Hoover U5507-900 Elite Auto-Rewind Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner

Not worth (2009-07-04)
I am a person who trust the user reviews and blindly buy the product if it has good reviews. But that turned wrong on this product. I wonder how people gave 5 star rating for this product. It doesn't solve the purpose at all. The motor is so weak. You can hear its struggle as you move it. And obviously the suction force is very feeble. The only pros is the auto-rewind feature, which is really good. I had an Eureka prior to this, which was very powerful with self-propulsion, and a knob to switch between hose and floor. It is better to have both separate so the suction power would be great. It wasn't expensive either, I don't remember the price but it was almost close to this hoover's price. I wish I bought the Eureka again. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

You Can Not Go Wrong with a Hoover (2009-07-03)
The suction is quite powerful, handle very nicely, perfect for someone my size (5'2"). I wish the electrical cord was a bit longer. I am very happy with my Hoover (the previous vacuum had been a Dyson). It would've been nice if the vacuum had arrived sooner than the 13 days!

Why pay hundreds of dollars? (2009-06-30)
I got this for a steal and it would be worth the full price. It is very powerful and the bagless feature is easy to use.

Be careful if you purchase this product. The price is decent, but you have to keep it moving or it could cause damage to flooring. I luckily read about this issue from a reviewer who damaged the floor when letting the vacuum sit on unprotecting flooring while using the accessories. I vacuumed new but inexpensive carpeting with it and the amount of carpet fibers in the container blew my mind. Even at the highest setting. It is pretty heavy, and if you leave it sit for more than 10-15 seconds on a single spot it could cause damage. Use the highest setting on carpeting and keep it moving.

Wanted to like it, but... (2009-06-29)
I wanted to like this vacuum because it has all the basics right. It has the attachments you would expect, including a pet hair vacuum for the extension. It's bagless and the canister is easy to empty and clean. The filters are also easy to remove and clean. It was cheap. It has good sucking power... at least at first.

No matter how much I cleaned the filters, this vacuum would not suck anymore. It only lasted about a year. I took apart the filters and made sure they were spotless. I didn't see any other blockages or stuck parts. It just lost all its power! I even took it in for repair, and they said it was worthy of the dumpster.

If you have a lot of pet hair, don't get this vacuum. I'd only recommend it if you want something cheap and you don't vacuum that often. Otherwise, get a nice, heavy-duty vacuum from someone like Riccar.
