This vacuum cleaner although is a great sucking machine fell apart very quickly. The on off button no longer works, the hard plastic hose broke about a month into using it. I love that it is not bagless. But other than that it needs too much repair. Please Hoover make another bagged vacuum cleaner that lasts longer!

 I have had my hover for over 5 years and it's as powerful now as the day I bought it. The only negative is that it does not tell you when the bags full like some newer vacuums. I will use this vacuum until it dies and replace it with another hoover bagged vacuum.

I bought this after using a bagless vacuum for a few years, I will never go back to a bagless vacuum.  This model is working well for me, and I think I have less allergy issues than with the bagless kind. So far we have not had to buy any belts etc. for this vaccuum so that is a plus for me.   A friend actually recommended the vacuum to me, and I in turn have actually recommended it to others.  I do find it more difficult to have to keep bags on hand, and to remember to check them, change them etc.  However, I think that both the level of cleaning and the lack of getting dust back out into the air make it worth the hassle of dealing with a bag.  I do not keep track, but I know I don't have to change the bag all that often, definetely less than once a month, and I have not had trouble finding the correct bag size at normal stores that I shop at, even thought it might not be where I got the machine.
