Hoover Complete Performance Advanced Pet Kit Corded Vacuum Cleaner, Bagged Vacuum Cleaner, Traps 99% of Dust Matter, Wide Cleaning Path, Includes 2-in-1 Pet Tool, Powerful Vacuum Cleaners for Home Use

The vacuum handles well. Its wide path and suction make it a breeze to clean the carpets in my home. The electrical cord is a good length and the attachments are great. Hoover has done a fine job in manufacturing this quality appliance.

I have only ever used Hoover brand name because I like them. I bought this model and didn't realize how light it was. I tried it and was worried about the power, but it is AMAZING! It can carry 2 of the 3 tools onboard. Perhaps it has a spot for all 3, but I have not read the directions yet. The unit was so, so easy to put together. Less than 1 minute. I love how the bag slides into a holder now. No filter falling off the pipe like some of the old models at times! I am surprised because I didn't think a newer model would be as good as one I have from 20 years ago, but it is!! I am pretty happy, and have already used it all over my house. I am so happy with this purchase!

I'd like to preface my remarks by saying I have used the vacuum a single time, but have handled it quite a bit on day one. The item is fairly easy to unpack and snap together, no issues there. I was very impressed on how light and easy it is to push the vacuum around, apparently they are made much lighter than my 20 - year old that I am replacing! On the LOW carpet setting, the brush stopped turning, but that may have been because the carpet wasn't 'low' enough. On HIGH and MEDIUM, it did great cleaned my living room rugs wonderfully. There is a drive that pulls the machine forward, so there is little effort. I also LOVE that it lays down almost flat to reach under furniture, tables, etc. I used to have to move my table in order to clean underneath it. People have said in the reviews that the cord is too short, I found that not to be an issue, and it is even a bit longer than the cord on my old vac. Also, people have said it is quite loud. I didn't find it all that loud, but again, my reference point is a 20-year old Bissel that may have been loud. The crevice tool is marginal. I say that because as you use the wand, there is still suction coming from the floor until and roller, and I found no way to turn that off so all the suction power comes from the hose and tool. My old one had that, so the crevice tool suction was far stronger. Also, when using the hose and wand/tool, the hose does seem quite short and is hard to extend. In all honestly, I think I'll keep using my old vac for the crevice tool/wand, and use this strictly for floor use. Overall I do enjoy it, and will see how it stands up over multiple uses!

I'm a housekeeper and go through about 1 to 2 vacuums each year. I have always bought Hoover upright bagged vacuums. They are affordable and while they tend to be quite loud & a bit heavy, the suction can't be beat- whether I'm vacuuming carpet or using the 10 foot extension hoses, wands & tools I purchase on ebay for my business.I LOVE the Hoover windtunnel max, however, they unfortunately have stopped making it. So, desperate for another vacuum, I purchased this one because it looked similar to the windtunnel max. Boy what a disappointment this model has turned out to be.In my haste, I neglected to check reviews, and features. I agree with the review about the carpeting- That is about the only great thing this vacuum does. And it is my experience nowadays that most people- if they have carpeting, it is just a few simple area rugs, so vacuuming carpeting well is not my number 1 priority when it comes to vacuum performance.So, I need a vacuum that has outstanding suction performance when it comes to using extension hoses and wands and dusting attachments.....which this does NOT. (I buy bags in bulk and change them after every house so there's never a question as to the bag being too full). The cord on this (25 feet) is also shorter than the wind tunnel max (30 feet). While that might not be important to some people, for a housekeeper, the longer the cord, the quicker we can clean an entire house- because you don't have to keep stopping to go reposition the vacuum or move it from room to room, to different outlets.In addition to the poor suction, the vacuum itself is bigger, bulkier, heavier and does not feel as ergonomic. The noise on this one has a higher pitch which makes it seem louder than other models- definitelya negative. There is NO OFF lever for the beater bar for vacuuming hard floors or using the tools, also a YUGE negative.Today I went over a hallway that had some debris (grass & dirt tracked in from the outdoors) 4 times and it just wouldn't suck it all up. This is SOOOOO frustrating!!I guess its time to switch brands, so long Hoover. And Hoover, if you happen upon this review, PLEASE! IF IT AINT BROKE, DONT "NEW & IMPROVE IT" OR, STOP MANUFACTURING IT!!!Sincerely, the frustrated housekeeper.

I've always had good performance from this stile upright Hoover vac . Received one for a wedding present in 73 and sold it when I moved out of state in 2001 . Bought a new one in 2007 for $53 which was improved over the 73 model . We wanted another vac so we would have one for inside and one for patio and garage, bought this new one that is even more powerful then the 07 . My wife bought a $250+ vac around 2001 , before I met her, that really sounded strong like a tornado , but after 3 yrs it quit sucking, and the repair shop said it would cost almost as much to buy and install the replacement part as to buy a new one.. Don't remember what brand it was but I didn't think it worked any better then the $50 Hoover.Im sure there are better vacuums for a LOT MORE $$'s . But for the average home this tried and true upright , is a no-brainer !!!!PS. And to quote a complete idiot ,NO JOKE !!😱
