Summary: Funny, if it had wheels and the blower wasnt blowing out on the bottom, it would be great for people with pets that have floors only. Once you start vacuum, it blows EVERYTHING within a 3-5 foot circumference of the vacuum body all over the place. Not a deep cleaner for carpets as you really need an electric powerhead for that, the turbo nozzle just cleans on top of carpet, it isnt strong, none of them are!

*Hose is great, very long reaching.
*Switch could have been better positioned.
*Vacuum hose handle where you hold the hose to vacuum could of definately of been arched a little more.
*Missing a good furniture upholstery cleaning peice (the one they give has bristles on it).
*Bags are hard to find and the correct ones are VERY hard to find, even if you go to Hoovers website, PLUS, they have 2-3 different \"S\" type bags and you have to know which one is correct one to order. Very bad set up by Hoover!!!
*Because of the floating action, vacuum bumps into things WAY more than one on wheels. I like using it only cause its cool and thats what my grandma had when I was a kid (she had the original ones obviously).

Summary: I would not recommend this vacuum for rugs or carpets. The vacuum is more like a sweeper than a fully functional cleaning machine. If you have pets, get a canister with a power head for deeper cleaning. This vacuum does not deep clean.

Summary: Great little vacuum. Surprised not more popular. Light weight ....quieter than most vacuums. Leaves no floor tracks because it floats on air. Nice long hose and telescoping wand for getting things high up. Great suction. Hepa filtration.
