Rating: - Expect to spend around $20/month to use this vacuum.
Unsure why Hoover went with this design.
My old Fantom used its 'cyclonic' technology to get most dirt and small particles. The HEPA filter was only used for residual dirt; of which there was virtually none. In other words, the technology employed by the vacuum meant that the HEPA filter would not clog for years. It took over 8 years or so before the HEPA filter needed to be replaced.
That being said, this Hoover uses the HEPA filter as a primary filter. It has *great* suction when new, but by the time I had to empty the canister for the first time, the HEPA filter was clogged! ... Read More

Great vaccuum cleaner! Picks up everything! A bit heavy but not a problem for me although might be for some, would give it 4 stars
Rating: - Wife loves it - our 2nd one
This is our 2nd vacuum of this model. Large capacity for dirt and pet hair (2 dogs, 3 cats), great power. She doesn't have to empty it all the time like other vacuums we've had. And the bagless is a real convenience - pain trying to find the right bags in our town, few stores in a small town.
Our original one lasted about 10 years. Wear and tear, the belt drive finally gave out due to plastic parts wearing out. But, this vacuum lasted longer than other types/styles of vacuums we've owned in the past. The new one is definitely quieter than the old one (a sign of the drive wearing out?), ... Read More
Rating: - Good Vacuum
Works good. More noisy than my previous Windtunnel. Suction power is superb. They have improved the design overall and placed the electrical cord attachment higher up on the vacuum. The bagless design is nice but is more messy than a bagged typed as you have to empty it more often. The hose length is adequate. Hoover has an extended length hose that can be purchased separately. Overall a decent vacuum for the money.
The "Slider" also works pretty well. It does not do great if vacuuming up hair. It has good power and for hardwood floors or low pile carpets it should work fine for most ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent for dog hair
This Hoover vacuum cleaner works great! It cleans well, has a good "sucking" power and picks up a lot of dog hair that my old vacuum cleaner could not get. It works well on hard floors, too. The price is right and the performance is excellent.
