Summary: buy this vac
Comment: I bought this vacuum as a "touch up", in between the cleaning crew, vacuum. I have Kirbys and Hoovers and Kenmores. This little thing out performs them all. I was not expecting such performance. I have only had it for a week so I cannot speak on long term satisfaction but I can say my expectations were very much surpassed.

Summary: I was living with filthy carpets and never knew it!!
Comment: I got the Hoover s3765-040 after extensive research - I have a toddler and a 125-lb Golden Retriever, so I needed a good machine. I read all of the reviews about how the canister filled quickly, how heavy it was, etc.; but I am SO glad I bought this vacuum!!

I "cleaned" my carpet with my old vacuum (Hoover Spirit), and then used the new one. I could not belive the filth that this picked up! The first time I used it, the cup was filled after cleaning a carpet space about 10X15 feet with dust, dirt, old carpet fibers, dog hair . . . I became concerned, thinking I would have to empty this thing constantly while cleaning, but after the first few times I used it, the space I was able to clean got larger and larger without having to empty it. I think I am finally "catching up" and getting the deep dirt out.
After a month, my rugs feel like they have been steam-cleaned after each vacuuming.

It also does a great job on hard floors as well. The small brush attachment does a great job on stairs - but wear glasses or goggles - I have had things thrown up into my eyes/face twice when using it.

The only downsides:
1. I had to find a home for the larger attachments that don't fit into the small compartment;
2. It would be nice if the carpet cleaner would stand upright when not in use;
3. I think I am going to need to buy a spare filter - the one has to be cleaned frequently, but, again, maybe it is because I am still "catching up" with cleaning and this too shall pass.

Summary: Awesome for stairs and pet hair!
Comment: After much research, I bought this vac which is in addition to a 5 or so year-old Hoover Upright Windtunnel bagged vac (which replaced a Kirby). I love the upright and the windtunnel suction, butwe have moved and now have very thick, high pile carpet in the bedrooms and the carpet height adjustment just wasn't tall enough PLUS we also now having stairs, I needed a better/different vac. I had tried my mother's Electrolux Oxygen canister vac a year ago and liked it, but I wanted to stick with Hoover. We have two dogs, two cats and two kids, so I need a workhorse vacuum! I originally was against bagless, but the bagged model similar to this one said the bags were hard to find, so THIS model became my choice due to having stairs and not needing to adjust the nozzel height. Ordered it on Wednesday night, it arrived Saturday morning--woohoo!!

This is an amazing vac! The little suction-powered stair attachment works wonderfully! Very nice on stairs and does take cat hair off furniture very easily! Yay! The unpowered brush of the upright extension did an ok job, but I had to go over it several passes. (and I vac at least every other day and the furniture about twice a week). The auto adjustment height for the power nozzle is wonderful and very easy to use controls right on the handle-SMART DESIGN! I can go from the thick pile carpet w/o dragging or "burning" the carpet (like the upright did) and move right to the hard floors with only one touch of the very convienent "brush on/off" button. I was skeptical about the varying power strengths, but I am sold now...you can put the nozzle on a rug, turn it on low or medium power and clean the rug w/o either 1-sucking up the rug, 2-burning the rug up with a stuck beater bar, or 3-bust/burn a belt along with #1

Summary: House full of Pets and Hoover does great!
Comment: I have been using this Hoover for about a month now. We just moved into a home with hardwood floors and a canister vac seemed to be a must. This is the first canister we have ever used, and I have to say, I see no reason to ever own an upright again.

The suction on this thing is amazing! I LOVE that all the controls are right there on the handle and you can set the suction to high medium or low. I also LOVE the fact that vacuum is easily adjustable so even my 8 year old can manouver it easily.

We have 6 dogs and 4 cats here, so everyday vacuuming is the only option. I have yet to have any type of clogging issue that I would surely have experienced with my upright by now.

To address some of the comments about having to change the container every few days/weeks/months...I don't understand. As a personal choice, I change the container every day before vacuuming and sometimes even during a particlarly fur infested room. I have alwasy done this with my bagless vacuums. That is why you are buying a bagless...to get the most suction as possible and thus a cleaner home. If you are complaining because you have to empty the canister after 5 vacuums, than I am afraid you are not seeing the benefit of owning a bagless which is to get **rid** of the dust immediately not only for your health but to ensure you get the most bang for your buck out of your bagless.

Also, I think that as far as bagless vacuums go, the container is one of the easiest to empty. It comes out nicely, and I do not have to touch anything dirty to empty it, which is not the case with all bagless!

The only cons I see to owning this vacuum is the floor accessory tool does not stand upright on its own without careful placing and not all of the tools have a storage place on the vacuum. (I keep them in a plastic bag hanging from a doorknob) But honestly, it would only make awesome vacuum perfect and would in NO WAY prohibit me from buying this exact same model again. I love when a product delivers, and I really feel like that is the case here.

This was money well spent!

Summary: One healthy sucker!
Comment:
I bought this vacuum to replace a 20 year old Hoover Spirit that died only because water was spilled on it. I'm glad I did my research and picked this one! It is terrific. It quieter than the old Spirit and seeems to pick up more dirt. Indeed, the small dirt cup would be annoying in a large home, but it is the pefect size for an apartment.

The pictures someone posted of the vacuum taped together seem crazy--I think that poor vacuum led a very hard life. The quality and finish of my machine seems like it would take a lot of abuse.
