Agree with Consumer Reports
I thank Hoover for making this broom vac. It's easy to use, easy to clean and does an excellent job picking up fur from my three cats!!!
Consumer Reports rates it as #1 and I join them in their assessment.
The only problem is that it does not always vacuum right next to the walls and baseboards. An unvacuumed strip about 1/2 inch wide sometimes remains.

Amazing Value!
Despite the rave reviews here on amazon and on other sites, I was not expecting much with such a low price. My expectations were certainly rewarded with an amazing value, a great vacuum, and the usual Amazon speedy delivery. It is really hard to believe that such a good product could be so inexpensive, even if it is made in Mexico. The build quality is excellent. However, for someone tall, like me, (6'4") the handle is not long enough, the bag is on the small side, and the unit is noisy (but not any more so than other vacuums I have had that were 3x the price), but those are the only negatives after a week of use. Instead of smelling dust while vacuuming, the air coming out of the vacuum is actually fresher and cleaner smelling than the air in the room. Searching amazon, one can find belts for $3 or less and bags less than $1 in quantity, so the unit should be inexpensive to operate. If I get five years out of the unit, I will be more than satisfied.

Great Little Vacuum
Had to retire the 15 year old Hoover Runabout. Just took one too many beatings. I researched and researched, found this one and took it home. I have a 15 month old, a 2 1/2 year old, and two messy dogs, plus one husband. I LOVE THIS VACUUM! It's small, light, and sucks the heck out of dog hair and crumbs. I haven't tackled anything tough like cheerios or fruit loops, but the dogs mostly take care of those. I have all hardwood floors and vacuum almost everyday. Highly recommend!

top quality, NEVER ever pay full price
I don't even know where to start...Nearly three years after I came home from work and found out that I was the not-so-proud owner of a $2000 vacuum I'm still looking for reasons to justify my wife's purchase.

It is a top quality vacuum cleaner, though. I still look at it sometimes and think "Wow. That's a well-made piece of machinery." Reflecting on the quality is very soothing. It's all aluminum with a few high quality plastic parts. It's more durable and better performing than any vacuum used by professional house cleaners--and my wife actually is a professional ouse cleaner. But it's way to heavy and too expensive for any company to consider equipping there workers with.

It's like another one of my professsional grade power tools--and heavier than most of them. But this is not a problem for a small woman who only has to roll it around the house without repeatedly lifting it up, especially since it has a built in propulsion system to do the pushing and pulling for you. It feels sturdy and substantial, and the shampooer attachment works great.

My wife shampoos the carpets with it and wow what a difference. We have toddlers and dogs, and our carpets take a beating. I'm not familiar with all the attachemnts, but it looks like quite a project when my wife does the shampooing. The results are undeniable, though.

It's also great for restoring stinky smoker's matresses...Our friend gave us a free queen sized pillowtop that was hardly used, but it smelled like cigarettes and stunk up the rear half of the house. I memoved the odor by covering the mattress with a layer of carpet fresh and letting it stand for a day or two with the bedroom door shut. workied great

Great little vacuum - only for hard surfaces!
We bought this for doing our hardwood, tile & vinyl floors, and have been nicely surprised! It's inexpensively priced, and does a great job. The turbo brush works well on furniture; it's light enough to lug up and down the stairs.

This vacuum is like a super DustBuster, all grown up. It's lightweight, but more powerful than a DustBuster style, plus it has a HEPA filter and is easy to empty. But, other reviewers are right -- no good on carpets. Carpets really need an upright vacuum with a beater brush.

Now I have TWO vacuums. For years, I had a canister vac with an attachable beater brush, but I got tired of hauling it around. (If you have a canister, you know what I mean.) It was flexible, being good for both bare floor and carpet, but every time I switched floors, I needed to take on & off the beater brush. So I'd do all the bare floors, then add the attachment and do the carpets. I really like my current arrangement: this Euro-Pro Shark for bare floors, and an upright for carpets, both lightweight. I just haul out whatever I need, and there's no need for an equipment change.
