Brushes never turn off, poor for pet hair September 20, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful

I was excited to get this vacuum based on all the great reviews it got. It's relatively light and my wife prefers uprights. On the second use I accidentally ran over a cord and the brushes pulled it in, locked up, and ended up breaking the vacuum's motor belt. Because of the awkward placement of the on/off switch (on the body and not the handle), I couldn't turn it off in time to prevent this. So I went to the vacuum parts store feeling like a fool because I just broke my brand new vacuum and bought a new belt which was very inexpensive. After completing an easy repair, everything seemed to be working fine. My wife noticed it made an unusual smell- kind of a burning smell whenever it was on and refused to use it. Also the brushes NEVER turn off. So when you are using the attachment tools, the brushes are continuously going which is frustrating because you feel like it's digging a hole in the carpet. I have thicker, nice carpeting downstairs, which it does an okay job on (although it leaves lots of cat hair behind), but is useless on my cheap, very short carpet upstairs or the tile floors- it won't really pick up anything. I've owned this thing for over a year and today went out and bought a new vacuum. I'm planning on tossing this thing in the trash after dinner. :)

Great bargain on powerful vacuum cleaner September 19, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

We've used this vacuum cleaner for about 2 months on carpet and tile and have had no problems with it. Based on others' experiences I ordered belts at the same time as the vacuum but haven't had one break yet. We keep our house reasonably clean (4-5 people and 2 indoor cats) so we don't usually vacuum more often than once a week. We have not yet needed to replace the original bag. We've used the hose attachments a couple of times and they worked fine. The vacuum cleaner feels flimsy and cheaply made and is quite loud, but it works well. And at $60-70 it's definitely affordable.

Great Buy September 19, 2008
I purchased this Hoover, after having a Dirt Buster vacuum, for less than a year. When I received it, I immediately started using it, on a newly installed carpet. I was totally impressed, by its suction power, even with the attachment hose, for edges and ledges. I would recommend this product, to anyone who is looking for a reasonably inexpensive, efficient vacuum cleaner. It is well worth the price I paid.

Great little vacuum. Has lots of power! Great price. Only wished it had a longer tube for attachments. Not quite long enough.

Good for a cheap vac September 18, 2008
I've used this a few times since buying. Its a bit plasticky, but it has a very strong motor and sucks like crazy. I'm not entirely enthused about my purchase, but I'm happy for the cost of it.
