BARE FLOOR: The Hoover did a very good job of removing sand from our vinyl floor and leaving very little behind and not scattering sand across the floor.
PET HAIR: This model did a Fair job at picking up pet hair from carpets using its power head. The visual inspection of the test carpet following the pet-hair test reveals traces of pet hair left behind, and pet hair was caught in the brush roll.
