... 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.
