I LOVE Hoover , the suction power , the quality and the affordability of their products are amazing. I have THICK carpet and a cat. I bought the previous model of this vacuum and it lasted over 5 years before I gave it away thinking I could buy something better. While owning it I did have an issue with the vacuum but since it was under warranty , Hoover honored the warranty and I was able to send me a new vacuum days later. Hoovers customer service team is always kind and helpful. I have tried the shark lift away vacuum on my carpet and after it still felt and looked dirty, plus the suction wasn’t very powerful. I then bought a Hoover wind tunnel vacuum with lots of reviews. It felt cheap, the suction power was okay, and it had cord rewind but that was instead of a filter which wasn’t a fair trade in my opinion. And then I saw this model which was a newer version of my 5 year vacuum. I was skeptical because of the reviews but I’m glad I tried it. It is lightweight but not cheap. It’s very easy to use and functional with the swivel base. The suction power is amazing, plus it comes with a lot of attachments which is nice. I did a small area of my carpet and attached photos to show just how much it was able to pick up. For reference I hadn’t vacuumed in a week and before that I had used the shark and other Hoover vacuum. Read more

Similar to the previous Hoover I had for 12 years. It's somewhat inconvenient that you have to turn it off and on with your foot at the bottom; for the older one I pressed a button on top. Tilting it is more complicated here. The vacuum is also not well balanced so you must be careful not to have it fall on you as you use the extensions. But it is powerful and I like the HEPA filtration. Read more
WOW! This vacuum lifts embedded dirt, allergens, effectively in one pass. It was definitely worth the buy. Read more
Within less than a year, have had to replace the belt 5 times, and most of the time I've owned it, it's been sitting due to not being able to use it. The belt mechanics has a malfunction or something and the last two belts have ripped within seconds of it being turned on. Further, when i have been able to use it, while operating the hose attachment, the belt continues to spin on the floor. Which has caused it to eat through its power cord more than once when it's accidently rolled too close while I was using the hose. Suction is great and swivel is good when it works. But the amount of times I've had to take it apart to replace belts, unclog the filter/hoses, and tape the power cord...it's not worth the hassle. Can get a better product for the same price. Unfortunately i think I'm just outside the warranty window. If i knew the problems would reoccur so much, i would have sent for a replacement after the first belt broke in the 2d month. Read more
it was easier than the one that I put together the other hover vacuum cleaner Read more
This vacuum is advertised as a hard floor cleaner as well as carpet. There is, in fact, a dial selector on the vacuum head for hard floor, however, the brush roll remains on with hard floor selected on the dial. There is no switch that controls the brush roll on this unit, so it is always on. I tried using this model on laminate flooring, and the brush roll is a hinderance as it scatters any debris across the floor. On a positive note, the vacuum did work well on area carpets. Read more
I clean for a living. I've used many vacuum types. I liked the Dyson ball. With the Dyson switching from vacuuming the floors to using the attachments was easy breezy. This vacuum is easy breezy too, but a lot less expensive on the wallet. The head doesn't swivel quite like the Dyson, but it does some. When removing the hose to use the on board attachments it is so easy to replace it back into the vacuum because the hose is soooo flexible. Some vacuums have stiff hoses making it a chore to attach it back after using the attachments. I like that there aren't bags to replace. Just empty the canister. The canister can hold a lot of debris and it's clear. When you need to give it good cleaning it's easy because you can see exactly where all the dusty dirt is. I suggest getting a set of long handled brushes of various sized brush heads. Larger heads can clean the sides inside of the canister. Smaller can get into the tighter places. I love this vacuum. It's so user friendly.... Read more
