Hoover Reviews

We purchased these bags for the first time in May 2001. I installed a bag and thought it worked OK. (I did not throw the former bags, not Hoover bags, out.) The next time the bag needed changing the lady who cleans the house (unbeknown to us) installed the bag we had been using previously. My wife who is very sensitive to house dust recognized the difference. After a very short time my wife said she could smell the dust when the vacuum cleaner was in use. I changed the bag in our vacuum back to a Hoover bag and the probem was cured. While not very scientific, it convinced us. I have thrown the other bags away.
Additional Comment:
Because of the small particles that are trapped in the bag, I take the vacuum outside to remove the filled bag. This prevents these particles from escaping back into the air in the house.

I cannot say enough about this vacuum cleaner. It picks up dirt great. It runs wonderful. I had a self-propelled Hoover vacuum cleaner for about 10 years before this one. It quit on me and I thought I would order this one for the upstairs and get another one later for the down stairs. I am going to keep this one for the down stairs. I was afraid that this would require some really hard pushing since I was used to a self-propelled but I was surprised it was so easy to work with. It is wonderful! I would recommend this to anyone, actually I already have to my 75 year old mother. This is something she would not have any problem with. The only con I found was the short cord. It has a 20 foot cord where my old one had a 31 foot cord, but I can either switch outlets or put a small extension cord on it. It is GREAT!!!

This is one of the better vacuum cleaners I have bought, did not expect it to have the self propelltion, it works great!

I think this product is good. It serves it's purpose and lasts a long time.

THIS BAG WILL CUT DOWN ON YOUR HOUSEWORK, SNEEZING AND ASTHMA ATTACKS (IF APPLICABLE.)IT DOES THIS BY CONTAINING THE MATERIAL THAT THE VACUUM PICKS UP INSTEAD OF BLOWING THE FINER PARTICLES AROUND YOUR HOUSE. THIS MATERIAL CAN BE DUST, DIRT, POLLEN, PET HAIR, FLEAS, TICKS, DUSTMITES AND THEIR SKIN AND FECES. SOUNDS GROSS I KNOW. THESE BAGS COMBINED WITH A GOOD QUALITY AIR FILTER ON THE A/C FURNACE HAS REDUCED DUSTING TO A MINIMUN. IT STILL COLLECTS AROUND THE TELEVISION! BE CAREFUL MANY ARE SELLING NON-HOOVER BRANDS AS HOOVER. MANY ARE JUST AS GOOD BUT THEY SHOULD BE SOLD AT A DISCOUNTED PRICE

I've had this vacuum for the past 3 1/2 years, and it has workd without any issues (just one belt change needed). It's light weight... great for taking up and down stairs. But in the past few months, noticed that it only performs well when a new bag is inserted... subsequent cleanings just don't have enough suction. The hose is a little short for many jobs, but has lots of suction.

A powerful vacuum for the price. Very easy to assemble and fairly lightweight. The only complaint I have is that the vacuum is extremely loud, especially if you're using it on hard wood floors. I feel a bit sorry for my neighbors that live below me! Good buy otherwise.

Excellent machine, perfect for my use. Had the more expensive upright Hoover, bagless with HEPA filtration etc, PowerMax, but like this one alot better. Don't have to clean 3 filters and empty cup. Just have to throw the bag out! Great convenience. Great suction even with tools which I WILL use! HAVE LONG HAIRED DOGS! Very easy to assemble, Excellent fast shipping via Amazon. This was my first Amazon purchase! HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO PPL WANTING SOMETHING SIMPLE THAT WORKS GREAT!

I bought this vacuum 3 months ago & so far Im satisfied with its cleaning power & powerful suction, it is noisy & a little heavy to lift but worth its price...

The Good: Does a very good job of cleaning my carpets and rug. I've had similarily priced Eureka and Red Devil uprights that did not do as thorough a job. Also, both of those brands fell apart after a few months. Comes with several hose attatchments, and (for me) it's pretty lightweight.

The Bad: you need to assemble it and there's a flaw in the instructions in my opinion. The last step they have you do is to break off the on/off plastic lock but it's hard to do after everything is locked in and put together. I had to take everything apart, break the piece off, and then reassemble. This uses filter bags that you'll beed to stock up on. This isn't a super-heavy duty vacuum. It's a lightweight plastic model (but I live in an apartment and it's plenty for me).

For this style and price range, this is my recommendation over similar Eureka and Red Devil brand vacuums.

Powerful suction and complete accessories. The only drawback is it is too noisy...But for this price, it is a good vacuum...

my mom is a clean freak and she is 53 she hates this one she says its bad becase it does not clean that well and it is a mess to empety.

This was the first appliance I have ever ordered online and I was able to put it together myself from the directions. I am not very mechanical, so this worked well for me. The product is very easy to use and it's lightweight. I'm very satisfied with it.

Works great and well built. Highly recommend it. Was easy to put together, nice and light.
