Hoover U5194-900 Mach5 Multi-Chamber Cyclonic Vacuum Cleaner Bagless Vacuum Reviews

I purchased the Hoover Mach 5 six months ago for a household of 7 with a dog.  My complaints are minor but enough to make me wish I had purchased something else.  I spent a little more than my last vacuum thinking I was buying convenience.  I love the retractable cord, but it is located at the very bottom of the cleaner making it tough to hold the cord out of the way when vacuuming.  There is a tiny clip on the handle to hold the cord, but the clip is so small the cord always comes loose, and I have to stop and pick it back up.  Annoying!  The molding around the base of the cleaner is blue...

Bought the Hoover Mach5 about a year and a half ago. Initially I was very happy with it, but after 6 months, started to notice problems. Now I want a new vacuum. The main problem -- dust and dirt build up in the bottom section where the roller is and drops crud onto the floor with each bump. So if you are using the hose and when putting the vacuum up, there are patches of crud that have to be cleaned. I took it apart twice and clean it out but it is not worth doing this as it just gets filled again very quickly. It is also losing suction now, which was one of its selling points -- great suction....

I received this vacuum as a gift 6 months ago, and was only happy with it for about a month. I love that it is bagless, yet it does not really keep dust in. The last month after vacuming, I smell dust etc.

Another huge con, canister has to be emptied all the time! I have to empty a few times, each time I vacuum...and I vacuum daily, so it really should not have to be emptied this often. We do own 2 dogs, and 1 cat so it is mostly hair. Hair gets stuck on the filter, while running and doesn't pick up as well.

I definitely would not recommend anyone get this vacuum. Spend more $ and get a better...

 This machine looks more interesting that some others. I really like the fact that you don't have to change a bag all the time.  I believe it to be very powerful in sucking up the dirt. All tho, I feel that the price is much too high, there are many other types of vacume's on the market that work just as well a this one, they just don't carry the Hover mane on them.
