Hoover U5140-900 Tempo Widepath Bagged Upright Vacuum Top Quality

After reading the reviews in Consumer Reports & Amazon, I decided to give this Vac a try since my more expensive Hoover Wind Tunnel decided to go to an early grave. It arrived yesterday and with great anticipation of being able to almost suck up the carpet, I attached the handle, screwed it on and was ready to go! I made sure there was a bag in the vac and noticed it had a tear in it. Well, jeez....ok, no problem...a little duct tape and voila! So, I get it set up in my front room, turn it on and WOW! It really does have powerful suction! Not more than 5 minutes into my whole house cleaning frenzy, the brush stops spinning. WHAT???? So I took it apart and sure enough, the belt was snapped in half. Not good. Guess I didn't want to clean anyway. Today, I got a package of belts, installed it and the cleaning frenzy began. The old belt may have been defective but the vac sure isn't. Yes, it is loud and it has no whistles and bells but I got it to suck up dog hair and it is doing just that. It doesn't weigh very much either. I can carry it up my staircase with one hand. Do I recommend this vac? Sure do. For the price, it can't be beat. Also, be sure to get some Y Vac bags since this only comes with one and I guess it wouldn't hurt to get some extra belts as well.
