DO NOT PURCHASE THIS VACUUM -- TOTAL JUNK, April 15, 2009
By SirJohnny

"Definitely do not purchase this vacuum. This is my third one in two years (I returned the first two after they broke down about 1 or 2 weeks into usage). The third one made it for another 9 months before falling apart.

My usage:
- I live in a 900 square foot apartment with approximately 600 square feet of carpeting. I own two persian cats (so yes they do shed). I am single ... so no kids to clean up after. I sweep once a week -- usually on Saturdays ... takes about 30 minutes to do the living room and the bedroom. Bathroom and Kitchen have tile floors ... so just use a mop to clean.

My complaints:
- The belts need changed after 2 hours of usage (about once every month).
- The sweeper contantly gets jammed up. Takes about 10 minutes to take apart and unjam.
- The plastic around the rotor brushes is very thin .. I guess so you can see through it or something (who knows). Anyhow, this started disintegrating about 6 months into ownership.

-Today the whole thing finally disintegrated, causing the rotor brush to jam and thus buring out the motor.

- To the good folks at Hoover. You just lost a customer. Never again will I purchase another of your products. I feel sorry for the small town dealers that rely on your products to earn a living. But I guess you sell junk in the name of corporate profits.

- Anyhow, I do not recommend this product to anyone. Period!

Sincerely,
