Product Reviews

Amazon.com Review
With allergen filtration and dirt-finding capability, Hoover offers this self-propelled bagless upright vacuum. The 12-amp vacuum employs wind tunnel technology to suck deep-rooted dirt from hardwood floors and carpet alike, while stripping away dust mites, ragweed, and most grass pollen in the area air.

To ensure a clean carpet, the 15-inch wide vacuum head features a helpful headlight to illuminate soiled patches. The installed DirtFinder function assures the elimination of unseen debris, notifying users of a surface's thorough clean with a green light. The two air streams of the cleaner's wind tunnel technology succeed in cleaning the plushest carpet assisted by dual brush agitation. A custom control switch permits users to shift settings for various floor surfaces. The bagless system collects debris in sealed dual chambers, which are easily removed and emptied. The Teflon-coated HEPA filter eradicates impurities from the air. For adequate air filtration, the HEPA filter should be replaced every three years. Users tend to dirty stairs and odd-angled upholstery with a powerful hand tool. The vacuum also supplies edge grooming for baseboards. A detachable handle allows compact storage. Additional tools and accessories include two extension wands, dusting brush, upholstery nozzle, extra 20-foot hose, and hard floor brush and are stored on board for quick access. Brushes in the vacuum head cease rotating while accessories are in use to conserve energy. The power cord spans 31 feet in distance and is self-propelled in both forward and reverse motion, engaged by an action grip. Hoover offers a one-year warranty for parts and labor and will replace vacuum belts as needed for the lifetime of the appliance. The vacuum measures 40 by 16 by 10 inches and weighs 30 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling


DO NOT BUY ANY SELF PROPELLED HOOVER VACUUMS
HOOVER HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE BELTS STRETCHING OUT ON ALL THE SELF PROPELLED VACUUMS, BUT WILL DO NOTHING FOR CUSTOMERS STUCK WITH THEM! WE MUST REPLACE THE DRIVE AND PROPEL BELTS EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS. REDICULOUS POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE

Do NOT buy this vacuum, or any vacuum from Hoover
I have never written an online review, but I am compelled to write one now. I purchased this vacuum 4 months ago. Since then, it has broken 3 times with only light use (about twice a month), and I have had to drive it 30 minutes to the nearest Hoover service center, then go back a few days later to pick it up. The third time it broke I called Hoover to find out how I could go about replacing or exchanging it. They told me "that's what the warranty is for," and said they would not take responsibility for replacing it. So I am stuck with it. Based on this experience, I would caution anyone to think twice about purchasing a Hoover. I certainly will never buy from them again.

This vacuum sucks--actually, it doesn't
I've gone through several of this model. Where does one begin? This vaccum initially works well, but loses suction as soon as dirt accumulates in the canister. The attachments are a joke. No matter how securely you attach them, they fall off soon after you begin to use them. That cute little attachement with the brush bar? All for looks. The brush bar quites turning the minute it gets dirty. You can plan to have the brush bar motor replaced after a couple of months. As someone noted previously, the belts stretch and the motor burns up. And heaven help you if you try to work with Hoover's appallingly bad "customer service." Hoover has put its money into making their product look appealing, but function very poorly indeed. I will never buy another Hoover. If your looking for a DISPOSABLE vacuum cleaner, then this is the model for you!
