Low Price Hoover U5140-900 Tempo Widepath Bagged Upright Vacuum


I bought this vacuum, immediately tried it, did not like it, and tried it again almost 3 weeks later just to be sure.

Pros:
*After one time of vacuuming, my apartment carpet floor is cleaner than I have ever seen it before. (No need to go over the same spot multiple times). --And I have a short haired cat that sheds a lot. (which was piled up on my carpet, leftover from my old vacuum).
*Unofficially self-propelled. Maybe not technically, but the brush is so strong that when I leaned it against my stomach in the on position, it pulled itself forward and vacuumed for 3 feet, moving away from me while I stood still.
*Cleans fairly close to my walls.
*Light weight and easy to lift when off.
*I read reviews that said the cord or attachments kept falling off while stored or vacuuming, but I did not have this problem.
*No bad smell; loud, but not intolerably loud.

Cons:
*It is much harder to pull it backwards (as is done in basic vacuuming). Very comparable to when you are walking a large, excited dog, it pulls you forwards, but it is hard to pull it backwards. My arm was tired after cleaning half of my small living room.
*I only briefly used it on bare floors, right by my front door, but it kicked the dirt back onto my carpet.

I plan to return this vacuum to the store, but will consider buying it back again if my next top 2 choices do not work better. (All of the top recommended vacuum cleaners, including this one, have drawbacks).

Summary: Buy this vacuum if you want really clean carpets, without going over the same spot on your carpet more than once; and don't mind putting a lot of physical work into pulling backwards while you vacuum.Get more detail about Hoover U5140-900 Tempo Widepath Bagged Upright Vacuum.
