Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hoover 5507-900 Elite Auto-Rewind Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner
Customer Review: TWO YEARS STRONG
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this vacuum for two years now so figured it was finally time for a review. In those two years I have had no problems. I have a dog who sheds a normal amount so I am vacuuming if not every week at least every other week. The clear canister makes it so simple to see when I need to empty. Every couple of months or so I take the HEPA filter outside and shake it out. I DON'T use any water on that part of the filter but do rinse the yellow part and the canister as a whole. The sucking power is strong and it has all the attachments I need. If you don't want the agitator rotating on your carpet while you use the hose then just tip the vacuum a little. I read tons of reviews before I settled on this one and I have been very happy. I never had instances of it kicking out dirt or fuzz like I have seen in some other reviews. Bottom line: I use this thing more than regularly and it has been great. Just take care of your product and clean the filters once in a while.Customer Review: Great vacuum for the price.
Summary: 5 Stars
Good: I was amazed at how much this thing picked up for a sub-$100 cleaner. We vacuumed with our Kenmore(over 5 years old, it worked well when it was new) and then immediately with this Hoover. Just doing a 10'x10' bedroom filled the canister twice. The powered attachment cleaned our couches extremely thoroughly. The vacuum was better than I thought it would be on tile and hardwood floors, but there was room for some improvement.
Bad: A fairly heavy vacuum. Our old one was a canister, so I was used to a lighter weight. I can still handle it easily, as can my fiance, but a couple pounds lighter would make going up and down stairs more convenient. Also, as previously mentioned, you have to be careful where you set the main cleaner when you use the tools, as it will keep spinning and can damage a rug.
Verdict: Fantastic buy for under $100. I'm giving five stars because I feel it deserves about a 4.5 and is currently at a 4.1.
Customer Review: This vacuum really sucks!

I used this vacuum to clean my apartment- which was supposedly already clean before I moved in... it scooped up so much dirt! The attachments are great, I use the brush to clean out the inside of the canister and the filters (no power, of course) and the other one to clean mattresses and other furniture. Never having to buy bags is definitely a good thing, no extra waste to the environment and no extra cost for you! It's great never having to wonder how full the canister is- you can see into it and determine when it's a good time to empty. Another great feature is that the cord has an automatic rewind, which makes the vacuum MUCH easier to put away and to move from room to room. Only con is that the bottom part continues to rotate when you use the attachments, make SURE you lay this baby down so that you don't ruin your carpet while cleaning smaller or more upright areas. All in all, great value for the money!Customer Review: Superb Performance

Having two different Eureka Optima's break within a six month period, I figured it was a sign to maybe try a different make and model. Then I saw this Hoover and figured I'd give it a try. I'll admit I was a little unsure at first because it was a little too big, especially for my apartment. But wow, was I surprised by it's performance and features. Setup was a breeze, took five minutes and a phillips screwdriver. The retractable cord is an awesome feature, but by far my favorite feature has to be how you release the dust cup. It's just common sense, but took forever for someone to realize "Hmmm, let's make it easy and prevent dirt going everywhere by having the cup release from the BOTTOM!" And you can do so one handed, with the flick of your thumb. Storage is the same as my old Optima, it's just a little taller, but I can tell this badboy is going to be around for a long long time. Five stars all the ways!Customer Review: Best Hoover yet...
Summary: 5 Stars
My first brand new vacuum - unusual to say at age 46, but I've always inherited my mom's cast-offs (always Hoover) which have always lasted for years. This vacuum is primo. Suction is great and the auto rewind cord is awesome. I like the on/off switch being foot controlled (toe controlled) - it's just well designed and easy to handle. I think the folks who were burning up belts just needed to adjust the "carpet height" knob - it is pretty sensitive. I experimented starting with the highest (least pull) and ended up at 3 for my carpeted rooms and area rugs. You just can't go wrong here. I recently repaired a friend's Dyson (dog chewed the plug off the end) and was amazed at how cheap and flimsy it felt compared to this new Hoover (or any of the other Hoover's I've owned). Hard to believe folks would pay upwards of $400 for a vacuum when you can get something like the Hoover Elite for $100.
