Hoover U5140-900 Tempo Widepath Bagged Upright Vacuum Best Quality


Just bought this and vac'd the house (3000 sq.ft.). If you go to BB or other big box retailer, you don't have much choice. This one is in between the cheaper dirt devils and more expensive Eureka's. This one is kind of self propeled. It will take off on thick orientals. Doesn't take off on bare wood floor. Seems to have very good suction. Don't expect much on the sides of the front that sticks out to go under cabinets. My 5 year Ricar is better but started leaving black spots on the wall to wall. The variable height carpet adjustment is nice. Don't like that the bag door does not fully close until vac is on. It kind of sucks it closed. Pumps out a ton of hot air. Would have liked a HEPA filter at the exhaust like the Eureka. Hoover shows a HEPA Y bag but the manual says to use Alergen Filtration Y bag. Manual is not much good for anything except a parts and accessories list. Good luck dressing the power cord up and thru the back plane on this thing. Bad design there. Much lighter than the Ricar or Eureka. Wifey likes that. Good long cord. If it lasts a year or 2, I will be happy. BB tries to sell you a 4 or 5 year warranty for $20. Overall, it's OK. I liked the design of the Eureka with HEPA filtration better but the wife wanted the light weight Hoover. At BB Eureka was twice as much money.Get more detail about Hoover U5140-900 Tempo Widepath Bagged Upright Vacuum.
