Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)First, this is a much better vacuum than a Eureka that I'd paid more than twice as much for five years ago, and finally gave away because it was so loud that it hurt my ears. The Hoover has very good suction, easy carpet adjustment, and is quite light and easy to maneuver.
The good news:
--very good power
--easy to clean filters
--clever rotary-brush gizmo that attaches to the auxiliary hose and is self-powered by the flow of vacuum air (similar principle to a turbo on a car) and is very handy for cleaning carpet on stairs
--reasonably quiet, includes soft brush and crevice tool
The bad news:
--mine came with the hose clip broken, and I couldn't be bothered to return it.
--too many switches, including "hush" setting (very little difference) and "power boost" (ditto)
--for some ergonomic reason that I haven't fully analyzed, it's very easy to spill the dust bucket when you're removing it, but then you get the hang of it.
--if you ever have to replace the belt, you have to remove about eight screws and then make sure various little plastic pieces line up when you put it back together, or you have to take it apart again to do it right (not that such a thing would ever happen to me, of course)
--most seriously, the auxiliary hose and wand extension is WAY too short for cleaning the typical eight-foot ceiling. I can reach (barely) because I'm 6'2", but the proverbial "average" person might have trouble. I'm sure you could buy an extension wand, but it would probably cost more than the vacuum.
However, if all you want is a competent vacuum at a cheap price, this is a pretty good unit.
