Summary: It Sucks! In a good way :)
Comment: I read the reviews and finally decided to go for it and get a decent vacuum, and it works great! The attachment hose is super powerful and the vacuum itself works much better than our old vacuum, plus it's lighter and quieter. Cleaning out the dirt is simple to do, and you don't have to get your hands dirty to empty it. There's even a sensor to tell you when you need to dust off the filter! I'm very pleased with my purchase and would definitely recommend this vacuum to other buyers.

Summary: So far, so good....
Comment: I've only been using this vacuum for about 2 months, but so far I love it. I love the rewind feature for the cord, as that was one of my least favorite things with my older vacuums... trying to wind that cord back up and unwinding it the next use. The collection cup empties with ease and doesn't make a mess in the process. I can't say anything bad about it.

Summary: WOW! Just Amazing for the price!
Comment: Forget the $300+ Dyson and other overpriced vacuums. This little sucker (pun intended) does a fantastic job without breaking the bank. I have three dogs - two of them long haired - plus two cats and this thing picks up pet hair like you would not believe!! It's simply unreal how much dirt and hair is in the canister after every cleaning. The auto cord rewind is a very nice feature, and the motor is quieter than any other vacuum I've ever owned. Also, no problem with dust emissions spewing into the air everytime I turn it on like my previous Fusion. All in all I couldn't be happier with this product. Don't hesitate - just buy it!

Summary: Great vacuum cleaner for the price
Comment: I really like this Hoover Upright Elite. The chord rewind is really convenient & the ease of emptying the dirt cup is just great! I was also pleasantly suprised at how quiet this vacuum is compared to my old Dirt Devil. The only thing I miss is there is no edge cleaner on this model but that wouldn't stop me from repurchasing this vacuum. Overall - great vacuum for the price!

Summary: This vacuum is unbelivable!
Comment: After being sick of junky vacuums that would either fall apart, overheat all the time, or just fail mechanically in some way, I did tons of research on vacuums and ended up going with this one. The main factors that make it so awesome are the incredible suction power, the manly workman-esque color scheme which matches my tools, the see-through bagless cyclonic chamber, the hepa filter, and of course the rewind power cord.

Pros: Firing it up for the first time, you will see dirt and dust that are inches away getting pulled into it. Right away, you know this thing has great suction and isn't taking any prisoners. This is a seriously powerful vacuum. I learned the hard way not to get it near any small loose wires like phone chargers or shoelaces; it tried to suck up an entire sneaker and I had to shut it down because it wouldn't let go! Later on, I got the hose wand near a box of tissues and it started sucking them out of the box one by one! This thing will try to pick up anything and everything, even its own cord. It rolls well, has ample cord length, lots of attachments and other goodies which clip on, a very clean and easy dumping of the dirt container, and is easy to take apart in case you need to change a filter or something gets stuck and clogs up somewhere.

Cons: Alot of people complain about the belts, and I have to admit that this was an issue for me when I first got it. Not realizing how powerful this vacuum is, having the brush height set too low will grind the spinning brush into a carpet and it will get stuck, stopping the belt in place while the cylinder that rotates it continues to spin. It wears right into the belt and starts smelling like burnt rubber and will trash the belt very quickly. I burned through a belt doing this not knowing that's what was going on. However, this is a positive thing because it shows the vacuum will work full speed until failure, even if it destroys itself in the process, which is admirable.

Half/Half: The build quality on this is very good and is overall solid, although some might argue the body plastic feels cheap and lightweight; I've slammed it around several times and it's taken a beating with no broken parts so far. The weight of this vacuum is average, although I can see how some people might say that it's too heavy for them; this vacuum is a beast afterall and does take some strength to use. There are no bad features about it, however the only issue I have with its form factor is that the top main handle can't be made longer, and this vacuum might be uncomfortable to use by very tall people after a short time. Some people have said this vacuum is loud, but it is average for a vacuum of this size. I personally like the roar this thing lets out because I know it's doing its job with all that power.

As for those who've said they loved this vacuum when they first got it, but it somehow started failing, I guess they don't realize that this isn't a piece of furniture. It's a machine with tons of moving parts and needs to be maintained and taken care of. All of the negative reviews I've read about this vacuum point to user error or abuse of the vacuum; most of the time unaware they are using it improperly.

Overall, this is a great vacuum at a great price. It has all the features you'd want, can take a beating, and eats dirt for breakfast with brute force.
