I bought this vacumn a few months ago and am very dissatified. It constantly clogs to the point that one room cannot be completed without stopping to unclog hose. The cord tangles and is very difficult to use and impossible to wind up nicely. I am very disappointed since I thought getting a Hoover would yield a good product.Hoover U5140-900 Tempo Widepath Bagged Upright Vacuum

The hose is too short & the attachments are just straight, so you can’t hardly maneuver into nooks and crannys.

It’s bulky & big, & not of the quality I would expect for the price.

I ordered this from Amazon after reading rave reviews and Consumer Reports recommendation. I unpacked it, and I had a scratched, used vacuum in the box! Wonderful, I thought, and plugged it in and tried to use it, only to find that not only was it scratched and used, but also broken! Am I the only one who got this lucky? I am pissed and contacted Amazon. They are sending a new one (I use “new” loosely until I see it) right away and send a pre-paid return label to me, but WTF? I am fit to be tied, ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you!

I recently purchased this vacuum cleaner. I paid $50+ for it and the shipping was $49. First of all, I didn’t realize the shipping would cost as much as the item I purchased. The first time I tried this vacuum cleaner it didn’t work. It wouldn’t pick up anything. There was just no suction at all. I haven’t sent it back because of the high cost of the shipping. If I sent it back I would end up paying $100 for nothing (shipping). I would tell everyone to never buy this awful product! Better yet, never buy a vacuum cleaner from the internet! IT’S A BIG RIP OFF!

I thought our cleaning lady should be very happy, but she was ho-hum about the whole thing. It’s lighter than the old Panasonic, but cleans about the same and she is a very strong lady.

I’m satisfied and the price was great. I’ll never again buy one of those $200+ monsters. I’m getting pretty tired of carpets, too, and replace carpets with tile and wood whenever I can.
