    5 out of 5 stars Excellent vacuum!   August 2, 2008
    I don't buy into the notion that a good vacuum should cost $400. This is an excellent vacuum. The first time I cleaned the house with it, I had to dump out the dirt chamber 4 times. It picks up a lot more than my old Hoover did. Sure, the bagless concept is a little less convenient than bagged, but the series of filters do a good job. Just keep them clean. As far as people complaining about the belts breaking, they need to read their manuals. The manual tells you that the brush bar will keep spinning when you are using the external tools, so you should be able to figure out that if you are using them, you need to change the height of the brush bar to the tallest setting to reduce the friction. Do this and you will save the belt. Bagless models need more maintenance than bagged, also. So, buy one Dyson or three or four of these and some belts? No comparison, the Dyson is a marketing success, not a better vacuum.


    5 out of 5 stars Wonderful on carpets and hardwood floors.   July 25, 2008
    Purchased this as a gift for a couple of friends who own a very large log home that's mostly hardwood floors. Dogs and cats rule and this vacuum has done a wonderful job picking up all the animal hair. Would highly recomend.


    4 out of 5 stars It's good   May 26, 2008
    I like this vacuum. It cleans well and has good "sucking" power. It is a bit difficult to clean the hepa filter but I use a shopvac to clean the filter and that works great. A great vacuum for a decent price. I have 2 dogs, 3 cats and a parrot so I have gone through lots of vacuums and I'm tired of paying over 200.00 dollars and they don't last any longer. The price is right and performance is good.


    5 out of 5 stars Best Vacuum I have owned!   April 28, 2008
    This vacuum cleaner picked up rug dirt and cat hair that my canister vacuum left behind. It's easy to empty and the "turbo" head for the hose pulls up the mat of the carpet on our steps. This is the first air powered cleaning brush head that has worked and it works well.


    2 out of 5 stars Belt broke after 5 uses   April 26, 2008
     2 out of 7 found this review helpful

    I can't believe the stupid $*%!@?! belt broke after 5 uses. We bought it, marveled at its cleaning power, and happily cleaned our house several times. We took it over to my father in law's house and cleaned his too. We used it again at our house. But then the next time I use it I notice that it's not picking up the dog hair. So I turn it over and have a look and discover that the brushes aren't moving. I think "Hmmm... the belt can't be broken. It's brand new, so perhaps I'm missing something, like a 'brush on' switch or some such thing."

    Nope. No such switch. Further disassembly of the brush mechanism reveals the culprit; a cheaply made (broken) belt.

    Prior to the belt breaking, the vacuum cleaner performed beautifully. This is the reason why I didn't give the machine one star in this review.

    But c'mon, Hoover. This is an inexcusable problem for a vacuum cleaner to have, especially a new one. Vacuum cleaner technology has been through thousands of design cycles. After 50+ years of vacuum cleaner evolution, I would expect that engineers would have mastered the simplest and most critical part of a brush vacuum: the belt. When I purchased this vacuum cleaner, I bought a vacuum cleaner that I thought would last, and I just *assumed* that belt problems were a thing of the past. I guess I assumed incorrectly.

    And what really makes me angry and annoyed is the *fact* that there is someone at Hoover who is fully aware of this problem. I consult companies for materials, so I know how it works. These days, an engineer not only tests materials and matches up design specs, but he or she is also responsible for building "risk profiles". In this case, "risk" means financial risk, i.e., Risk = probability of failure * cost of failure. I know somebody did the R = P*$ calculation, realized that a finite number of belts would break, and let it slide. How can they consciously do that? Those failures mean that they know for a fact that substandard products are coming off the assembly line, but it's below a risk threshold that they can tolerate. Does it really secure profit margins enough to risk the Hoover name? Where is the pride?

    I remember every stupid vacuum cleaner we had in my house as a kid fell to the same stupid problem. The dumb, cheap, belt always breaks. And my father would have to call a dozen places in the phone book to find a new belt.

    If a better belt costs $15 instead of $3, why not put it in the machine? It means people will buy the machine that is dead nuts reliable. Isn't that worth something? Isn't it worth more to have a customer that has a 15 year old vacuum cleaner that will attest to its value and reliability?

    Five frickin' uses. C'mon. I'm totally disappointed, irritated, and annoyed, because I bought this stupid thing because I wanted a trouble free machine that wouldn't take up any of my time with quirks and fixes and parts replacement. If I wanted a POS, I would have bought a vacuum cleaner at a garage sale for $5, but at least then if it broke I could only point the finger at myself because I knew I bought a piece of junk. But this is ridiculous. I don't understand the standards of manufacturing any more. Six sigma my a**.

    And yeah, I'm sure somebody reading this is thinking that I should have bought a Dyson. I'm not sold on it... yet. Just 'cause some guy with a British accent can read a script doesn't mean the vacuum is any better than this one. Dyson has risk profiles, too.
