Time will tell: not reliable! July 21, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful

Beware! I would have written a glowing 5-star review had I posted one within the first couple of months of my purchase in January 2007. I loved this vacuum! I delighted in seeing all the stuff it picked up. It has great suction and I felt my carpets were truly deep-cleaned every time I vacuumed. I loved the bagless feature, the ease of empyting, the retractable cord, and various other features. But within the first few months the retractable cord got stuck about 2 feet out and would not budge. Since it was still under warranty, I didn't want to mess with it myself and risk voiding the warranty, so I just used an extension cord until I could find a "convenient" time to get to a service center. Eventually, I realized it would never be a convenient time to get to a service center, so I removed a few screws and was able to fix the cord mechanism. But a few months later I had a similar problem with the cord. Again, I unscrewed it and fixed it. A few months later, same problem. This time after I "fixed" it the cord no longer retracted fully--seems like the spring mechanism had lost some tension. I can live with the cord problems, but just last week, only 18 months after my purchase and approximately weekly normal use, the vacuum made a horrible noise and after unscrewing the bottom it became clear that the plastic that holds the agitator brush in place had broken or melted on one side, plus another plastic piece holding the height adjusting wheels was snapped. This does not look fixable to me, and of course it is no longer under warranty. 18 months! My last vacuum, which this one replaced, lasted 24 years with never a problem! They just don't build things to last anymore, I guess.

DO NOT BUY A HOOVER elite rewind June 26, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful

MY HOOVER BROKE DOWN AFTER 4 USES IN A 10X10 ROOM. AFTER DRIVING 200 MILES TO A REPAIR SHOP THAT HAD BEEN CLOSED, I CALLED AND WAS ON HOLD FOR AT LEAST 45 MINUTES TO BE TOLD THAT I WOULD STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR SHIPPING TO SEND IN MY VACUUM. I SHIPPED IT BACK TO THEM FOR AN ADDITIONAL $30.

AFTER 3 MORE WEEKS I STILL HADN'T RECEIVED MY NEW VACUUM, OR HAD ANY KIND OF FOLLOW UP CALL, SO I CALLED 3 TIMES, BEING ON HOLD FOREVER EACH TIME, UNTIL I COULD FINALLY GET A HOLD OF THE PERSON THAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO TALK TO. ALL THEY HAD TO SAY WAS, WELL WE NEVER GOT IT (THEY NEVER SAID WE HAD TO GET A TRACKING NUMBER)AND SINCE YOU CAN'T PROVE YOU SENT IT THEN WE AREN'T GOING TO SEND YOU A NEW VACUUM. EVERYONE GIVES YOU THE RUN AROUND AND NO ONE WILL EVER RETURN YOUR CALLS WHEN YOU LEAVE A MESSAGE FOR THEM.

DO NOT BUY A HOOVER UNLESS YOU WANT IT TO BREAK DOWN AND GET THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE IN THE WORLD. THEY WILL SCREW YOU OUT OF YOUR MONEY/VACUUM AND YOU WILL NEVER GET THE VACUUM FIXED OR REPAIRED. THIS IS THE WORST COMPANY IN THE WORLD WHEN IT COMES TO CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY WILL SCREW YOU ANY WAY THEY CAN.

Stopped Working June 24, 2008
I wonder if the same people who gave this vacumn high ratings would give the same rating after six months. Mine worked well for about six months and stopped working this past weekend. I had it cleaned out thoroughly and replaced the belt, but the power would not come on. My first thought was that the built-in Thermal Protector shut it down because of overheating. It should then reset itself after 30 minutes. Well...it's been two days....

I would think that you would want your vacumn works longer than six months. If so, please consider another product that is not made by Hoover. Good Luck if you decided to give this a try because of other reviews.

Sexy, sports car red! It works for Ferrari, why not you? June 22, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

RED! Shiny! Metallic!

Breathe, now, Kyle, it's just a vacuum.

Really, we just wanted something that worked.

After a scathing review against the "Bissell Pet Hair Eraser," (which we determined was a relatively worthless vacuum) we thought it best to at least make a positive stand to the one that won.

Yep, while the Pet Hair Eraser dazzled us with plastic crap, cute stories and useless suction, we weren't going to be snooty and shell out $500 clams for a Dyson, which in and of itself, gets mediocre reviews.

I had liked the Hoover Elite Auto-Rewind Bagless since I thought I was going to get killer sound from hooking up my MP3 player. You know, out of those speakers on the side. I thought rockin' the cleaning routine was a bonus.

Sadly, those two odd circular features on either side are a lifetime HEPA filter, and a cord rewinder.

Cord rewinder?! Hold the phone. You mean I don't have to do the lasso-over-the-plastic-hook anymore? Nifty. Better than speakers!

Pros:
-----

* Lightweight
* Smaller "footprint," (great for storage)
* Great container capacity for filth
* Great agitator, good suction.
* Good filtration system (so far...)
* Solid canister design; seals well.
* CORD RETRACTION! *cheers* No really, it works.
* Nice accessories, brush removable on one of them.
* Easy to push around on variable surfaces.
* Height-adjustment seems to work.
* Plastic framework solid.
* Very easy to assemble.
* Sexiest red vacuum paint job ever devised.

Cons:
-----

* Skeptical about the "lifetime" HEPA filtration.
* Accessory hose narrower than competitors.
* Has no cute pet stories.
* Light is practically useless.
* Not available in shock blue, pink, green or yellow, because come on, that red is sexy.

So far the performance, promises, functionality, design, ease of use, all that jazz, is up to par. I mean, in a world of terrible vacuums at ALL price points, it's just up to us, the meek consumers, to test them out and rave and/or rant about them. This one passes for price, productivity and color pleasing. At least for me.

This one shouldn't disappoint you, so if my words mean anything, and you're the hesitant type, just get it. As of this writing, it's one of the better cheaper bagless vacuums out there.

not a good choice for pet owners June 14, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I bought this one year ago and it seems to have been nothing but trouble. Broken belt, blocked hose, now not working at all. This would probably be okay for light duty, but it is not a good choice if you own a long haired dog/cat as the hair fills the bag quickly, blocks the hose etc.
