Hoover Reviews

I guess I was a little hesitant on reviewing about vacuum bags, but these are pretty good.

Though I know it may not be necessary for those without a Hoover Upright vacuum cleaner, and that they must be bought for a Hoover user, these are still good bags. If you are thinking of buying a vacuum cleaner, you should consider not only the power and quality of its cleaning power, but how easy it is to clean it's container or change its bags. And Hoover makes changing bags easy, plus the bags are quite strong. Did you ever see those garbage bag commercials where they test bags by rolling them down a hill? Well, these bags are stronger.

A great dirt bag shouldn't be a reason to buy the Hoover Vacuum, which is a great vacuum by the way, but it should be one of the considerations you make.

Bought based on online reviews. Previously owned a Eureka Boss. it worked great, but my son moved and needed a vacuum so I gave him our Eureka. This Hoover was great disappointment! It's noisier than a motorcycle rally. It's hard to push on any but the deepest pile setting, and the attachment caddy makes the cleaner heavy, awkward and hard to move around. I am returning it as I write this review and will reorder the Eureka Boss 4463AV.

I absolutely HATED my old Eureka (which I paid a lot more for). I decided that this time I'd pay less and if it fell apart - oh, well. I was pleasantly surprised with this vacuum. Assembly wasn't difficult and it's fairly light, especially without the tool rack on. It works great for cleaning stairs and because it doesn't have a wide path it's easy to get into tighter places. The best part about this vacuum is it DOES have good suction. Not a lot of bells & whistles, but adequate tools to do most types of cleaning. The one serious "con" is that the hose is pretty short. I've had this vacuum for about 5 months and so far I think it's an excellent value for the low price.

This would be my 3rd hoover of this type of model and price range.I just bought this one to replace my "roundabout" model that I have been using for 3 years. When I only pay 50-80 dollars for a vacuum, if I get 2-3 years out of it I'm very happy, it's what I expect to get. I use this daily and it gets a workout cleaning in the house and doing the cars. I have been satisfied with the performance. Suction is great, lightweight (important since I have stairs) not an overabundance of attachments that I don't use, and the fact that they are onboard, so I will use them more readily. I use to own a Kirby, anyone who had/has one knows that you don't always feel like taking the head off to clean with the attachments (most I have never used) on a daily basis, not to mention the weight of it alone. I never bought another Kirby again, in fact my Kirby was still working when I decided I had enough of it and decided to get a lighter and more practical vacuum. I went with the Hoover "Roundabout" models. I have never been dissapointed since. I felt that they cleaned better than my Kirby ever did.
What also makes my decision is the compact "feel of it" ,some vacuums are very bulky and ackward, can hardly see the floor in front of you, this Hoover is very easy to use!!

This worked great at first. Then one day, after I applied carpet powder all over my apartment, it just stopped sucking! I am so incredibly disgusted that I won't buy another Hoover again.

The vacuum worked great for the first month. I have one long hair cat (who is brushed twice a day and doesn't shed much), no kids, 4 air purifiers, continually clean the air filter from the furnace, and I live in a condo...with no major heavy vacuuming jobs. So...*hypothetically* I have a home that any vacuum should be able to handle for the long haul/a few years...right? NOPE! After one month this thing could barely pick up typical dust bunnies/fuzzies on the carpet.This sucker broke a belt within 3 or 4 months of normal once a week usage. And after replacing that belt properly per their instructions...another belt from inside the motor (that is not easily accessible for fixing yourself) got off of whatever track it was on and began to melt on the peg that holds the agitator belt in place. It would be cheaper to buy another vacuum than replace that. I am utterly disappointed and angered at how poorly made this vacuum is. To top it off the belts are not easily found since everywhere is sold out!!! The vacuum also doesn't work well and overheats when you use the attachments to clean. And the hose isn't long enough to effectively vacuum UNDER anything with the attachments (the vacuum kept falling over on me...yikes! This vacuum is a big scam! AVOID it at all costs.

I've had the displeasure of owning this vacuum for 2 years, and in that time I've spent more time vacuuming with a dustbuster than this. It gets nothing out of carpet; barely even disrupts the carpet fibers. Thankfully the motor burned out after 2 years, which I take as a blessing. Don't buy this vacuum unless it's a gag gift.
