The Best Often Suck - Hoover Bagless Upright Vacuum

by KMINER KMINER is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Home and Garden, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Nov 24 '01
Pros: Lightweight, bagless, easy to use
Cons: Cord can get in the way at times, loud
One of my quirks is I am completely anal about having a clean floor. So it was no surprise that I asked for a new vacuum cleaner for Christmas, when I had received a new one only 4 years before that. I wanted a bagless cleaner, and I wanted something ...

This Hoover Bagless sucks well!

by BryRrose Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Aug 12 '01
Pros: Power, Ease of Use, Low Cost
Cons: Floor Height Control Knob is hard to use
With the purchase of a two story home the thankless task of lugging a vacuum upstairs became apparent very fast. Initially I felt it wouldn't be a problem. My old vacuum is somewhat heavy and when it comes to attachments and stairs it is difficult to...

Good Little Sucker....

by shanna Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Aug 22 '02
Pros: Cleans well, easy to empty, long attachments, Lightweight
Cons: Not enough attachments
Why is this woman writing about so many vacuum cleaners... well I have recently acquired some newfound knowledge and had a unique opportunity to evaluate several models in depth. My neighbor happens to sell vacuums... he has quite a collection of...

This Bagless Won't Leave you Penniless!

by cjensen1 , Nov 22 '00
Pros: Easy to Use, Effective, Durable, Convenient attachments, Not too expensive
Cons: It is loud!
I was raised a firm believer in the magical powers of the Electrolux canister vacuums. I descend from a line a women that vacuum everyday (more likely due to the pets and children in their homes as opposed to true fanaticism). My maternal grandmother...

Vacuuming is dirty business!

by msbluerasp , Jan 08 '02
Pros: Long cord, bagless, great suction power, does pet hair
Cons: Stiff height adjustment, a little pricey, doesn't do hard surfaces
This model of Hoover vacuum is a little pricey, but it does do a good job…on carpets.

We were looking for something that was going to last a good long time, and that really picked up the dog hair. If you have pets and pet hair is a problem,...

ITS ALL ALOT OF HOT DIRTY AIR

by hmiamama , Oct 10 '00
Pros: Wonderful power and filteration. Nice on board tools and features. Cord is REALLY LONG.
Cons: Canister doe not fit properly after only a couple of cleanings.
I'm a cleaning fanatic. I like clean floors. Maybe it's the Asian in me, but my floor HAVE to be clean.

When I saw the advertisements for the Hoover Bagless Vacuum, I was sold. When I saw that it had the GoodHousekeeping seal of approval,...

Keep the Cat, Throw Out Old Vac

by katieandtiggs , Oct 12 '01
Pros: A lot of power, bagless, washable filters
Cons: Dusty to empty, a little heavy, not self-propelling
If you have allergies, buy this vacuum!

Vacuuming used to be a chore, but now it's actually enjoyable. I bought this vacuum two years ago and it is now more like part of the family. It gets used all the time in every room.I have two cats...

20 amps versus 7 amps

by Misticke , Mar 06 '01
Pros: Great HEPA filtration system, extra long cord, no more bags!
Cons: Just a little bit heavy.
I recently decided it was time for a new vacuum cleaner. My old Hoover upright was only 7 years old but I have never been satisfied with the way it cleaned.

Since moving into my new house just a year ago, I've acquired 2 more dogs to go along...

Don't waste your time with this unit

by twilling , Jan 01 '02
Pros: Great Sucker, price
Cons: Design flawed from the start, Bulky and Heavy should be for commercial use only
The Hover Bagless Upright is not the vacuum cleaner for routine house choirs. I only owned this one for 2 months but I am compelled to review early because of my dis-satisfaction and will break the review down into 2 categories:

"I didn't realize how much came out of my carpet until I used this"

by evans123 , Jan 23 '01
Pros: Long cord, excellent cleaner,
Cons: difficult to use on stairs, bagless system leaks at times
I have used an old Sears canister vaccuum for about 10 years. I finally got an upright vacuum as a gift and was happy to see the bagless system. It was very easy to put this vacuum together. The directions explain everything and all you do is screw in...

DO YOU REALLY NEED BAGLESS??

by syheinz , Oct 12 '01
Pros: Tools, light, easy to maneuver, strong, see what it's picked up!
Cons: MESSY, MESSY to empty canister!!!
Okay, so when my Hoover Elite broke down, which was extremely cheap, did the job, and lasted at least 10 years, it finally took the deep end and I was forced to buy a new vacuum. Did very little comparison shopping. I knew I just wanted to spend less...

A Dust Bunnies Nightmare

by webturtle , Nov 27 '01
Pros: Good sucking, fairly light weight, good tool features, Bagless!
Cons: LOUD, cord doesn't retract, not very easy to put together or ergonomic
I have had the same old Sears vacuum since I first moved out on my own. The "beater bar technology" died a month after the warranty and I could never justify a new vacuum as long as the rest of it sucked. But eventually I had problems finding bags for it...

Eureka! No, wait.. FORGET Eureka.. buy Hoover!!

by AtlantaGreg Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Mar 29 '01
Pros: Good bagless system. Easy to push. Excellent cleaning power.
Cons: Cleaning attachment suction is not nearly so powerful as the direct floor suction.
Over a year ago while at Costco, I allowed a slick salesperson to convince me that the "Eureka Worldvac" vacuum cleaner was the greatest thing since white bread. I have regretted that day since... that is, until I bought this spiffy new Hoover Bagless...

What a sucker she is!!!

by djasonw , Aug 23 '00
Pros: Durable, efficient, wide path, large refuse hold
Cons: A tad cumbersome on stairs, louder than average
I purchased this vacuum after owning an Oreck (EXPENSIVE AND OVER RATED). I wanted a cyclonic so that I can see the fruits of my labor. I don't know if its me but I like to see how much dirt I've picked up when I vacuum. Call me NUTS but that's how I...

I've changed my opinion about this machine.

by etrem1107 , Nov 16 '01
Pros: Really strong suction.
Cons: "Above the floor" tools not so great.
Since I wrote this review, I've changed my opinion about this machine. I am leaving my previous review, and adding new comments in ALL CAPS.

I love this vacuum so much that I haven't put it away yet -- I'm using it every day! After finally...
