Hoover’s latest canister stands out for its design-savvy looks, not to mention the fact that it cleans with powerful WindTunnel technology. Dirt particles are cleverly ducted away from the spinning agitators to ensure they’re captured in the bagless dirt cup and not sent back out onto the carpet. The HEPA filter traps minute allergen particles and conveniently removes for cleaning. Large, soft wheels allow the compact 12-amp vacuum--which looks like it could play a robot extra in Star Wars--to maneuver easily. Best of all, the handgrip features electronic control buttons for power on and off, variable suction (allowing smooth transition from wood floors to area rugs), and agitator action speed for carpets. Tools are easily attached to the telescoping wand, making it a snap to switch from cleaning floors to using drape and upholstery tools. A one-year warranty covers this unique vacuum against defects.

Love it!

This is my first cannister vaccum and will never go back to an upright. It's amazing how much it picks up dirt. I would highly advise buying one.

Worth the price

Very happy with this Hoover, my first. I've always used the cheap $50-$75 range upright because I didn't think a vacuum is a vacuum. Man, was I wrong! This Hoover has DOUBLE the cleaning power of the cheaper vacuum. Worth the extra cost!!

Good for a few years
»
Reviews always seem to come from people who recently bought the product. I bought this a few years ago after my husband picked an awful Dirt Devil upright that fell over every time I used the wand and was impossible on stairs. I was so happy to get back to a canister. This is light and mobile and very easy to empty. The cord is really long and you can vacuum everywhere hardly replugging. We loved it. It can't be more than 3 years old and the buttons on the handle work sporadically and it often won't shut off without being unplugged. The cleaning head attachment won't come off any more, so I can't switch to any of the attachments. And, mostly, it just doesn't seem to pick up well any more. It was a good price and has great features, but I had really hoped it would last longer.

don't use after warranty
»
This vacuum was fantastic for the first year. Now its been over a year and we are having electrical problems that cannot be replaced but have to be serviced. For a product that cost so much to buy - why can we not purchase the "molded" electrical parts? I called hoover and they gave me no other alternative. Watch out folks.. you might be paying an arm and a leg.

Good eclipses the bad

Bottom of Dirt Cup handle was broken when I received it. I looked in the box and found small pieces of plastic. Also, I could see a depression of the handle in the box and saw where the foam had deformed. I think the packaging works most of the time, but if you have a rough handler (I shipped ground) you could have the same problem. I noticed someone else had a review with same issue.
I called the local Hoover service location (Seattle) the next day and brought it in to show them. They gave me a semi-used Dirt Cup and Filter and are having a new cup shipped to me - all under warranty. To me that's good customer service!
I vacuumed the whole house with it because I was amazed how much "stuff" showed up in the Dirt Cup. I've never had a bagless before but this vacuum seems to do a much better job than our old Kenmore Progressive. It took up a little too much up from our wool carpet so we're going to keep the suction low and if need be use a different vacuum in that room.
The main 'power nozzle' agitator attachment doesn't hold a right angle when we pick it up so it's a little awkward to lift - just have to reach lower on the handle. Love the little 'crevice' agitator attachment for stairs. The roller moves using the air flow and has no motor.
Canister is a little bulkier than I had expected but the relatively high handle allows for easy pickup. Can't say that I'm as impressed on dirt floors, but it probably works as well as most. Attachment wand, hose etc. appear to have good connections. I mention this because we had two faulty connections (one covered in warranty) in our Kenmore wand which made us shy away from the newer model of the same make. My wife liked it better than her mothers $800 Miele.
Bottom-line: I think that for regularly carpeted house (e.g., no wool, burber) this could be an exellent vacuum and so far it's the best we've owned in 25 years.
