Bottom-Line: EmPower Bagless Upright Vacuum has proved itself to be the perfect little vacuum for our modest floor space.

Way back in the ‘80's when I was still riding submarines, I made a trip wherein the XO (Executive Officer) of the boat declared war on dirt; "dirt is the enemy he would say" as he...

I guess I should start with the basics of this very standard vacuum cleaner.  The Hoover EmPower Bagless Upright Vacuum has an average list of features; none of which work particularly well.  

The 12-Amp motor picks up the usual amount of dirt and dust, but is less effective on pet hair or embedded...

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 one of the best vaccuums that I have ever used.  Not only does it hold the suction that you would expect from a Hoover, but the motor is quiet compared to some other models that I have owned in the past.  The light that is on the front of the floor piece has a rather bright bulb so that you actually can see any particles that you might have missed when you find yourself vaccuuming in a darker part of the room.  The attachments are easy to use and the power cord is just the right length to reach majority of the areas of a room without having to switch outlets to be able to continue your...

This is a very powerful vacuum and reviewers that say otherwise must be doing something wrong.  In fact, it is possible that it is too powerful as it took up part of an area rug and tore the corner.  I am continually amazed by its ability to deep clean carpets that my previous vacuum could not touch.  This is by far the best vacuum that I have ever had and, for the price, would recommend to everyone.  The cons?  Watch out for edges of area rugs as this thing could eat them.  Also, the filter is very tough to get to.  Luckily it doesn't seem to need cleaning/changing that frequently, the... review »

I like this vacuum cleaner because it's small and picks up dirt.  That about it.  I don't like this vacuum cleaner because when the filter gets really dirty you have to replace it.  When you have to empty out the dirt you get your hands really dirty.  The knob is really hard to turn.  I have to put rubber gloves on, just to turn the knob.  Its really hard to unclog the hose.  We had to get a wire hanger and make it straight just to stick it into the hose to get it unclogged.  The one mistake that one of my co-workers decide to do, was to wash the filter, will it got it cleaned but then... review »

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.

Pros: bagless & very long cord so I don't have to hardly ever to unplug and replug

Cons: it is SO loud - louder than a shop vac by a lot! On bare floors / wood, shoots debri back towards your feet/legs. It just doesn't clean very well. Cheap -- many plastic parts have broken and I've only had it about a year - i.e. the holder for the nozzle attachment. I've never had a bagless before, so maybe this is common, but it's hard not to make a mess trying to empty it into a garbage can.

    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.

hoover empower vacuum does a poor job.the hose tends to clog and the knob to change carpet heights is very difficult to turn.I never had a problem with other hoover products,just this particular model.would not recommend this product as a powerful vacuum.
