Customers like the maneuverability of the vacuum cleaner. They mention that it's light, easy to maneuver quickly around the room, and easy to move around all areas in their house.

However, others say it was a waste of money and the struggling to get it to work to clean a small room. They also find the 3-in-1 combination tool to be pretty useless and counterproductive to the money saved by not just buying the Dysons model.

Powerful, light, and affordable

Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2014

Verified Purchase

I love this vacuum. I bought this about 9 months ago right here from Amazon. I got a pretty decent price after comparing it to my local bulls eye store.

Pros: super light, flexible steering (think race car for your carpet), long cord (can almost reach both ends of my house) great suction and carpet brush, clear canister with a max fill line, small footprint. Cleaning is actually pretty easy and kind of fun to take apart. I would recommend taking it apart more than you think. Each time I do I am always surprised how much crap builds up. Every piece that breaks down is washable including the main filter. Also this sucker is really easy to empty, most push button parts are marked in green plastic and have a little icon on them.

Cons: Not many, but here goes; two attachments came with mine and there is no place to connect them to the machine. The small narrow brush attachment can actually slide sideways through the handle. The carpet brush I do not use very often (more for carpet on the stairs I suppose). The clear canister was a pro is now a bit of a con, the clear plastic has filmed over with a milky finish. I can scratch at it and it gets clear again, but clearly the clear plastic wont stay clear.

If I had to really pick this vacuum apart I would say that's about it, pretty decent machine. For this money I would be really hard pressed to find a vac that hits some decent marks (light, powerful, easy to clean [aka keep powerful])

Oh well, great while it lasted...also, tips on getting the best performance

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2014

Verified Purchase

It was a great machine, worked as advertised and with its steerable function, very easy to maneuver and terrific suction. Unfortunately, mine cooked its motor within three weeks of getting it. Before you ask, yes, I did read the instruction manual but one minute it was fine, the next instant for no reason, it stopped. The collection chamber had just been emptied, everything was in fine working order but it just stopped cold dead. It's being sent back to Amazon.com for a final burial and I still may order another one in the future.

I had purchased this to replace a Dyson DC7 Animal which weighs slightly more than my wife's SUV. The Dyson still works perfectly but I'm getting tired of wrestling that polar bear. Hoover basically took all the high points from the Dyson ball and made a lighter, smaller, and less expensive version. And actually, did a very nice job as well. It takes a little learning period to steer the Hoover but in short order, it will feel very natural and light in the handle. Since it is light and comfortable, I find that you actually get through the vacuuming process a little bit quicker and more efficiently.

Here are the secrets to success. I've read a lot of reviews on this unit and many if not most of the problems can be solved by very important and enlightening information that is hidden from most people in this thing called, "The Instructions".

There are two very important things to keep in mind when using this Hoover vac on floors.

#1: Am I using this on a hardwood, linoleum, or tiled floor?

If the answer is yes, turn the dial located half way up on the right side to "Floor" AND right next to the on/off switch, there is a smaller button that turns off the spinning of the brush. Once you have turned the dial and pushed the button you're ready to vacuum a non carpeted surface floor.

#2: Am I using this on a carpeted surface?

If the answer is yes to this question and you had been on the hardwood floor but are now moving to that nice wall-to-wall, you need to go to that little button next to the on/off switch and turn it on to get the brush to rotate. When it comes on, it sounds a little like an A-10Thunderbolt II taking off but not as loud. The brush Will Not Spin until the unit is tilted as if you're ready to vacuum.

Bonus Tip: I've seen a number of reviews that say the unit's suction is so strong, they can't move the vac across the carpet. This may sound like voodoo/magic but...if you go back to the "Tools/Floor" dial, you can turn the dial a little at a time towards the "Tools" setting. The function of the dial basically is to switch suction from hose to floor and back. Turning the dial a little towards the "Tools" relieves a little of the suction and allows you to move the unit across the carpet. I turned the dial until I was able to move the unit, just experiment and you'll find that zone. This suction-relief is nothing new, my Mom's Kirby Vacuum from the '60's had a little dial switch near the base that did the same and even my Dyson has that adjustment for vacuum pressure on the end of the handle. It's just simple physics.

Bottom line: It's a good unit, well thought out in design and works very well once you know what you're doing. I would like to think that my unit was just an exception and a bad motor will surface from time to time regardless of brand. I think all of its features are well thought out but I wish there was a place to keep both the crevice tool and the pet hair tool both on the unit at once. The steerable feature will be greatly appreciated by your back and shoulder. If I had a hand in the design, I would make the collection chamber a little bigger for more capacity, that's why Dyson's units look a little less streamlined and bulky. I would also add more ventilation in the motor housing area, it gets pretty warm. Finally, since we're now in the age of LED lights, add a few to the front of the unit, they will last twenty years, use little to no electricity and can tap into the main circuit board located at the very bottom of the vacuum. It would have gotten 5 stars but when an electronic appliance dies on me, then the max-stars thing is off the table.

Awsome power, poor design of canister...

Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2013

Verified Purchase

Date: (07/31/2013)

Recently, my house had a big flea problem so I dusted all the carpets with diatomaceous earth to kill the fleas.

I just received the vacuum today and tried to use to finish vacuuming parts of my house still covered in DE powder.

+PROS:

-Suction is a beast!

-It's lighter than my DC25.

-The canister is bigger.

-12 cyclonic ports compared to my DC25's 6 ports.

-Longer Hose

-Longer Cord

+CONS:

-Poor canister design. Flimsy twist-lock on top portion of canister.

-Hoover's UH72450 doesn't have any slots in which to hold the attachments that is included with this vacuum cleaner.

COMMENTS:

First off, the suction on this thing is a beast. If you have the suction knob fully turned onto the Floor setting it just grabs onto the carpet hard making it very difficulty to push. My old Dyson doesn't come close to this thing's power at all.

The top part of the canister that houses the reusable filter is secured by a twist lock. This twist/locking mechanism is not strong or tight at all. I like to give the canister a good shake or twisting action to make sure all the dust comes out when I empty the canister, but the top on this canister separates from bottom due to moderate twisting action. The very first time emptied my canister the top just came off as I did a twisting action which make a terrible mess on the floor!!!

I'm not sure why but the motor brushes turn off after being turned on for 2 seconds while the vacuum cleaner is stationary. I have to turn on the brushes then quickly move the machine to stop the brushes from turning itself off. Once I stop the brushes turns itself off and this gets tiresome when trying to navigate through furniture.

The canister design is a big flaw and and the brushes turning themselves off is starting to piss me off. Due to this I'm pondering whether to return this vacuum cleaner.

Excellent vacuum. I couldn't believe the dust it pulled out of our carpet that our old vacuum left behind. Great suction. Goes from carpet to hard floors easily.

So far I'm very pleased with this vac. It's suction power seems more than adequate and the easy cleaning of the canister is a "snap", literally. Never had a Dyson, so I can't compare, however, for almost a third of the price, I can't complain. I'd definitely recommend it, but do remember, it is an upright vacuum, which is a bit more cumbersome to use than a regular vac., for example, vacuuming under a bed.
