Hoover Vacuum - Fusion Plus Cyclonic Upright Vacuum — 

The main reason for choosing this product:
I have ALOT of carpet to vacuum, 2 cats, and 3 children of which one is a TODDLER! I don't just need a vacuum, I need a VACUUM! Ideally my family was MADE for the DYSON, but we cannot remotely afford one! I saw this particular vacuum at Walmart and liked the way it looked, was attracted to their claim to be the closest thing to a DYSON, and liked the bagless feature. I usually pay $50 - $80 for a vacuum. This one was around $120.00, but I figured if it was claiming to be a Dyson withpout the hefty price, it was worth it.........NOT!!

The real story:
This vacuum is powerful, and did pick up better than any other vacuum I had before. Although, it clogged after only using it a few times, and then just about EVERY time after that. I pick up everything bigger than a crumb before I vacuum, and change the bag/canister often, so I couldn't figure out why it clogged so much! I also seemed to be changing the belt quite often. It was VERY heavy and awkward to drag up the stairs, or to vacuum the stairs for that matter. I used to vacuum the first 6 or 8 steps while the vacuum was on the bottom floor, then drag it up to the "landing" and do the top 6 or 8 steps I couln't reach, then the next 5 up to the top. What a pain!

If you ask me......
Maybe if you have very little area to vacuum, have a one floor house or apt., or have no pets or kids - this would be the vacuum for you. But to be practical for all of us busy moms and dads (most with large homes with lots of carpet) I would say that I was disappointed with Hoover's claims on this one! Don't believe the hype!
