Honest Review!
4 out of 5 stars
Honest Review!
I will start out by saying, I use to work for a cleaning company that used these vacuums in every home. We would clean 5 houses a day, some with animals and some without. I absolutely loved this vacuum then. It made my daily work life so much easier and faster. It's been a few years since then and I decided to buy this vacuum for my home (purchased March 28th, 2019). With all that being said, I will write my review.We recently bought a house with all wood floors. Soon after, we got two dogs. One is short haired, and the other is an extremely floofy 80 pound dog. With winter coming to an end and an installation of a doggy door... our floors have been covered with clouds of dog shed and dirt. I absolutely haaate the feeling of dirt on my feet, it's one of my biggest pet peeves. I had to sweep every single day and even than, dirt and hair would build up in hard to reach areas. Standing there, debating on shaving my dog bald, I remembered this vacuum that I use to love! So I ordered it.The package arrived on time while I was at work and I was so excited to open it up that I rushed home on my lunch break. I'm not sure if it's written somewhere, and to be honest I didn't look.. but I was fully expecting to receive a black vacuum with black attachments(which is what I thought was pictured). This vacuum is grey with white attachments. The floor attachment is much smaller than I remembered, so it doesn't cover as much floor as it use to and the bristles use to cover the entire edge so that your floors wouldn't be scratched and suction would stay strong throughout the attachment (they switched it up for some reason). The larger attachment (which I assume is for carpet) is useless if you have shedding animals. The smaller attachment (which I assume is for stairs) has rubber bristles(may work ok with dog hair but I don't have stairs so idk). The corner attachment is much shorter than the previous version and the furniture attachment is what you would expect. The cord is very long compared to my regular vacuums. And everything did arrive in perfect shape.I bought this vacuum for my hardwood floors so it was important to me that that specific attachment work. I waited two days before vacuuming so that dirt and hair would build up enough so I could see how this vacuum really works. Having a shorter attachment makes the job take a little bit longer but as long as your vacuuming correctly, this vacuum works really well! The suction is great! No scratches so far and I can get under, behind, in between and more with this vacuum!! It sucks up hair really well and after vacuuming my entire 3 bedroom house, my feet feel clean walking around barefoot!!I used this vacuum with the cloth bag it came with because the paper bag adapter is taking longer to get here, but I do suggest getting the paper bags(bags and adapter sold separately). The cloth ones collect everything fine but hair and dirt gets stuck in it and dirt flies everywhere when dumping it. Wearing the vacuum can be a little bit uncomfortable. Walking around with it isn't so bad, but bending over is where it gets the most uncomfortable. I made the strap as long as it could get and it's much more comfortable that way. They do sell a bag that goest with this vacuum and it makes it all much more comfortable if you wanna spend the money. Over all, I really like this vacuum and I think it works great! I wouldve given a 5 if I had received what I was expecting and if the attachments were what I use to use. I'm not really sure why some of the reviews were so bad. It might be that this vacuum works great at first and slowly declines. But for 100 dollars.. this is a great deal. If I do have any issues I will update my review. Otherwise.. enjoy your clean floors!! :D

This is literally the best vacuum I've ever owned. It is so lightweight that you can sling it over your shoulder and move room to room with the insanely long cord. The wand and head attachments are so lightweight and versatile it makes cleaning upholstery and hard to reach places a breeze. Ladies you will particularly love how easily it cleans steps without being bulky or cumbersome. It is super powerful. They aren't kidding when they say industrial or commercial strength. The vacuum head does not have rotating bristles but you barely need them. The suction is so strong it's picking up almost everything from the carpet. Works great on hardwood floors and is so maneuverable between objects. Well worth the money compared to other vacuums that I've used. My 7-year-old was vacuuming with ease as he slung the unit over his shoulder. He and I were just talking about how he freeloads and that he would have to move out soon if he didn't start pulling his weight. This vacuum saved the family

This is my favorite vacuum! It is lightweight and with the extra long cord (I have the commercial version) it is easy to carry about my condo without ever unplugging. The suction power is strong, With all the attachments there is nothing you can’t clean. On top of all of the benefits of a lightweight easy to carry machine, emptying the bag is a breeze. I originally had this same vacuum as a 2nd hand gift years ago and thought of it often when using the 3 other vacuums II owned that were a disappointment. I jumped for joy when I saw it was still available on prime and at an unbelievable price. It is still the best, most convenient vacuum I ever owned. I strongly recommend this wonderful vacuum.

This is very convenient and comfortable to use. It's great at picking up dog hair, dust, dirt, grit, lint and paper bits but something like dry dogfood, it may or may not have enough suction to get. Or you may have to manuever the vaccuum hole right on top.of the peice of dog food, i.e., which makes it inconvenient for THAT.
If you want a vaccuum to wear on your shoulder and go from room to room vaccuuming the cobwebs in the corners, ceilings, or dust off the curtains, this is perfect. It's a good spider getter. It's great to get the grit off your stairs, and for daily once-over hardwood floor cleaning. I love how not-awkward it is to handle. Better suction and I'd go from 4 to 5 stars

I use this for baseboards, corners, dusting and anywhere else my robot vacuum won't go. It's easy to carry around and way more powerful than cordless models. The cord is very long and allows me to do multiple rooms without having to unplug. I don't do open floors so the cord is never in the way and carrying the canister keeps the hose from getting in the way. Overall, it works much better than I expected.

Two things could be improved: Since the carrying method is just a sling, when you invariably lean for some hard to reach spot the canister tries to swing around to the front and bash into whatever you are reaching around. I think an additional strap will fix this. Second is that for dusting, the head with bristles surrounding the suction area works best, but it is a little small. This one works well for baseboards and corners, but the hard surface floor size would be better. It has bristles only down the center and hard plastic around the edges, so it think it might scratch. I'm going to try wrapping that in a microfiber cloth to see if that works.

All in all, very happy.

DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT !!!!!!!!! I purchased this vacuum about 5 years ago and liked it so much I ordered another recently. Hoover must have changed the design on the lever that holds the main vacuum hose to the unit and the same lever is supposed to keep the bag door from opening. The new vacuum that I just received has a lever that does not perform the two functions. it either keeps the hose in place or it keeps the bag door closed. The failure of this lever to perform both functions means you need to keep a third hand available (if you have a third hand) in order to keep the vacuum together while you're vacuuming. Really bad design change. Never had this problem with the same vacuum purchased 5 years ago. Thinking this was an anomaly, I contacted Amazon and they graciously send me a replacement vacuum. I received it today and it has the same problem. The issue is not an anomaly. It seems to have been a very bad design change by Hoover. I contacted Hoover customer service and have yet to hear from them on how they plan to address this issue, or if I need to purchase another supplier's vacuum. I'll update this review once I hear from Hoover. In the meantime, stay away from this vacuum cleaner.

UPDATE - Hoover did not respond to my email, so I called them and spoke to someone who simply gave me a contact for a local Hoover Warranty claims repair location. Before lugging the brand new vacuum to the repair center, I called them to describe my problem (with two brand new vacuum cleaners). I'm glad I called. The repair center stated that if I brought the new portapower vacuum to them, there is NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM if that is the way the product is manufactured now by Hoover. Wow, who would have expected Hoover to assume their customers would tolerate such an inferior product.

Me encanta bien útil para el carro mejor que las de baterías pues porque no te quedas sin batería. Limpiar el carro desafortunadamente requiere más de 20 minutos porque eso duran las baterías de las portátiles y esta caray súper potente súper rápida y puede ponerle bolsita de papel que yo compré así que limpio el carro y tiro la bolsita de papel cuando se llene cosa que no ha pasado porque como es pura tierra tarda mucho y no se llena.

So this is our second version of this vacuum-which May seem like that would indicate this is not a good quality product… but let me explain we have 3 kids two giant breed sheepdogs, two cats and live on a farm. It’s a miracle that we didn’t burn the first one out in a year. So when our orginal needed to go to a better place aka the garbage it was because it had done a lifetime of regular cleaning…. But this fun hard works and super portable vacuum. You too can feel like a character out of ghostbusters while cleaning your home!
