"Heavy" 2010-03-03
By Telstar (Los Angeles, Ca USA)
I am actually sorry I got this. It is, IMO, quite heavy for a cordless vac to do pick ups with. I have a Eureka Quick Up cordless that is half this weight. It is so easy to maneuver.

This has somewhat more suction and contains more in the cup, but it is not worth twice the money and weight. I do like the charger base.

The folding design is great for space, but makes using it awkward. With the Quick Up I could just grab and go.

"A great kitty litter picker upper" 2010-02-11
By M. Massoni (Sacramento, CA)
This works exactly as I hoped it would. My cat manages to spread litter all over the place despite my best efforts to keep it contained. This vacuum quickly and easily picks it up, is easy to handle and to empty. It's a real life and time saver for me.

"Great cordless vacuum" 2010-02-10
By Patrick S. Di Staso (San Francisco, CA)
Does well on floors and rugs. I like the switch to turn the brushes on and off. The only issue is that it is difficult to remove the filter and not get dirt all over the place. Sort of defeats the purpose of vacuuming. Need to remove it over a garbage pail but it is cumbersome.

"Great Little Vaccum" 2010-02-05
By MalHunt (Pennsylvania)
This is a really nice little vacuum, very versatile for small jobs. We use it on hardwood floors and well as rugs and has pretty good suction power and is very easy to glide on carpet of rugs when bristels are turned on...seem that the rotating action help propel it forward. We seem to be vacuuming more often given the size and portability. Highly recommended for small jobs or apartments.

The con I see is the capacity.....remember, this is not a big Vacuum, but as long as you do not mind emptying it after each vacuum, you should be fine

"No brainer - fantastic vacuum" 2010-03-04
By V. Sudarsan (Bay Area, Calif)
Don't write many reviews but this item warrants 5 stars and I feel compelled to write a note on it. It works great - the suction is really strong for a cordless, rechargable unit; and the pivoting action is very useful. The filters need replacement every few months depending on the extent of clogging. We run it 3-4 times a day for about 2-5 min each time - mainly to clean dry food spills. It has been great in the car as well. We've owned 2 other handheld vacuums - the kind you plug into the car charger - they were pretty useless. I'll buy this again without thinking twice.

Cheers.

"Great value for a vacuum" 2010-03-08
By Anthony Ho (Portland, OR)
This is one of the lowest-priced bagless upright HEPA vacuums available on the market. In the 2 months since first using this vacuum, I have have been very pleased with its performance. It's very good at picking up stuff in my carpet. The only nitpicks I have are that the dirt cup is small compared to other vacuums I have owned/used, and emptying it requires exposing the lower filter to some debris dropping down into it. Other than that, this Bissell is reasonably powerful, easy to use, easy to assemble, and reliable. The furniture brush works well. For the money, this vacuum is hard to beat. It is an excellent value and well worth your consideration.

"Almost got caught up in the hype..." 2010-03-05
By A. Hargett (Philadelphia,PA)
This vacuum is great! It took less than 5 minutes to assemble. And it worked MUCH better than I expected it to. I almost got wrapped up in the vacuum cleaner hype. The more expensive it is, the better it is...or so "they" say.

I went to the store with intentions of buying the Shark Navigator ($200) because of the great reviews on Amazon. But I wanted a "turbo brush" type of attachment because I think that is the best tool for getting pet hair off of furniture. Shark Navigator didn't have the turbo brush so I went with this one instead.

My BLACK cat likes to lay on a WHITE pillow that sits on my bed, which I have since let him have lol. Well this thing got pretty much all of the cat hair off of the pillow. It went from being gray to being white again! And don't get me started about all of the dirt I was able to get off of the floor!

I have a friend that has a Bissell Pet Hair Eraser that he thought was awesome, but this is basically the same vacuum with one less attachment (which I don't think you'll miss) and it costs almost half as much. Save your money and BUY THIS VACUUM!!!

Pros:

-Turbo brush attachment is great for pet hair.

-Not too heavy (I'm pretty petite and I could carry this up the stairs if I needed to)

-Can't beat the price!

-Canister is easy to empty

Cons:

-I didn't really want to have to replace filters but the filter only costs about $5 so that's reasonable.

"*****Unbeatable for the money*****" 2010-02-27
By Sarwat Ezzeldin (Irvine, CA, United States)
After reading a lot of reviews, doing some extensive price comparisons, I decided to give this vacuum a try from Amazon. Now that I've used it for almost three months, I can say that I did very well.

Out of the box, and in two minutes it was ready to role. I was shocked to see the mount of dirt accumulated from my two carpeted rooms. This thing is so powerful and it really sucked the dirt out of the carpet. It has the furniture attachment which also works great. Noise level is a little more that I like, but I've seen much worst. It has a super easy to empty dirt container. I have yet to change the filter, but I can tell it is also an easy task. For the price, this is unbeatable.

"Powerful, versatile, lightweight - just a power hog" 2010-02-23
By Jonathan Levi (Mountain View, CA)
Before I go any further, if you are considering buying this vacuum, DO IT!

It's a powerhouse, it has a ton of attachments that will impress you (like a mini bristle-rotating turbo brush that will be great for stairs, rugs, etc), and it's light weight will encourage you to use it EVERYWHERE. Also, I love that it's bagless, and that I can see right through to how much shmutz I've collected. It gives you a sense of accomplishment ;)

The only downside is that is consumes a lot of power. Which produces a LOT of heat. I don't recommend using it while wearing a jacket, because you'll roast. Also, I have blown fuses and had to run to the garage more than once, but that's the price you pay for such a powerful product.

"You'll definitely get your money's worth" 2010-03-06
By T. Tortorici (Atlanta)
Tired of picking up bits of dirt by hand that your vacuum missed? You won't be doing that with this Eureka. Great suction, for a terrific price. What we didn't realize when we bought it is, this vacuum has a forward motion, like a powered lawn mower. So it glides forward with little effort, however pulling it back means pulling against that forward motion, which I found to be a struggle. But my wife figured out that you just need to push the handle downward a bit while pulling back, and that lifts the vacuum off the floor so there's no forward motion. Handle up/glide forward, then handle down/pull back. Easy once you get the hang of it. Actually it would be a little easier if the handle was a little longer, then you wouldn't have to bend over when pushing down on the handle (probably not a problem if you're under 50). In any case, we're thrilled to finally have a vacuum that really sucks (in a good way).

"Love this machine" 2010-02-27
By K. Manuel (Winchendon, MA)
So I went online to the reviews on vacuum cleaners and this was at the top of the list, so I continued on my mission reading and researching machines and all good things regarding this machine. So I purchased it and it came really quickly through Amazon. Easy to assemble and the suction is incredible when you turn the machine on it just wants to go, it is alittle heavy but not as heavy as my Dirtdevil. I am very pleased with my purchase but some reviews are correct my machine was missing the Power Paw Clip so I can't put my power paw on the machine, its just laying around the house, and the step pedal to recline the vacuum is quite hard to release so I am sure that will break before the vacuum. But other wise the price was great for this machine and I can't brag more about the suction! WOW.

"This thing sucks, but in a good way!" 2010-02-24
By Gary R. Klosterman (Franklin, OH USA)
I bought this as a refurbished unit. I couldn't tell. It looks and runs as brand new, but at half the cost. I replaced a 4 year old bagless vac. There's no comparison when it comes to cleaning power. This vacuum has tons of sucking power. It actually cleans my floors. The only negative is it did not come with the power brush, but that's no biggie. The included attachments work fine for me.

"Damn Heavy" 2010-02-23
By D. Larsen
Works well. Cleans well. My one big complaint is that the thing is very heavy. We've had it for almost a year now. We live in a two story house. My wife bought a separate cleaner for upstairs so she doesn't have to lug this thing up and down. If it matters to you, pay attention to the weight. Significantly heavier than our old Sharp (which was wonderful, but now broken and Sharp doesn't seem to make vacuums any more). Also heavier than all the current Best Buys on Consumer Reports (3/2010).

"Heavy, hard to push and maneuver" 2010-02-17
By Timothy C. Mayr (Hauppauge, NY USA)
I expect an upright vacuum to be fairly easy to use and maneuver. This vacuum is very hard to push, heavy, and not maneuverable at all. The foot release is also so stiff my wife was unable to push down hard enough to release it, which I consider to be a major defect, since the vacuum can't be used without releasing the foot lock.

I returned it, and I'll look for one that's lighter and easier to use.

"Great for the price." 2010-03-04
By Jim B. (SouthCarolina)
We picked this up after reading that this was recommended by Consumer Reports. It works way better than my old vacuum and is not that much louder than the old one either. If you've researched this at other places like I did, you may see that it comes with a check bag indicator...well, it doesn't. I expected a check bag indicator and called Hoover when the vacuum arrived without one. The Hoover rep said that the newer models don't have an indicator. This vacuum has the switch on the body, I never realized how convenient the foot switch was until I got this. I usually have a baby in one arm so a foot switch would be more convenient.

"This is not the product you think it is!" 2010-03-04
By John Smith
This is not the product you think it is. The picture and schematic for this item are both WRONG. Hoover has changed the product but left the model number the same. The new revised unit is not the same old beloved vacuum to which all the reviews prior to 2010 are referring. This version is a cheap imitation of the former. This "revised" model features:

- NO Headlight

- NO Bag Indicator

- NO hose coupling dust cover

- CHEAPER plastic

- CHEAPER carpet brush

- CHEAPER hose

- SHODDIER construction

- INCORRECT user manual

It still has the same amount of suction but because of the cheaper brush it doesn't really get down into the carpet like the old one. It just glides on top over the carpet. The cheaper hose is a real problem, because if you ever suffer the misfortune of kinking the hose once you will never get it un-kinked again. The lack of headlight is not a big deal, but the picture shows it has one and some people may need this feature. The missing bag indicator means you have to keep stopping and checking the bag to see if it's full. The plastic parts are made from a cheaper flimsy plastic. This makes the unit lightweight but it also means not everything fits together properly, for instance several of the attachments are misshapen. The old unit used to have a dust cover so when you used the hose it would not spew dust into the room (because the brush keeps turning). The "revised" model has no dust cover so you better get ready for a face full of dirt if you pull the hose out over a dusty area. The general construction of the unit is sub-par compared to the old version. In fact, the user manual is still from the old version, meaning the assembly instructions are incorrect for the revised version. You will have to figure out for yourself where to route the power cord on the rear of the chassis.

The vacuum does still work, has strong suction, and works well on carpet if you put it on the lowest height and really dig into the carpet. But you can probably find something better for your money. And Amazon should update their product photos!

"As you get older" 2010-03-03
By T. Fiala (Morton Grove, Il United States)
My mother-in-law is in her 80's so I try to help out where I can. A while back I offered to vacuum her place. She had a bagless dirt devil that she was unable to use due to limited mobility in one of her hands. The cup that held the dirt was even hard for me to change without significant effort. We bought her the Hoover Tempo U5140-900 upright and solved her problem. Yes, she again has to change a bag once in a while, but at least she can use it. It is light weight and easy to use. The price was very economical too. She has regained a little measure of independence.

"Only one "con", but it's a biggie." 2010-01-04
By K. Rambo
For close to a year, I used this vac daily and loved it. It's easy to maneuver and did a sufficient job picking up cat litter and various dirt and small objects. However after about 8 months I noticed a significant decrease in suction as it took multiple passes to pick up simple dirt/litter from hardwood and linoleum. As it approached the one-year mark, after 1-2 minutes of use you could audibly hear the charge drop off. The problem here is the rechargeable battery is not replaceable, so a whole new unit is needed every year. Supposedly the new Accucharge model overcomes this limitation, so I'll be buying one of those soon.

"Maybe I got a lemon..." 2009-12-23
By Tom from Thousand Oaks (CA)
I purchased this item based on some excellent reviews here but it was a huge disappointment. I have been meticulous about cleaning the filter and cup, but the suction is very weak. It will pick up dust and tiny dirt particles, but anything larger (e.g., toast crumbs) is either not picked up or requires multiple swipes or is picked up momentarily and then falls back to the floor. I never expected a stick vac to pick up large items or handle heavy dirt, but this one doesn't perform even light cleaning. We recommend you preserve the packaging and test it thoroughly in case you need to return it as we did.

"Bad Battery" 2009-11-10
By dove song (Shawano, WI)
I bought this in July 09 and by the end of October 09 it only holds a charge for about 2 minutes. I loved it when it worked. I used it everyday and cleaned the filters after every use then returned it to it's charger. I guess I expected a $50 vac to last longer than three months. My understanding is that the battery is not replacable. I have contacted Dirt Devil and am waiting for a reply but I don't have great expectations because battery is not listed on their warranty.
