Great Value
Vacuum lived up to its reviews! Noy heavy, lots of power, easy to use tools. Purchased for my 87 year old dad.

extremely useful vacuum cleaner
Before I bought this thing, I checked the reviews. Seemed like a good cleaner. After using it for 6+ months, I very strongly agree with them.

I really Love this Very Powerful Vacuum
Consumer Reports rated this Vacuum as being a good one. We looked in our local stores and couldn’t find one. So we searched on-line and found it right here on Amazon.

Good Buy!
I think this Hoover Vacuum is a great buy. It works very well. I would say even better than some of the higher priced vacuums and the price is very reasonable.

Only lasted 5 months
I purchased this vacuum Feb 22, 2009. It stopped working last week. A belt must of broke because there is no suction.

I read Consumer Reports and the MANY reviews on Amazon before I made my purchase, and I just have to say: I love this vacuum! I have long hair and 2 pets, so I know what its like to need a good vacuum. This one sucks up everything on my hardwood and tile floors and on the carpet. The attachments’ suction is also incredibly strong- love it for couches and carpeted stairs. And you can’t beat the price, but mind you, I was so in need of a good vacuum, I was willing to pay $500-600 for a Dyson till I started researching vacuums. And: its NOT too loud.

works great for the price
I looked for this particular vacuum after viewing Consumer Reports ratings and found it on Amazon. I was trying to find a good product for a good price.

Got this a couple of months ago as per the CR recommendation. It works good on carpet, not so good on hard floors. For hard floors, the brush does not turn off and shoots the bigger junk around. But it works good on carpet, is pretty light, LOTS of power, a bag change indicator, and the attachments work well. Going to get another now! Make sure to get extra bags soon, they go fast. Jan 09 update Still going strong. I use it in twice a week on average for 15 min, no problems so far. Sucks like a. . . well, its strong.

Pleasantly surprised
I was not expecting much you know the old “you get what you pay for” and all. I was definately not willing to shell out hundreds of dollars for a vacuum cleaner.

Despite the rave reviews here on amazon and on other sites, I was not expecting much with such a low price. My expectations were certainly rewarded with an amazing value, a great vacuum, and the usual Amazon speedy delivery. It is really hard to believe that such a good product could be so inexpensive, even if it is made in Mexico. The build quality is excellent. However, for someone tall, like me, (6′4″) the handle is not long enough, the bag is on the small side, and the unit is noisy (but not any more so than other vacuums I have had that were 3x the price), but those are the only negatives after a week of use. Instead of smelling dust while vacuuming, the air coming out of the vacuum is actually fresher and cleaner smelling than the air in the room. Searching amazon, one can find belts for $3 or less and bags less than $1 in quantity, so the unit should be inexpensive to operate. If I get five years out of the unit, I will be more than satisfied.
