Pros: Bristle shut off for hardwoods Cons: Terrible filter design, poor suction, cheap switches The Bottom Line: I would stick with a filter free, bagged vacuum over this terrible bagless HEPA design. from Shopping.com Pros: Relatively quiet Long cord Cons: Not sturdy Hepa filter expensive Heavy Power head on cleaning attachments is not powerful The Bottom Line: Although the Hoover brand is generally trustworthy, this is not a sturdy enough vacuum for even moderate daily use. from Shopping.com Just a note:I paid around $70 for this exact vacuum BRAND NEW through Amazon on a blow out/clearance sale in early '07 so you would think I couldn't go wrong......well, I couldn't have been MORE wrong. I knew what I was getting into as far as the drawbacks of a bagless but I gave it a shot & even at that price I have HUGE regrets. Out of the box & on first use I noticed the PowerBrush attachment barely spins(I mean BARELY..it was laughable). from Amazon.com I bought this vacuum after reading the negative reviews and discovered its a wonderful vacuum! The negative reviews look to me like from people who dont empty like they should or who arent used to bagless vacuums. I have 4 cats and this vacuum is WONDERFUL! from Amazon.com Sure you could pay over three times as much for a Dyson and get bascially the same thing, but who wants to do that?!?! It's built extremely well for it's price-point, strong suction, great filtration, great warranty. For those that are worried about bagless canisters being dirty... empty them outside or in the garage. from Amazon.com This vac has some serious suction, which is wonderful for my needs (4 inside cats leave a lot of hair). Yes, it is heavy. That's a good tradoff for finally being able to suck up all the hair on the carpet in 2 passes. Yes, it must be emptied outdoors, straight into the garbage can. from Amazon.com The suction was so bad that after EVERY room I had to empty what little dirt was in the canister just to get back some suction. I hated it! Not only that but the bagless was a pain! I had to go outside everytime to empty the dang thing because it was so messy! from Amazon.com I do not know about other reviewers, but I am happy with my purchase. The suction power is great and cleaning the bag is just as filthy as other bagless vacuum I have owned. It is just something you have to live with when you own a bagless vacuum. from Amazon.com Started out GREAT, picked up everything - a couple of months later, and with DAILY cleanings of filters, the self propelling stopped, and the suction faded. Also, the vacuum burned my large throw rug in 3 places -I'm guessing it got to hot. from Amazon.com I always had high regards for Hoover, but this vac has been a complete disappointment. As most others have said, it's a mess. from Amazon.com
