  • Hoover's low-priced vacuum that "bags" value (and a few compromises, too)

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 22, 2008
    Pros: Inexpensive. Bagged convenience. Good on rugs and carpets. Handy tool storage. Maneuverable.
    Cons: Earsplitting noise level. Tupperware-like build quality. So-so performance on bare floors.

    Summary: What’s the big deal about vacuums? So many models from which to choose. And the prices! Why, I wondered, should I spend hundreds when I can get a Hoover Tempo Widepath for $69 at Best Buy? Considering the number of reviews this model has already ... read more

    Pros: Lightweight. On-board tools. Powerful motor. Wakes teenagers.
    Cons: Plastic Body but that's ok.

    Pros: Jet engine like suction and value for the money.
    Cons: For the price... none!

    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.

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    Pros: strong vacuum, complete basic accessories, low cost
    Cons: 20' power cord, short stiffer vac hose, poor hose routing, agitator always on

    Summary: For an executive summary, read only the bolded sentences. Bag or Bagless? Before we even begin, for home use I'd never consider a bagless. Anyone who has owned a Dustbuster or its clones know emptying its small canister scatters dust, and ... read more

    Pros: It's easy to assemble, and when it's new it works great.
    Cons: It's suctioning power dwindles to zero after a couple months. Get a warranty!

    Summary: I'm on my third Hoover WidePath. The first one lasted 4 months. I made the mistake of not buying a warranty. I bought the second one only because I could get a 4 year warranty for $20 and was told that I could get a new one if it breaks. Well, the second
