Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I needed a vacuum cleaner that needed to have good suction and above all portability. I knew that if the vacuum cleaner was heavy and bulky - like those floor models, my chances of lugging it around at the end of a hard work day would be very rare. So portability was my first concern.
The Hoover telios was my obvious choice for that reason. I paid $89.99 + tax for it.
It was cheesy red in color and like all other vacuum cleaners, its plasticky look was not appealing. But there were features here that seemed interesting. First it has a storage compartment in the front for brushes, etc for spot cleaning, etc. Then a hose connects to the front and that is connected to a metal wand. At the end of the metal wand is the floor attachment.
It has a bag for storing the trash it sucks up. I think those bags will increase the operating cost of the vacuum. I dont know for sure, never purchased vacuum cleaner bags before.
Operation: The vacuum cleaner has moderate suction power. I honestly think if it was a bit more, it would be better, since some times I do find fine ash particles still in the carpet fibers even after running the vacuum cleaner over the particular spot several times. But its not weak. A lady had written she considered a vacuum to have good suction if it could suck a penny up. This vacuum cleaner does that.
The problem with this model is that its metal wand keeps popping off the hose! And that is super irritating!! I got tired of having to bend down and reattach the bloody thing. The people at hoover dont have a good design sense... the metal wand is just pushed in to the hose... there is no threading or locking mechanism. So I did what was my only recourse... I got a bloody glue gun and hot glued the metal wand to the hose for good. This pretty much means I cannot use this infernal machine for anything other than floor cleaning... no way to attach those fancy brushes in the front compartment.
I am not happy with it. I wish there was a better option in canister vacuums.
Dont buy it unless you absolutely have to!
Addendum: After about 3 months of using this machine, I have already purchased a hand-held vaccum cleaner and a dyson animal. this one is in the loft gathering dust. It had low suction power, bad engineering design, and significant cost of operation (the bags), just not a winning combination.
Dont buy it. Period!
