Hoover is always a reliable vacuum. I purchased this for my mother and she is very happy with it.

Picked out this model after seeing a favorable Consumer Reports review, and the price was attractive compared to other options. However it was dead-on-arrival…it simply did not operate when the power switch was turned on. The power switch is a very flimsy plastic slider with some plastic linkage to the actual electrical switch, however this is all hidden within the chassis of the unit and not something you can fix without a lot of work. So I’ll be returning this unit. It’s just as well… I would not predict a long life for that switch even if it was working.
So I can’t comment on how well the thing vacuums…but I’m not inclined to try a replacement unit. The hatch for the attachments seems pretty flimsy and prone to opening when you don’t want it to. The attachments themselves are absolutely the cheapest plastic things Hoover could get away with.

Did the demo thing today for this model. I liked it for the most part.
Noise level seemed good
The attachment cover is a little like pandora’s box, but once you know the secret it’s like open sesime. Much better than hitting the old Wintunnel with clips on the back.
Wish I had practiced with the hose. I did take it off and put it back, but really didn’t use it.
Agitator design and belt guard looked much better than older windtunnels.
Seems reasonably easy to handle.
Access to the bag area is a bit tough. One of the users is severely arthritic in the hands.
Bagged seems much easier than bagless. The users alergic to dust, Asthma and pollen it will be welcomed not to have to painstakeingly clean the filters.
It’s not out of the box. May be able to get it about $40 cheaper.

This is a terrible vaccuum. It does not have strong suction and won’t even pick up popcorn on carpeted floors. Instead it will grind it into the carpet. When I went from one room to the next it dumped the little debris it did pick up onto my hard surface floor. I am so frustrated and wish I had kept my old vaccuum.
