Hoover U5140-900 Tempo Widepath Bagged Upright Vacuum Top Quality


The vacuum itself is not too difficult to use. However, when I got the unit from Amazon, the tabs for the door housing the vacuum bag were damaged.

I was able to use it by somehow attaching the door to see how well it cleaned. It's not too bad, but I wasn't as excited as some of the other reviewers appear to be. Cleaning on bare floors is just the same as with some other vacuums. Even with the bare floor setting, it kept spitting back some of the dirt on the floor.

Cleaning on carpets is better, but it didn't remove all my dog's hair, and I still had to check the carpet to remove some manually.

It doesn't have a neat way of coiling up the cord.

It's not as easy to clean stairs as I'd have liked since the unit is fairly heavy.

On the plus side, for the price, I think the unit is adequate though. It did seem to do a relatively decent job on my carpet and I really liked how the carpet looked especially when I moved the unit toward me when vacuuming.

If my hopes had not been too high as a result of some of the reviews, I'd have probably liked the unit a whole lot better.

I do have to say that Amazon's return policy has been very helpful so far. They shipped me another unit to replace this. I'll be sending the original one back tomorrow using their RMA label.
