Hoover F5505 SteamVac Spot Carpet Cleaner


This item is an absolute necessity for pets. It is the perfect size for quickly and easily cleaning up little spills. I am very impressed with a machine in the "spot" category having upscale features like revolving brushes and heated cleaning. I purchased mine for $79.99 from Amazon. I'm not sure if prices fluctuate, as it is over $120.00 today. Regardless, it is an excellent performer and takes up a fraction of the space that larger machines take up. Another great Hoover product.

Hoover U8361-900 Windtunnel 2 Surface Command Bagless Upright Vacuum


This vacuum is junk. In the trash can after only a year and a couple of months. Broken belts, clogged filters, noisy and now, the motor is gone. Save your money.

Hoover Savvy U8174-900 Bagless Upright Vacuum


We purchased this over a year ago on sale fortunately. While it worked well for awhile it is now a useless lump of plastic and metal. On the back is an access panel which lets you rescue things that have been sucked up inadvertently, great idea you would think. However I have had to use this twice in the past year and now after the second time it wont suck. That is because the self tapping screws supplied have stripped the plastic and that panel will no longer stay tight, so the vacuum just sucks from around those edges. We did not have any problem with the belt snapping though.

It is a shame because it has some good features, which worked well on both hard floors and carpet.

Remanufactured Hoover U64019RM WindTunnel Self-Propelled Bagged Upright, Color May Vary


For the price, works great.

Buy a bag of extra belts, when they are "glazed", the machine is hard to move. Put a new one in every year, even if it works ok.
Go out on eBay and buy a case of bags, because they do not hold much.
Buy extra rocker switches for the power on/off because they do not last long. Very easy to replace - no soldering or wire nuts required. Remove 6 screws for access.

The unit is light & easy to operate otherwise. Nice that you do not get dust in your face when operating :-)

Hoover Flair Bagless Quick Broom - S2200


I thank Hoover for making this broom vac. It's easy to use, easy to clean and does an excellent job picking up fur from my three cats!!!
Consumer Reports rates it as #1 and I join them in their assessment.
The only problem is that it does not always vacuum right next to the walls and baseboards. An unvacuumed strip about 1/2 inch wide sometimes remains.

Hoover S2105 Slider Bagless Rechargeable-Broom Vacuum Cleaner




This Hoover broom is great for quick pick ups on tile and wood floors. Also great on carpeting. The swivel head lets you get around objects easily. Works great on stairs. Had a Shark for our staircase, but bending over to use it was such a pain in the back! Literally!! My husband and I just have to say we LOVE this product. No longer have to pull out our big vac for little jobs.

Hoover F7425-900 SteamVac Dual V with SpinScrub Hand Tool


We really liked this product, and thought it cleaned well, until the clean water chamber started to break in several places due to the plastic being too thin and flimsy. For that alone I would not recommend it.

Hoover U5175-900 Fold Away Widepath Bagless Upright


It vacuums sure but how hard is it to do that?

The dirt cup, it could hardly be called a canister, is messy with a open hole on the bottom! that leaves a nice lil dirt path from the vacuum to the garbage can you go to empty it in. Presumably so you can find your back to the vacuum cleaner. So I guess it more like a feature huh.

The filter is a mess, hard to keep clear, very messy to clean.

HOOVER HEPA FILTER BAGLESS WASHABLE 43611-042, #40140201


Asked Go Vacuums and this filter is not any different from the non-washable. They said that Amazon controls the description and they cannot change it.

Filter can be washed without ruin, but taking a stiff nylon brush to it outside seems to work better.

Hoover F7427900 SteamVac Dual V TurboPower Carpet Cleaner


When I received this product I put it together and filled the tanks to use it on our family room carpet. After I was finished with the area I noticed that the water wasn't dispensing just the soap. I read the troubleshooting and as I looked closely at the SteamVac I noticed a broken part under the water tank. This part dispenses the water. I contacted the vendor and returned it for credit.

HOOVER S2105 BrushVac Slider Rechargeable Broom Vacuum Cleaner


This is a great lightweight "electric broom" for small clean-ups on hard floors.
We have 2 dogs and keeping up with the hair is a constant effort.
This brushvac handles this clean-up and the normal day to day dirt/debris that's tracked in very well. You just have to empty the "trash" cup frequently.
We use it everyday and so far it has performed very well.
My mother liked it so well while visiting she is going to purchase one.

Hoover U8188900 Windtunnel Anniversary Bagged/Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner


This has got to be the worst vacuum I have ever owned. It started out nice but within a month, half of the passages were clogged with lint, this vacuum does not have the strength to pick up dirt, it just fills the inner working of the thing until it doesn't work. I have had to pull the thing apart every two months to clean it out. This is the only way to keep it working properly; I would not recommend any hover vacuum. This is a complete waste of your money

Hoover U5262-910 EmPower Bagless Upright Vacuum


This vacuum does an excellent job at cleaning carpets at all carpet heights. The headlight on the front really helps in the dark corners. This vacuum also does an excellent job on my bare floors. The hose attachment has really good suction which I am totally impressed with. The only feature I do not like about the vacuum is cleaning the filter. I suppose one could chose not to clean it but then you would have to buy a new filter more often. All-in-all this vacuum was an excellent buy.

Hoover 4010806S Replacement Type S Hepa Bag ( 2 Pack )


When I used my Hoover S3345 to clean up after sanding a sheetrock wall, the dust filter below the bag got clogged before the bag was full, and I was surprised to find that - in contrast to the first replacement bag that came with the S3345 - the bags in this package do not include new dust filters. Make sure to order dust filters separately if you are planning to use your vacuum cleaner for projects with a lot of fine dust.

Dyson DC25 Ball All-Floors Upright Vacuum Cleaner


This is the best vacuum you can get. I love that it's bagless, you can see what you are vacumming up, super easy to clean (just release the tube with the push of a button, hold over a trashcan, press a button and all the stuff dumps right out), and the swivel action is awesome. It has great suction and you can use it on carpet and hard floors. I hate cleaning so I don't mind spending a little extra on products that make it easier and go faster for me. This is a wonderful product.

Eureka 4870GZ Boss Smart-Vac Upright Vacuum


Very good design, great suction, self propelled, does an excellent job on carpeting. I would gladly pay more for the same vacuum made of more durable materials. It is, of course, made in China of flimsy plastic. Having tried several other vacuums over the last two years, the 4870 is a terrific improvement. Nothing else lasted even a year and nothing else cleaned so well. This is so easy to use and does such a good job that I vacuum every day. Pet hair, dust, ashes, etc all cleaned up in short order. Just pull it out, whiz it around and everything looks great. 30 ft cord is very helpful.

For those who complain about carrying the vacuum up and down stairs, I recommend getting a second one for upstairs. It will double the life of both and give you twice as long for easy cleaning without back problems. Also, the pedal that releases the vacuum into working position pushes toward the left, not back to front as most vacuums. The vacuum bag has to be inserted exactly right or the bag compartment will fill with dirt and the tubes will plug up. (Yes I did this on the first day). Moving from carpeting to bare floors means a full stop to readjust things, but most of my cleaning is carpet or Oriental rugs.

But for heavy duty vacuuming of carpeting, this vacuum is the best.

Hoover S1120 Hand Held Wet/Dry Hand Vacuum Cleaner


This vacuum is the reason I am currently browsing Amazon in search of a great cordless vacuum!

I owned this for about a year when I started noticing that shortly after I turned it on, the power would gradually decrease until it was barely operating. The culprit was a dying battery.

I was informed, however, by my friendly vacuum dealer that the replacement battery for this vacuum costs nearly as much as the entire vacuum. So...my vacuum ended up in the recycling bin.

Besides the short battery life I experienced, I found this vacuum to have an especially irritating design: it has vents on the side of the motor box that blow air out. If you are trying to pick up pet hair from the floor, this can create a real challenge, if not an impossible task. I would have to sneak up on the hair most times to try to avoid the air flow blowing it away.

Hoover Commericial Shoulder Vacuum (Backpack) Cleaner Model # C2401-010, with 1.25" Attachments

Hoover UH50000 TurboPower WindTunnel Anniversary-Edition Self-Propelled Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner with Pet-Hair Tool


after reading many reviews from many different sources we decided to purchase this vacuum. we ended up getting it from costco as it was quite a bit cheaper than on amazon at the time. i have to say that we've been thrilled with this vacuum so far. it does a wonderful job on our carpet leaving no trace of dog hair behind. the dirt sensor is a fun addition although i'm not completely sure what it's thinking sometimes. the self-propel feature is great and works effortlessly with normal vauuming gestures gliding the vacuum along the floor with ease.

we were looking at some dyson vacuums as well but after going to the store and test driving both models the dyson vacuums, although great to look at, seemed heavy and awkward to use most of the time. the hoovers seemed to have a good vacuum feel to them.

the set of attachments is also nice and are very easy to use.

Hoover 40321050 Premium Pet-Formula Carpet/Upholstery Detergent, 48 Ounces


I used this product for the first time. I cleaned three floor rugs today with this product. Two of the rugs had no pet smell lingering, but the last rug, which was the most smelly, still had a strong pet smell after cleaning it. I will probably have to re-do this last rug because of the high use it receives and since the dogs tend to like to sit on it. The deoderant in the formula needs to be stronger since pet smells are so strong. Also the formula could use more brighteners in it since I don't see much of a difference after cleaning the rugs.

Hoover dual V solution tank 90001295 / 42272104


We have been using the Hoover carpet cleaner for years. After the first year we started having problems with the solution tank. Hoover knew a problem existed but was no help at all.I was hesitant in buying a hoover replacement tank just to have the same problem.
This tank is the high quality tank that should have come with the carpet cleaner. If you have a hoover carpet cleaner you be delighted with this repalcement tank. It also costs less then the hoover replacement. What a great deal. Definately 5 stars.

Hoover U5268-970 TurboPower EmPower Upright Vacuum with Powered Hand Tool


NOTHING in this world is PERFECT, and that includes this vacuum cleaner. In a perfect world, nothing would ever get dirty and need to be cleaned. In a next-to-perfect world, I would be able to afford a good cleaning service and never have to vacuum again!

That said, this is, without a doubt, the BEST vacuum cleaner I've ever used. I've use a LOT of vacuum cleaners in my lifetime -- I started vacuuming my mother's floors when I was 5, and I'm now 56. I've used Kirbys (you know the ones: Buy a vacuum cleaner, or buy a car), I've used the much-touted (by the advertisers) and ridiculously expensive Oreck, I've tried the sadly disappointing Robotic Vacuum cleaner.... I can't begin to remember all the names of all the vacuum cleaners I've used, there are just too many, and I've used every type there is, too: canisters, uprights, bagged, bagless, etc.

Simply put, NONE of the other vacuum cleaners I've tried, came close to doing as thorough a cleaning job as this inexpensive Hoover Empower does. It finds dirt you didn't know was there! Also, it seems to almost propel itself across the floor somehow, even though it isn't advertised as self-propelled. That really helps me a lot, because I have an extremely bad back and neck (degenerative disk disease, spondelosis, bone spurs all up and down my spine, numerous herniated disks, and a big painful bony overgrowth in my neck), so I can't handle the strain of pushing most vacuum cleaners. (This is why I've tried so many, including the useless Robotic, and the almost-useless light-weight Oreck... I was trying to save my severely painful back and neck.)

This Hoover Empower vacuum cleaner is light enough that it doesn't kill me to move it from room to room, but sturdy and well-built enough that I don't expect it to fall apart any time soon. I also love the fact that you don't have to constantly be buying replacement bags and filters! My husband is confined to a wheelchair much of the time, and with my painful back, I'm not up to going out shopping for vacuum cleaner supplies very often -- and a vacuum cleaner with a full bag and filthy filter is useless.

The only problem with this vacuum cleaner that I have found, is that it really is a very dirty job to empty it. (It also isn't real easy to empty, IF you don't know what you're doing. PLEASE don't be dumb like we were -- read the instructions on how to empty it! We thought we were too smart to have to read the instructions before emptying, and as a result, we almost broke it, the first time we tried to empty it. So please, read how to do it, first.... it really isn't hard to do, IF you know exactly what you're doing,and are aware of how it must line up on both sides with the groove thing, before you try to push it back in after emptying, or else it will get STUCK FAST halfway in, and that's how we almost broke it, trying to get it UN-stuck! I say "we," because both my husband and I did this, independently of each other, before we read the instructions and compared notes on what to do, and more importantly, what NOT to do, when emptying!)

Now that we know HOW to empty the Hoover Empower properly, that part really is easy, but it is STILL VERY MESSY. I only do it outside in the back yard, with a big trash bag for catching all the dust and filth, and then I still have to brush myself off real good, before going back inside the house.

Despite that one drawback, I still much prefer a bagless, over any bag model. The Hoover Empower definitely cleans our house much more thoroughly than a cleaner with a bag can ever do, and, as I said, we don't often get to the store to buy more bags, and when your vacuum's bag is too full to use, it's useless. (I hate to admit it, but we are also on a super-tight budget now that my husband is on disability, and there have been too many times in the past when we couldn't vacuum and sorely needed to, but we just didn't have the money to buy even a cheap set of bags.)

BOTTOM LINE: No vacuum cleaner is perfect, but this one is the closest to perfect of any of the numerous brands I've tried over the past 50+ years. Overall, it's a lot easier to use than any other cleaner I've had, and, best of all, it gets my floors -- both the hard floors and the carpets -- noticeably cleaner than they've ever been before.

Hoover S3825 Elite Cyclonic Bagless Canister Vacuum Cleaner with Power Nozzle


I paid $[....] for this at a Costco. I've had it for 2 weeks, it overheats everytime that I use it! I've searched every possible place for a clog to be and there isn't one. I called Hoover's hotline they said it's clogged I told them it wasn't and the lady said it was and that's all there was to it.
I will never buy another Hoover or reccomend them to anyone. Thank goodness Costco is going to take mine back and refund the money.
Use your money on a different brand with better customer service!

True Value took two weeks late and never sent the item I really needed, the whole reason for the order in the first place. Never was told why it wasn't sent, it was simply removed from the purchase order. After calling True Value support number they said they have never carried the item and it was an Amazon problem and that Amazon should have sent an email letting me know that. I argued that Amazon would never know they didn't send the item. The phone call confirmed that they didn't send the part and never would but never really resolved anything.
