Customer Review: You think your house is clean?
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow! What a vacuum! My husband and I just bought this vacuum for $99.99 at Best Buy (we used a gift certificate from a boss, so it didn't cost us a penny), the other day. I researched a boatload of vacuums, because ours was a scandal (as my mother-in-law fondly referred to it), so we needed something good. We'd narrowed it down to 3, including this one. The selling point for me was the washable filters (no expensive semi-annual filter purchases to consider) and the rewindable cord, plus all the attachments. There is something similar to the "Power Paw" which is a feature of other vacuums, however, the attachment on the Hoover does not rotate at the brush like it does on other brands/models. I didn't find this to be a problem.
When the rep. asked if I wanted the additional warranty, my gut reaction was to say "no", but then she asked me to consider:
1. She does not get commission/awards for selling the warranty.
2. The ext. warranty is $20 (gift certificate = costs me nothing).
3. If the vacuum loses suction in 3.89 years (or if I just think it does), I can bring it in and get $100 toward my newer, shinier vacuum.
Enh...no skin off my nose, I guess. Sure! (Mark calendar for 3.89 years down the road when vacuum "loses suction".)
The real test: We brought the vacuum home. My husband assembled it - by default, that means it was exceedingly simple to assemble (husband is a lover, not a fighter - he does not deal well with machinery). We thought our carpets were pretty clean. We didn't think this because we are such cleaning machines...we thought this because his mother (who IS a cleaning machine) cleans our house with HER vacuum cleaner, because she thinks ours is/was a waste of space. (Hey, I can't argue with that.) What came out of our carpet would make Pigpen jealous. Honestly, if I were a conspiracy theorist, I would believe that someone from Best Buy planted that dirt. I could NOT believe that so much dirt came out of what appeared to be a clean carpet!
My mother-in-law didn't believe me. Afterall, she'd cleaned those carpets herself, right? They must be perfect. So, I gave her the reigns and let her give it a try in a different room. She was disgusted...and convinced. She went out that day and bought the same vacuum.
Oh, and let's talk about cat hair. The first room that we vacuumed was a room that the cat does not enter. We did that because we didn't want skewed results. Our next challenge was to vacuum the cat's favorite spot. It didn't look too bad - sure, there was a little cat hair, but nothing that you wouldn't expect to find in a pet's favorite spot. What came out of that spot was unbelievable. Add some eyes and teeth to it, and we could have had a whole new pet!
Emptying the canister is a cinch (once you figure out how to do it properly). One bit of advice - use a trashcan with a large mouth. I used a petite, designer bathroom trashcan the first time, and I made a big, fat mess. From now on, it's the kitchen trashcan for me.
I am preaching the gospel of the Hoover Elite Rewind! For a mere c-note, you can't go wrong. My husband and I really look forward to vacuuming now. Sick, we know.
If I were going to go looking for flaws, I would say that the vacuum has tipped on me while using the crevice cleaner. Perhaps it's not as flexible as it could be. The vacuum is also a little heavy at 23 lbs., but hey...for this kind of suction...I'll work out!
Interestingly, we bought our last vacuum online, and I wonder if that's where the problems came into play. Part of me wonders if online product sits in storehouses and wastes away until someone purchases it. With this product, however, I don't think it's been on the market long enough to peter out in a storehouse somewhere. I'd feel safe buying it online, but I will say, given my last vacuum experience, I'm glad to have that extended warranty...just in case.
So, there you have it. It's my new joy in life - to have a husband who has a fascination with the vacuum cleaner, and to get some kind of twisted joy out of vacuuming. As another reviewer stated, you will wonder how you could even place your feet on your carpet before you had this vacuum. You think your carpets are clean? Think again, June Cleaver!
