Order Hoover U5140-900 Tempo Widepath Bagged Upright Vacuum

This is a very good vacuum. Loads of power and not that noisy. It does tip over when the accessories are used. But that is good because the brush always spins.

The cord is a little short, but just put a heavy gauge extension cord on it, or rewire it with the long cord from your old vacuum.

You have to unscrew 4 screws to change the bag - be careful so as not to damage the plastic holes. This is my biggest concern. I will be looking to replace the screws with a quick-off connector from the hardware store. I will then epoxy the quick connector in and be done with it.

It cleans quite well against the wall.

I think this vacuum is a stripped down model, same basic layout and, most importantly, same strong 12 amp motor.

The vacuum has no discernible smell when running - good filtration. It is not self-propelled, but the brushes pull it along so that it is not heavy to use. I prefer a bag over bagless personally.

It works good on tile - I would say a rating 7 of 10 on tile cleaning.

Overall, a 5 star for the price. I would put it up against any vacuum in terms of vacuuming carpet. If the dirt is gone, how much better can it be?

Excellent value. It is good out of the box and great with a few simple mods explained above.Get more detail about Hoover U5140-900 Tempo Widepath Bagged Upright Vacuum.
