Product Reviews

Amazon.com Review
Is that old vacuum stirring up embedded debris only to leave it on the surface for you to suck up with the hose? As with all vacuuming difficulties, Hoover is savvy to this issue. That's why they designed the Savvy SurePass system, a system that thoroughly cleans carpets with a powerful combination of dual agitators-each with separate air paths that suck debris up without thinking twice. And, Hoover's Custom Control Switch lets you move from carpet to bare floors with just the flick of a switch. A low profile hood lets you clean all those tight, hard-to-reach places and under furniture. The hand tool is equipped with a rotating brush for optimal efficiency. Hoover's Bagless allergen filtration system with HEPA Filter removes pollens and allergens for cleaner breathing and healthier lungs. Best of all, the embedded-dirt-finder's red indicator light lets you know that it's still sucking up dirt. When the light turns green, the carpet is clean. Your purchase is covered by a Hoover 1-year warranty. --Brian Olson

Works great, can't beat the price!
Searched online reviews, read Consumer Report, went and looked at bunch of uprights and decided to try this one. It has great suction and YOU get to decide if you want to go bagless or not. We're using it without the bag and it is amazing the amount of dirt it is picking up (even after we had just vacuumed with an expensive Miehle). I thought the clean LED (red when dirty, green when clean) was a gimmick but it actually works well. Has a "lifetime belt" so supposedly won't ever have to replace it. Very happy with with the vac and for less than $200 I can afford another one in a few years vs. a Dyson, for example. (I have one wish that the manufacturers would incorporate the retractable power cords in uprights that they have on the cannister vacs.)

ADDED: 8 months later...been through 3 "lifetime" belts and the power switch is starting to go. Shouldn't have been so quick with my 5 stars!!!!

One month is a "lifetime"
Great vacuum cleaner, but I knew their claim on a"lifetime" belt was too good to be true. After using it for 4 Saturdays, the agitator got tangled in the fringe at the edge of an area rug. By the time it was turned off, the "lifetime" geared belt was stripped.

this vac is BAD
I would not spend a dime on anything from hoover. I have had this vac for 13 months and it is DEAD. Out of warrenty so I am out of luck. Don;t waste your time on this junk!!!
