Hoover - EmPower Upright Bagless Vacuum Reviews

I just got this new vacuum and I am SO excited by it!  I could NOT believe that it came PRE-ASSEMBLED and was ready to work out of the box!

THEN I tried it out - you attach the hose to the bottom of the vac and make sure to turn till it's tight - then select the carpet height and push ON!

It even has a TURBO power boost button.. AND it has a HUSH button, which really you don't need because this is the QUIETEST vacuum I've ever owned!

It runs like it is self-propelled, EASY to maneuver.  LOVE the onboard tools.

It sucks things up like a cyclone in the catch cylinder and all you pet lovers will...

This is a very good vacuum and quiet when it is put on the quiet mode. The only problem I have had with it was the hose unattaches sometimes in the middle of vacuuming so you have to reattach it which isnt a big deal but at times can be a pain. It is really good at picking up dog hair too with the brush attachment. The filters are pretty expensive, but before you buy one, hit the filter on the side of the garabage can to remove any dirt and dust. Once the filter does not come clean anymore is when you need to replace it. I would say once every 3 months depending on how often you vacuum.

I have always found in the past that the hoover vaccuum that uses the bag is a good quality vaccuum cleaner but the new bagless hoovers seem to have a very thin hose that connects to the vaccuum that constantly gets clooged and loses its power many a times I found myself taking apart the vaccuum to unclog the hose.  I will no longer buy the hoover bagless vaccuum.  I recently bought a hoover  that uses the bag and has a wider hose and I am very happy with it. It has very strong suction.

    This is the third vacuum I have bought in the last ten years. It is by far the most reliable and easy to maintain. I love not having to change vacuum bags anymore. I've had to buy one new filter since I bought it two years ago. If you clean the filter after each use it will last longer!!!  It's a great vacuum for the price I paid for it!!

We purchased the Hoover EmPower about a year ago.  It worked great for about 6 months and now has little suction.  Had it to the repair shop and was told nothing was wrong, that

this vacuume has a notiorously short lifespan.
