Hoover Z400 Vacuum


... We bought this vacuum about 2 years ago and rarely use it. The vacuum is way too heavy...and we're in relatively good shape. You will never want to carry it up or down stairs.

As of today, the vacuum stopped sucking things up...so now I have a heavy vacuum that doesn't work. I would not recommend this vacuum.

Hoover Savvy U8181-900 Bagged/Bagless Combo Upright Vacuum


... Ok, here it is. This vacuum 'sucks' hard when it works. BUT... I bought this vacuum in '05 and 3 months later the green, red lights that tell you the if carpets clean or not, burned out. Disappointing at first, but it still sucked like a champ, so I didn't mind.

I have 2 cats, a dog, a couple of ferrets, and people running all over the place around here. This vacuum sucked up EVERYTHING I had to offer it, and more. The carpet even fluffed up after I was done. I was VERY happy with it. YES, It was a killer vacuum, -- at first...! But again, a few months after the lights burned out, the mechanism that enhances the easy push motion broke! That was when I realized how much in shape you have to be to push a vacuum... Thank God, it still 'sucked' hard, though! By now, I was starting to reconsider this piece. I was getting used to the regular push too.

The tubes would get clogged up every once in a while, so I'd have to turn the vacuum upside down and unscrew everything. After I'd pull off all the plastic parts and pull the roller out, I'd stick a screwdriver up in there and unclog the arteries, so to speak. Then it would work fine again. Do that outside, because dirt and dust will get everywhere! ..oh, that happened about 10 times through its life span. ...That was fun..! (yeah right)

The hose worked good, and it' got all the attachments connected to the vacuum too, which is very nice. But, whenever you'd take it off, dirt and dust would fall out all over the place.. But hey, you have a vacuum right in front of you, right?! Oh, and the cord is looooong too. ..That's pretty cool.

About a year later, something weird started happening. Whenever I would lightly bump into a wall or furniture, the rollers would shut off! I'd have to fiddle with the switch on the handle to turn them back on. Then I'd hit something again, and they'd shut off! Fiddle with the switch, then shut off. Fiddle, off. fiddle, off. etc, etc... Arrg!!

The handle has a switch from off, to floor, to carpet modes. ..Convenient huh. Well, the mechanism wasn't registering that the switch was fully engaged in carpet mode, so It kept flipping back to floor mode when it hit something. So it would shut the rollers off, and slow the motor down to a lower speed. I was losing my mind!!!

It was so annoying, but if you jam it good enough, it might stay a while!! As long as the bags not over full, it will pick up. Otherwise, it would let you know by leaving trails of dirt and hair. Understandable. Change the bag as needed and it will continue to abide.

Now, for the good stuff. The switch on the handle got so messed up from me jamming it all the time! It started 'swimming' around inside the plastic. This unkind robot didn't even care if it hit anything anymore. It would just switch to floor mode automatically!! When I'd pull this beast backwards, the rollers would shut off! Then, push it forward, and they'd turn on... huh?back and forth, on and off!! EVERYTIME!! Arrg... Again!!! This unfriendly monster drove me so crazy!! It came to a point where i just couldn't take it anymore!! I don't know, is 3 years a good life span for a vacuum.?
...It's in my backyard right now in a thousand pieces. ...Boy, do I feel better!

I give this 2 stars. Only because it lasted me 3 years. Way too much fight to get something done! But, when it did work, It worked Well. Maybe I just got a lemon...
Anyways, I DO NOT recommend this product, but if you do get one, have your doctor check for high blood pressure.. Trust me.

Factory-Reconditioned Hoover U6600-9RM WindTunnel Self-Propelled Bagless Upright Vacuum


... I've had mine a few months. Bought it brand new. My house is not overly difficult to clean and I have no pets.

I have had nothing but problems with this unit and I'm about to buy a Dyson or some other premium machine.

This thing loses suction after vacuuming half the floor. A really bad design.

The final straw is that they power switch no longer works. I am an intelligent person with an engineering degree, and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to take this thing apart to diagnose the problem.

Do not buy one of these. ...

Hoover F7220-900 SteamVac V2


... I've had my SteamVac for 5+ years and still love it. I use it at least once a month, haul it back and forth between our two homes in the back of my SUV, bang it up and down stairs, and never maintain it like I'm supposed to. it still works GREAT. It really sucks the dirt and even super tough stains out of my light-colored carpets (just make sure you spot treat at least 20 minutes before). My carpets are completely dry within a couple of hours. Since it does a better job than the pros I've tried, it has paid for itself several times over. Parts are easy to replace and inexpensive. Machine is easy to use. If the one I have ever dies, I will buy another one without hesitation. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it weighs a ton and is somewhat of a pain to haul up and down stairs. ...

I should have returned it right then and there. But I put up with it and now that it's past the warranty period, the HEPA filter got too clogged and stopped spinning. It's just like everyone else describes here. Not easily fixable. Do yourself a favor and find a different vacuum. ...

Hoover Duros S3590 Power Canister


... Bought this thinking that a Hoover has been around and making vacuums for a very long time. Within months after purchase and use, this vacuum started falling apart. First it was the main hose connecting to the canister. This completely came apart, embedded electrical wires and all. You can guess what happened next...the main roller portion of the vacuum short circuited and no longer operable. There is no way to put the hose back together without the appropriate tools, or taking the whole vacuum apart. Trust me, I've tried, and I'm pretty handy. Vacuum is also extremely noisy with a screeching ear popping sound to it. The only good thing is the suctioning power, but what good is that, when main hose is no longer attached to the body. In my opinion, this is a very poorly engineered product. The person who designed this particular vac should be fired. That may be a little too harsh, but this vac is very disappointing and a total waste of money. ...

Hoover U4707-900 Clean & Light Upright Vacuum w/ 2X the suction power of an Oreck XL Classic


... Don't let the cheapness of the way this vacuum looks scare you away. It will "nearly" suck the carpet up from your floors. The foot print is smaller than most new vacuums today; a feature I really like because it gets between a lot of furniture. I love the long cord and that its light weight. I do miss the suction hose tools but this vacuum is so light weight that for many pieces of furniture (sofa) I just pick it up and run it over my sofa. Cons: sucks so hard you can not vacuum bath and pet matts because it will eat them and break the vacuum (after 2 months, I had to have it serviced --my mistake). Also, there is not a height adjustment so you can NOT vacuum thick pile carpet. These cons are a small price to pay for such a light weight vacuum. I've had this vacuum for 4 months and find because of its light weight I vacuum more often. ...

Hoover Fold Away Widepath Bagless Upright Vacuum


... My work replaced a decent commercial vacuum with this junker. Pickup has always been weak (even when it was new). Emptying is an inconvenient mess. (Removing the dust cup usually gets dust all over.) Product looks and feels like a toy.

Get a model that uses a disposable bag instead. Stay far away from this bagless junk, unless you enjoy choking on dust when it comes time to empty it.

UPDATE: Even though this unit was only about 3 years old and was only used once a week to clean an area that is not real big, it just completely died. No power at all. There was a burning smell coming from the power switch, as well as noises that sounded like sparks arcing. What a piece of crap. ...

Hoover U8130-900 WindTunnel VS Bagless Upright Vacuum, Red


... Can't say I understand any of the other reviewers when they complain about a 'loud' vacuum. Basically the definition of a powerful vacuum results in noise generation.

Anyway, I purchased this vacuum from Amazon back in 2005. It did a year's service of carpets before being packed up and shipped to another state for hardwood floor work (not as much as the carpet, obviously). Now I use it on carpet, hardwood, and as a shopvac. This thing won't quit.

But it does require maintenance. The rollers absorb hair readily and I imagine this puts strain on the motor. So I clean them out after every use (hence 4, not 5 stars). Besides that, the vac is bomb proof. ...

Hoover F6215-900 SteamVac Agility Carpet Cleaner


... I've had my Agility for a couple years. I like the ease of use and the fact that my carpets dry much quicker than when I have them professionally done. I am having to do 2 or 3 cleans to really see a difference in the carpet cleanliness. I let my carpets go too long between professional cleans and I think the fact that my carpets have taken nearly 12 hours to dry after said professional cleans is an indication that the professional cleaning did not extract well enough.

I have tried the Hoover soap, felt it did attract dirt too quickly after cleaning. I've tried vinegar in place of carpet soap; I've tried just hot water. The best cleaning solution I have found so far is using Folex. You can buy it by the gallon at Lowe's. 2 cups of Folex per tank is doing a nice job.

I think any woman or man who self cleans their carpets deserves brownie points from their spouse/partner for their efforts. Kudos to us for the cost avoidance savings we are making avoiding professional services! ...

I could tell by the way the vacuum was packed in the box, and by the way the packing tape was applied, that the unit must have been opened,re-packaged,returned, and sold as "new" by Amazon. The vacuum itself is a little loud and some of the switches could be of a better quality, but it seems to do the job adequately. ...

Hoover U9145-900 "Z" 700 Bagless Upright Vacuum


... I have purchased 4 upright vacuum cleaners in the last 10 years. 3 were bagless. They have mostly ranged from $200-$350.00. 2 were Kenmores, One a Dirt Devil and one a cordless Westinghouse. None of them have done a sufficent job in my home due to my Shiba Inu which sheds periodically. Considering I have spent more on other vacuums and didn't receive any satisfaction, I decided to buy this one at its now reduced price, mainly because most of the reviews(pro and amateur)never actually mentioned a lack of cleaning power as a con. They were generally more superficial conveniences cons like how the cord wraps or the weight.

Furthermore, I would never pay $600 for a vacuum. I paid $169. With all of the negative reviews out there it was a gamble. I will admit that after using this vac once my wife was amazed at how clean I had gotten the floors, Usually after using my other vacs the brush is tangled with dog hair, primarily pushing a growing mound of hairball across the carpet, but never cleaning it. Not the Z.
I was assuming also that this thing would operate like a tank since everyone complained of its heft, I guess these reviewers were 120 lbs or so because I didn't see any more reason to complain about the weight than if you had a Kirby. That's what I used as a kid. Maybe in this day of 9 pound Orecks its a big difference but never was it cumbersome.

Seriously, if your concern is actually cleaning, this vac is excellent.l If you paid $600 and expected more, really, what were you expecting? Its a domestic work appliance. Auto cord rewinds don't impress me, I want a clean carpet. This is the first vac that I have bought that has actually done what was promised and if it clogs, which is common in all vacs, it provides an access point to clear the clog. The dirt cup is pretty small so you will have to empty it more often than others.

All in all though a nice gamble paid off for me. I'm really wondering what some of the other reviewers were expecting. ...

Hoover U6637-900 Self Propelled Bagless Windtunnel Upright


... I bought a Hoover Self-Propelled WindTunnel Bagless with Powered Hand Tool (Model U6637-960) in July 2007. I was reasonably happy with it until the motor burned out last week - just 4 months past the warranty date. I have a two-bedroom apartment; this Hoover received very moderate use. Of course I checked for problems with the roller, belts, and visible clogs. The dirt cup had been recently emptied. The next step would have been to take it to a dealer for repair.

I'm finished with Hoovers. I now have a Bissell Momentum Bagless (Model 82G7-1) that I quite like, so far. It is much lighter weight than the Hoover, and easier to maneuver. One of the features I liked about the Hoover was the powered hand tool attachment. The Bissell has the same type of attachment (TurboBrush). Suction through both the base the attachment hose is very good - better than the Hoover. The dirt cup is separate from the filter (unlike the Hoover) and easier to remove and empty. On the down side, the Bissell's dirt cup is smaller and has to be emptied frequently. I paid [...] for the Hoover (Costco, with coupon). I paid [...] for the Bissell (Kohl's, on sale with coupon).

Where to dispose of my disabled Hoover? For people in the Chicago area, this information might be of interest:

Abt Electronics & Appliances (Glenview, IL) has an appliance recycling facility. Another company picks up the appliances from Abt, and either fixes the used appliances for resale or recycles them. For more information, go to the [...] website and search on "Recycling".

Hoover C3820 Steamvac Hoover Carpet Cleaner


... You will be amazed (and perhaps disgusted) to find out just how dirty your carpets really are after using this unit (even after vacuuming with a "high-end" vacuum cleaner). It REALLY pulls out the dirt. But make no mistake: this is no "miracle worker". If your carpets are soiled with pet stains, you will want to pre-treat stain areas by spraying (and thereafter scrubbng with a scrub sponge) the stained areas with the cleaning solution prior to using the unit. Also, after 3 or 4 months, most pet stains will reappear. This is not a negative reflection on the Hoover cleaner, but more a reflection on the realities (and limitations) of carpets, carpet cleaners, and pet stains. I am not aware of any other carpet cleaner (commercial or non-commercial) that can do any better than this unit, and believe me, I have looked. Further, the performance of the unit will depend on your willingness to clean out pet fur and/or other debris from the filters. As said, it is not a miracle cleaner - you have to give it some help by cleaning out the filters so that it can perform at its best. To my knowledge, there is no "miracle carpet cleaner" that ovbiates the need to peform essential basic maintenance on the unit.

This product also wins accolades for not leaking cleaning solution from the primary tank or the recovery tank. It's a very "tight unit", liquid-wise.

If you want clean carpets, and don't want to drop $1000 or more on a true "commercial" cleaner, this is the way to go. ...

Hoover U5753-900 WindTunnel Bagless Vacuum


... I've had this cleaner for about 4 years now, and it is AWFUL-except that when the suction is working properly, it does a good job. It uses belts like crazy; no wonder Hoover offers lifetime replacement belts. I have a golden retriever, so there's a lot of pet hair around when I vacuum. This cleaner picks up most of it, but eventually spits out balls of compacted dog hair that I have to pick up myself. (I'm saving up all that stuff to knit myslef a new dog!)I've had no problem getting the "canister" off to empty it, nor have I had any problem replacing it. But the filter and screen don't come clean with just a "banging" on the side of the dumpster. As others have mentioned, once that canister is about half full-which, in my home, happens each time I vacuum just the living room and dining room- it must be emptied or the cleaner won't pick anything up. And the little hand tool for doing stairs...what a joke! If you put the slightest bit of pressure on it, the little wheel stops turning. It's useless. I don't even try any more. If you are looking for a reasonably-priced cleaner, I'm sure there are better choices.

Hoover U83519RM Reconditioned Windtunnel ll Bagless Upright, Colors May Vary


... I purchased 3 of these vacuums in 2008, two for our house and one for a gift. The reason I purchase 2 for us is because these vacuums are very heavy and hard to get up and down stairs, so at $48.00 each, we bought one for each floor. All three have had problems within a dozen uses or less. As someone else wrote, the "self cleaning filter" is garbage and actually plugs up the vacuum because it doesn't clean itself. When I tried to clean it myself I ended up being covered from head to toe in dust... so much for the purpose of the filter.

I also bought the 2 year replacement plan and it too is a joke. When I called the warranty company, the poor guy tried really hard to help me for over 30 minutes but according to his company they do not cover remanufactured vacuums purchased through Amazon.com. They are still "researching" what they can do if anything. It's funny because Amazon.com has a purchase option where you buy the vacuum together with the warranty.

Anyway, I would highly, highly recommend that you do not waste your time and money on this vacuum. ...

... I have used my parents 1959 Constellation exclusively for the last 25 years and replaced the motor once. I finally replaced the vacuum, but kept it as a 60's prop. The new one seems to have more suction which is a huge plus. The longer cord and longer hose are FANTASTIC. The only issue I have is that it hovers a lot easier than the old one due to the higher volume of exhaust. The higher exhasut also blows the dust ahead of me so I have to work in a logical path to compensate. To keep it off my heels I put it on top of its power cord as I vacuum. The easiest storage is to wrap the cord around the handle and the hose around the bottom. ...
