The Garbage Pail is TOO Good for IT

 

This is the worst vacuum I have ever had the misfortune to use. It is a marvel of American Engineering STUPIDITY at its best. I bought this for my mother thinking a self-propelled upright would be a welcome change from a canister--WRONG! You cannot ...

Probably good for bare floors

Needs constant belt replacements

Not all that.

 

I have owned this vacuum for about 18 months. Overall I suppose this vacuum does what it supposed to. The vacuum picks up most things to include pet hair and leaves the carpet looking freshly vacuumed. Over time, however, there has been a significant...

It does hardwood floors well. Attachments easy to use. Fits nicely into most closets

Holds onto odors. Canister too small. Filters clog. Messy to clean. Loses suction

worst vacuum I have ever owned.

 

Well-you definitely cannot say I am a quitter! I have been struggling with this vacuum since purchasing it over a year ago. I found this web site on line while looking to see if Hoover had a recall out on this cleaner. (No such luck). This vacuum slips...

good suction, good maneuverability, good edge to edge cleaning

cheaply made for the price, constantly slips or eats belts,poorly designed

I purchased the Hoover WindTunnel Bagless vacuum right after my daughter was born. I wanted a vacuum that I thought would do a better job at picking up pet hair than the one I had. This was the first time I bought a vacuum without a bag. This was also ...

This vacuum cleaner is the worst I have ever used. I am continually surprised at how shoddy the workmanship. It falls apart every time I use it. DO NOT BUY IT. If someone offers it to you for free RUN. We had purchased our new home and after months ...
