Pros: This is an incredibly affordable machine, if you don't have a lot of heavy vacuuming.

Cons: This is not a heavy duty vacuum. It clogs easy and isn't easy to empty.

The Bottom Line: I thought affordable was the best option on a vacuum but found you get what you pay for. I dislike vacuuming an area more than once a day.

pollock6slc's Full Review: Hoover U5140-900 Tempo WidePath Bagged Upright Vac...
I had to have a vacuum because my expensive Electrolux blew up. I thought if I had to purchase a vacuum every few years I would go with a less expensive vacuum so I could purchase one every few years if it quit working. It was a good plan but one that I would not recommend as the vacuum did not perform the way I needed it to.

With children, vacuuming is at a premium. They tend to leave bits and pieces of things everywhere. As it went the vacuum was great out of the box, but after a few trips following the kids around the brush was clumped up with hair and other things. Taking the scissors to the twisted up mass helped at times. Changing the bag was another messy subject, I could just dump the bag on the floor and start over. New carpet was a disaster on this poor machine, it clogged every possible inch that it could and impacted it so bad that nothing would loosen it, so I guess you could say there was good suction to a point but nothing could get through to the bag.

This vacuum could not hold up to heavy usage, was hard to lift and manipulate and the tools were not that user friendly. It also plugged easily and the brush was always wrapped with all kinds of things.

I had a tight budget and needed a vacuum that would perform a little better over larger areas.
