Hoover Complete Performance Corded Vacuum Cleaner, Bagged Vacuum Cleaner, Traps 99% of Dust Matter, Wide Cleaning Path, Includes Pet Upholstery Tool, Powerful Vacuum Cleaners for Home Use

I have used upright Hoover vacuums for years as a backup to my other vacuum. This was reasonably priced and works perfect on all of my area rugs as well as my wooden floors. It is basically a no frills vacuum, uses bags which is what I always want in a vacuum. It came packaged very well in a sturdy box, was simple to put together. For people who have large houses and more than one floor it is always helpful to have more than one vacuum to prevent lugging them up the stairs. The suction is very good on this vacuum and there is an extension cord for picking up loose items such as dog hair. Even though I use it as a second vacuum it would also work well as your principle vacuum.

The vacuum handles well. Its wide path and suction make it a breeze to clean the carpets in my home. The electrical cord is a good length and the attachments are great. Hoover has done a fine job in manufacturing this quality appliance.

I'd like to preface my remarks by saying I have used the vacuum a single time, but have handled it quite a bit on day one. The item is fairly easy to unpack and snap together, no issues there. I was very impressed on how light and easy it is to push the vacuum around, apparently they are made much lighter than my 20 - year old that I am replacing! On the LOW carpet setting, the brush stopped turning, but that may have been because the carpet wasn't 'low' enough. On HIGH and MEDIUM, it did great cleaned my living room rugs wonderfully. There is a drive that pulls the machine forward, so there is little effort. I also LOVE that it lays down almost flat to reach under furniture, tables, etc. I used to have to move my table in order to clean underneath it. People have said in the reviews that the cord is too short, I found that not to be an issue, and it is even a bit longer than the cord on my old vac. Also, people have said it is quite loud. I didn't find it all that loud, but again, my reference point is a 20-year old Bissel that may have been loud. The crevice tool is marginal. I say that because as you use the wand, there is still suction coming from the floor until and roller, and I found no way to turn that off so all the suction power comes from the hose and tool. My old one had that, so the crevice tool suction was far stronger. Also, when using the hose and wand/tool, the hose does seem quite short and is hard to extend. In all honestly, I think I'll keep using my old vac for the crevice tool/wand, and use this strictly for floor use. Overall I do enjoy it, and will see how it stands up over multiple uses!

I'm a housekeeper and go through about 1 to 2 vacuums each year. I have always bought Hoover upright bagged vacuums. They are affordable and while they tend to be quite loud & a bit heavy, the suction can't be beat- whether I'm vacuuming carpet or using the 10 foot extension hoses, wands & tools I purchase on ebay for my business.I LOVE the Hoover windtunnel max, however, they unfortunately have stopped making it. So, desperate for another vacuum, I purchased this one because it looked similar to the windtunnel max. Boy what a disappointment this model has turned out to be.In my haste, I neglected to check reviews, and features. I agree with the review about the carpeting- That is about the only great thing this vacuum does. And it is my experience nowadays that most people- if they have carpeting, it is just a few simple area rugs, so vacuuming carpeting well is not my number 1 priority when it comes to vacuum performance.So, I need a vacuum that has outstanding suction performance when it comes to using extension hoses and wands and dusting attachments.....which this does NOT. (I buy bags in bulk and change them after every house so there's never a question as to the bag being too full). The cord on this (25 feet) is also shorter than the wind tunnel max (30 feet). While that might not be important to some people, for a housekeeper, the longer the cord, the quicker we can clean an entire house- because you don't have to keep stopping to go reposition the vacuum or move it from room to room, to different outlets.In addition to the poor suction, the vacuum itself is bigger, bulkier, heavier and does not feel as ergonomic. The noise on this one has a higher pitch which makes it seem louder than other models- definitelya negative. There is NO OFF lever for the beater bar for vacuuming hard floors or using the tools, also a YUGE negative.Today I went over a hallway that had some debris (grass & dirt tracked in from the outdoors) 4 times and it just wouldn't suck it all up. This is SOOOOO frustrating!!I guess its time to switch brands, so long Hoover. And Hoover, if you happen upon this review, PLEASE! IF IT AINT BROKE, DONT "NEW & IMPROVE IT" OR, STOP MANUFACTURING IT!!!Sincerely, the frustrated housekeeper.

Bagged vacuum cleaners are awesome! The don't make a huge mess when you need to empty them. This unit has a very good suction, easy to assemble, light and priced appropriately. It is a good basic product that does the job very well. Its not fancy, its not hip, its not state of the art - it is proven technology that works and that is what we needed.
