Buying Hoover U5140-900 Tempo Widepath Bagged Upright Vacuum


If you're looking for an allergy vacuum, save money and get this one, because no vacuum really functions well for that purpose, no matter how expensive it is or how many HEPA filters it has.

Why? Because all portable vacuums that suck also blow. The greater the suction, the greater the velocity of the air they blow out. And the wind they create stirs up allergens from your floor and furniture into the air, where they float until you finish, then settle back on the floor and furniture.

So, for the money, this is a great little machine. I only have two complaints: first, I keep running over the electrical cord. You're supposed to be able to attach it up the back of the cleaner, but the picture in the instruction book is different from the vacuum, so I couldn't figure it out. I may just use a twist tie to secure it.

Second, the "bag full" indicator stopped working after I changed bags, but this is my third vacuum with an indicator, and none of them work, so I guess it's normal.

But it's a Hoover, it's powerful, and inexpensive. I recommend it.
