I took my time shopping around for a new vacuum, comparing prices, brands and features.  I settled on this Hoover vacuum and regret my desicion.  I had nothing but headaches with it and with Hoover customer service.  After only having it a month, the motor overheated.  After about a week of playing phone tag with Hoover customer service, they finally sent a box for me to ship my vacuum to them for repair.  They replaced the motor and sent it back to me, free of charge.  2 weeks later, the same thing happened again, and again it was a major headache trying to get through to customer service and getting them to fix it.  This time, I had to pay to ship it and also had to pay to ship it back to me after they fixed it.  I had it about 4 months when the motor burned out a 3rd time.  I was fed up.  I asked Hoover why this kept happening and they said it was just a manufacturer error.  On 3 motors?????  I'll never buy a Hoover again!

I have been really happy with the Hoover Mach 3 bagless vacuum. It is quite powerful and has great suction power. It gets the floor very clean. The bagless feature is very convenient. It has a large bagless chamber. Emptying the cup is very easy. The cup open on the bottom and top making it easy to empty completely.  The on/off button is on the top of the handle, making for a convenient location. The attachments are convenient and work well. The hose is great for sucking up messes on couches and other furniture, and stairs, or other impossible to vacuum locations. The hose comes with several extenders so there are virtually no places it can't reach. The hose has a convenient handle that makes it easy to hold. You can experiment to see how many extenders you need. The cord is very long so you can plug in and cover a large room easily. I have not had to replace any part of this vacuum, and I've had it for 3 years.

I purchased this vaccuum a couple of years ago and although I still have it to this day and use it I don't really care for it that much.  I can't find the replacement filters ANYWHERE for it any more and not about to pay the shipping prices from hoover itself.  I have the same filter it came with and try to knock it clean when I clean the dirt cup.  Luckily my household isn't prone to allergies so I can get away with this.  It picks up w/the rotary brush on carpets fairly well but the suction from the hose itself is HORRIBLE.  From the day I bought it, it was like this.  The cup tends to fill up fast because of the bulky filter in the center but it still beats having to change and buy bags.  The handle raises up and down for easier storage in smaller places and I really do like the very large on and off button at the top of the handle.  It isn't that heavy and pushes around on the carpets pretty easily.  The brush attachment is definately put in the wrong place as I am forever knocking it off when I vaccuum and its really annoying.

The Hoover Mach3 Cyclonic Upright Vacuum is the best vacuum I have ever used. I have a dog that sheds a lot and this vacuum picks up all of his hair. The container comes right off to dump out the dirt and then you can continue on your way. We do have to take out the filters about twice a year to wash and clean them so they continue to work well. I have only had to replace the belt one time and I have had this vacuum for five years. I believe Hoover makes the best vacuums and this one does not disappoint. This vacuum is quite heavy to carry around and the hose is short, so it is hard to get rid of cobwebs on the ceiling. The attachments also fall off easily if they hit anything, so I do not keep them on the vacuum unless I want to pick them up from all over the house. I enjoy using this vacuum and it works very well at getting pet hair off of the floor and furniture. I would recommend this vacuum to anyone looking to get a good clean floor in a short amount of time.

I love this vacuum! I got it last night and it was easy to put together from the box, I vacuumed my rugs and my carpet now looks like it did th day I moved in. it's softer, the color is brighter (as in the color it was without the dust in it). When I finished I had a whole full canister of dust that I was living with. I had no idea I had that much dust and nastyness in my house! I have a rabbit who I let run around every now and then and apparently I have a blanket that sheds and when I finished vacuuming I had so much fuz I thought I could make a blanket! There was just so much you don't really see on your rug that it picked up! it's amazing. I love the features, this is NOT THE MACH 5... I like the atachments and they fit on the vacuum so nice, I love the tools it has to use to vacuum.

This vacuum is great. We bought it almost 2 years ago and have not had one complaint about it since! We even had a part on it break and we were able to have Hoover send us the new piece! Great vacuum would recommend to anyone!

I have owned this vacuum for about a year now, and I still love it. It does a fantastic job of picking up cat hair. It also has really really good suction. I do not need to empty the canister very often, but when I do, it is quick, easy, and does not make a mess. It is very simple to change attachments or switch to the hose while vacuuming as well. I was dubious that a vacuum for such a low price would perform well, but it turned out to quite a bargain! The only thing I do not like about this machine is that it tips over somewhat easily. If I am using the hose, I lean the body up against something so that it doesn't fall over. This vacuum is also very quiet, which is nice for apartment dwellers like myself. The vacuum is easy to maneuver, and I enjoy seeing the unbelievable quantities of stuff it is picking up! The first time I used it I was amazed. I would recommend this vacuum to just about anyone.

Just a fast and honest statement. This Vacuum really does a terrific job! We have three pets(Dog,2cats) I have always vacuumed everyday with the bagged Hoover Vacuum. We got this new Mach 3 (bagless) and WOW what a difference.   It works so well. Picks up the pet hair and you know the carpets are  REALLY getting clean!  It is also so easy to empty  the dirt cup and you can not help but, feel great about all the debries that you see it has picked up. LOVE IT!!!!

The Hoover Mach 3 Vacuum cleaner is the best I have seen with cleaning on an upright vacumm.  I love that it is bagless and has no replaceable filters.  Only downsides are that it is bulky and heavy and some parts on it are not made very well.  I had it for only 2 months and the wheels on the bottom that are used in adjusting broke off.  It still cleans, but only at one level now.
