Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hoover Flair Bagless Upright Stick Vacuum with Power Nozzle, S2220
Customer Review: LOVE IT!
Summary: 5 Stars
Initially I wanted a cordless mini vac, but decided on this instead. I am so glad I did! The cord is really pretty long and you can go from room to room with it. I use it every day for my tile and area rugs. It does a great job getting up pet hair, dust, little odds & ends that end up on the floor. The canister is easy to empty, and the vac is really light weight. This almost makes cleaning fun - almost. It pivots and turns so smoothly and can get into small places a regular vac can't. Words really can't describe how great this works, just get it for yourself and see.
My only complaint would be that if you have a looped area rug like you might get at Target and put by the front door or in the kitchen, that has a snag, the "carpet" mode will suck it up and you'll have to stop and pull the snag out of the vacuum. If possible, cut any snags, or just get new rugs. You can also just use the hard floor setting on those rugs & that still works pretty well. Also, we have new carpet that is rather thick, and pills a lot. It clogged the vacuum, so I just use my regular vac upstairs on the carpet, and this little one downstairs on the hard floors and area rugs. Maybe after a while the carpet will stop pilling and I can use this vacuum on the full carpeting then. It really works great on the nicer more expensive area rugs & tile! I Love it!
Customer Review: No more sweeping!

I bought this vacuum about 6 months ago. My house is about 2500sqft and I have wood floors in most of it with carpet in 2 bedrooms and on the stairs. I have 2 inside cats. I hated chasing the pet hair/dust across the floor with my broom/dust pan and I hate sweeping in general. I also don't like getting out the big vacuum, and this thing is so light and easy to handle it's no trouble at all to get out for a quick clean up. I use it in every part of the house and rarely use my regular vacuum anymore. I almost bought one of those cordless stick vacuums, but after reading numerous reviews I decided that having to charge it all the time and only being able to use it for short periods at full charge would be a pain.
The Hoover Flair Bagless Upright Stick Vacuum with Power Nozzle, S2220is the perfect tool, it picks up all the dust and hair without the hassle of a broom and dust pan. Plus, if I want to use it on the carpet it works great there too. The filter is easy to empty and I try to empty it every few uses. I highly recommend this product, and the price is great because if/when it does die it's cheap enough that replacing it won't be an issue. In addition, I'm buying two more of these for Christmas presents for my Mom and my Mom in Law.
Customer Review: Better than expected!

I've purchased smaller, generally less-expensive vacuums in the past and have found myself disappointed and aggravated with the difficult cleaning process and the short life-span of the filters. The reviews of this vac had me hopeful but my past experiences left a bit of trepidation about the vacuum's performance.
I'm happy to report the vac is completely deserving of the praise and positive reviews. I bought it expecting to use it mostly on a few small area rugs in my apartment and not the hard floors. It absolutely does a great job on the carpets and an equally admirable job on the hard floors! I thought sweeping was easy but I haven't used a broom since this bad-boy arrived. I especially enjoy the swiveling head--so easy to maneuver! Cleaning is also really simple and the primary filter is washable! How great is that? No more searching for stupid and expensive filters that have been discontinued! Woot!
The only improvement I could imagine for this vac would be a carpet pile-height adjustment on the powered head. It sits pretty low so when I vacuum the carpets I have to be careful as it has a tendency to lift the carpet from the floor. Pretty minor complaint from an otherwise extremely effective (and stylish, which is great if you're like me and lack storage space) vacuum.
Customer Review: Woohoo to the little Hoov!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have always been a proponent of canister vacs. I have tried uprights and have found them to be just cumbersome and hard to manoever. I have 2 elderly cats, a 3 year old, a husband and am 9 months pregnant. Need I say more? I wanted something small, lightweight, easy and powerful. I thought that was too much to ask for, but thought I would give this vac a try. I am so impressed. Its small, swivel head works on carpets, hardwoods, throw rugs and seems to gladly gobble those annoying pieces of cat litter that follow me through the house regardless of how hard I try to keep them at bay. To keep the weight down, the vac is made of plastic - it feels flimsy, but is, in actuality, quite rugged. The bagless styling is appropriate for those who are looking for an environmentally friendly option. The one power switch goes from off to bare floors to rugs and is easily accessible without having to bend down. I consider this to be a must have for my grandparents who have had a hard time finding a vacuum that is easy to use and gentle on my grandmothers bad back. One caution - the rug beater is strong enough to chomp the ends of throw rugs. You just need to use the barefloors option when going over fringe or any delicate edging (it does not cause damage) - it just holds on like a pitt bull! This vac is a steal at $50!Customer Review: Better than a broom!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
PROS: I've owned this vac for over a year. It is the best thing to use to pick up kitty litter, dirt on hard floors, christmas tree needles, throw rugs and bathroom floors. Unlike a broom, this vacuum picks up all the debris on hard surfaces. Doesn't leave any fine dirt or grit behind. It's also great for throw rugs. You can vacuum using the beater brush or not. There is enough suction using the beater brush to clean throw rugs without it getting all sucked up into the inside of the beater.
Will surface clean carpet or stairs but this vac is not really designed to deep clean carpet. This vacuum is for quick clean ups and hard surfaces. I use it daily to clean up kitty litter.
CONS: A longer cord would be nice. Be careful where you lean this against because it does slide off walls. Try to lean in a corner. I haven't broken the cord keeper yet as some have indicated. Also a quick cord release would be great. Because I use this almost daily I tend to not use the cord winder hooks. Too time consuming without a quick release. The other feature that would be helpful would be a light. But at this price I can understand the short cord, no quick cord release and no light.
ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND. I WILL BUY ANOTHER ONE IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO THIS ONE.
