Hoover's latest canister stands out for its design-savvy looks, not to mention the fact that it cleans with powerful WindTunnel technology. Dirt particles are cleverly ducted away from the spinning agitators to ensure they're captured in the bagless dirt cup and not sent back out onto the carpet. The HEPA filter traps minute allergen particles and conveniently removes for cleaning. Large, soft wheels allow the compact 12-amp vacuum--which looks like it could play a robot extra in Star Wars--to maneuver easily. Best of all, the handgrip features electronic control buttons for power on and off, variable suction (allowing smooth transition from wood floors to area rugs), and agitator action speed for carpets. Tools are easily attached to the telescoping wand, making it a snap to switch from cleaning floors to using drape and upholstery tools. A one-year warranty covers this unique vacuum against defects.

 Plastic Parts Should Last Longer Than 3 Years!!!!!! March 12, 2010
Caroline Engvall (Vermont)
I believe that a vacuum should work well for at least 10 years, like the ones I grew up with. I just had to replace the telescopic wand on my Hoover at $81 for the wand and labor costs on top of that, totalling $112. Hopefully the powerhead will be OK since that replacement cost $125. That is about how much a a whole new model would cost.
This Hoover's plastic parts all cracked and fell apart after only about two years. I put up with it by wrapping cable ties around everything for a year or more until the brush head started to work only intermittently, depending on which way I twistd the wand. I simply can't believe that better plastic would increase the price by that much. Our last vacuum (Kenmore# had the same exact problem and we lived with that one duct taped together for a long time, too, because we couldn't afford a new one.
I am now reserching Mieles and if my repaired vacuum shows even a tiny sign of not working perfectly, I will go out and pay the $500 for the Miele with a smile on my face! Since we spent over $600 in the past 7 or so years on two frustrating American-made models, we might as well spend about the same for one with a 7 year warrenty.
In all fairness, I think that the suction is excellent and it does a great job cleaning #depending, of course, if your plastic has held together...and you hold the wand just so...). I think the motor on this will last quite some time, but that is no good unless you've got the rest of it working!
I have just about lost faith in almost ALL American-made products!
Thanks for reading my rant! :)
 Hoover Quality??? March 8, 2010
shmom42 (SF Bay Area, California United States)
I purchased this vacuum in January of 2009 because of all the good reviews; it is now 14 months later and I'm finding out that considering how much I paid for this Hoover, the quality is terrible. The suction was never really that great and now the controls sometimes don't work. Are Hoovers only good to last a little more than a year (right after the one-year warranty ends)? I liked the idea of a bagless vacuum, but I had to clean it out every other week. I would NOT recommend this product because I think for the money you pay for this vacuum, it should have better suction and last more than 14 months.
Not good for pet hair March 5, 2010
GeoLibGT (Good Thunder, MN)
I bought this based on many of the reviews that said it was great for pet hair. I have two dogs. It is terrible for pet hair.
I am constantly pulling built up hair out of the bristles, unclogging the hose, cleaning out the path from the brush to the hose, etc.
While it does seem to pull dirt, it refuses to actually clean hair off the carpet, and it lays the hair out in a static-y mess on the floor.
 Excellent Value March 5, 2010
J. GILLIGAN (New Paltz, NY)
I've owned this vacuum for over a year, and it still functions perfectly. The suction is great, the filter is washable, and the carpet-beating attachment rivals the Miele of the same size. I have two small dogs, kids and a passion for cleaning (lol). This hoover is up to the task! ***** full stars!
broken soon, only half a year. March 5, 2010
A. Wang (Washington, DC)
I am very satisfied at the first 3 month. Then, the tie is broken, after 6 months, it doesn't work anymore.
