I am disappointed in the Hoover nano lite.  Rarely do I have appliances or electronics that stop working or have problems when they are not abused.  Unfortunately the Nano lite falls into this category.  I would say that the performance for the first year was ok for such a cheaply priced vaccuum.  It would clean carpets well and my hard wood floor less so.  Nevertheless I would empty a large pile of dust and dirt after every vacuumming.  I could tell about 3 months in that the motor was funky.  The device seemed to get overly hot and had a strange smell.  Fast forward 14 months after...
