Hoover Reviews

Pros:
- Looks fantastic.
- High quality design with lots of cool touches (e.g., retractable extension cord)
- Very easy to assemble. Everything just snaps in.
- It's bagless. Very easy to maintain and clean.
- Very quiet for a vacuum.
- Continuously variable power level.
- Cool carpet mode.
- Sucks well.
- HEPA (High Efficiency Particle Air) filter traps dirt, pollen, etc. for cleaner air.

Cons:
- It's a bit expensive.
- A bit heavy overall.

Hoover's S3755 vacuum is designed for two kinds of crowd: (1) those looking for high quality and easy to use vacuum and (2) those that hate vacuuming. I hate vacuuming. My fiancé nags me every week to vacuum, and I complain how the vacuum (Dirt Devil's upright model) does not suck well and that it's noisy, heavy, and too cumbersome to clean it up afterward. She got me Hoover's S3755 as a compromise. What a cool vacuum!

I feel like a kid for saying this, but when I vacuum with Hoover, I feel like playing with a toy. And I mean that in a good way. Finished in combination of metal and high quality plastic and painted in metallic silver, it resembles Volkswagen's New Beetle. Since it is a canister design (I rather call it an elephant design), the nozzle portion is very light and more flexible. It can easily travel where upright vacuums cannot.

When I first took it out from the box, I felt like a child opening a Christmas present. Everything just snaps in like a Lego, with a satisfying click. Once assembled, I powered it up and wow, it is QUIET! Slide the power level (which slides very smoothly) and it increasingly whirs louder and sucks in with greater force. Hitting the carpet button activates the motor - it rolls forward automatically. So cool!

Of course, none of this matters if it does not suck well. And I can say it sucks very well. In no time, the place became much cleaner. This Hoover model is equipped with HEPA filter, which is great for those with allergy. I can't wait to go home and vacuum some more.

I love these vacuum bags because of the electrostatic liner that catches the smallest particles yet does not require a seperate HEPA filter like most others (which incidentally is ususally an extra item you have to buy and is sometimes hard to find). With this filter you do not get the cloud of dust in the room that others I have used leave behind which is very annoying and leaves you wondering why you vacuumed in the first palce. The fliter is easy to get to and change. Though not HEPA rated this filter IS the next best thing and a LOT LESS trouble and expense. If you are buying the Hoover Canister vacuum machine I suggest buying a couple of packs of these bags along with the machine.

I HAVE SEVERAL ALLERGIES WHICH INCLUDE HOUSE DUST, DUST MITES, AND CAT DANDER. I HAVE TRIED OTHER NAME BRAND VACUUMS WITH THEIR ALLERGEN BAGS AND/OR FILTERS. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO MY OWN VACUUMING OR EVEN BE IN THE SAME ROOM WHILE SOMEONE ELSE WAS VACUUMING, WITHOUT HAVING AN ALLERGY ATTACK, UNTIL I TRIED USING HOOVER TYPE S ALLERGEN VACUUM BAGS. THEY WORK GREAT! EVEN MY DAUGHTER, WITH ALL HER ALLERGIES, WILL ASK IF SHE CAN DO THE VACUUMING FOR ME.

These bags are better than the Sears brand type. They are also 20% cheaper too. I don't notice the dusty smell anymore. I guess the filtration must be better.

I bought this air purifier when Jenn-Air had the license. I had the run-around when it broke down almost two years after I bought it. The servicing was by a company called ClareVale (sp?)and they had no intention of helping me. Luckily I bought from a great store in NYC and they replaced it so I bought another one to have two total. When I needed more collection sheets two years later (each lasts one month), I couldn't find them anywhere and the units weren't sold at the store anymore. Now I understand why I couldn't find collection sheets this past year, the license was being switched to a different company! Thank god I held onto the purifier. Unfortunately Amazon isn't selling extra sheets but I found them somewhere else online ...
The quality of this purifier is excellent! I do however strongly caution anyone who uses it to keep it at a minimum of one foot from any wall or anything else because it will leave a black ring around the unit and could possibly ruin a nice paint job or good wallpaper since it does not come off easily. (I have an air conditioning unit that will never be the same).
I highly recommend this machine for its quality and huge difference it made on my breathing, but I cannot give it 5 stars because of all the hassle I had with it. Since this is a new company (Hoover), maybe there will be an improvement in service and maybe bring some stability, but the collection sheets are too expensive now.
ps Be careful to keep the dial on the correct strength for the room size, if it is too high you will get a distinct "ozone" smell.

For years now, I have become congested and have had difficulty breathing every time I go to bed. I have tried every kind of allergy medication, prescription nasal sprays etc. I even recently had nasal surgery to help the problem. But nothing really helped UNTIL I purchased the Hoover SA4000 Air Purifier. Now, when I wake each morning, I am completely UNgongested and breathe very clearly. Additionally, I now enjoy better nights' sleep and lack the sinus headache that I commonly had before I purchased the air purifier. It is everything that Hoover advertises and I like the idea of replacing the collection sheets (which the Hoover uses)rather than just wiping a collection plate clean as one would do with the more expensive Sharper Image air purifier. Since the collection sheets even collect bacteria, the idea of throwing it away is a lot more appealing than that of wiping a collection plate clean and possibly leaving some yukky contaminates behind. After years of congestion, difficulty breathing, and tons of money spent on allergy medicines, treatments, and even surgery, I can finally and literally breath easier. Go get one or two now!
