Heads Fall Out Of Wand
I don't even know how the vacuum works since I didn't bother turning it on once I saw that none of the attachments fit into the wand. I bought this for my cleaning business thinking I was getting a good brand and great deal. I was wrong. Shame on Hoover for having this issue for so long and not addressing it.

Can’t get parts
I have to say up until I have loved this vacuum. I have three. The toggle clip broke that holds down the top to the canister. The replacement part has been discontinued yet they are still selling the vacuum. I bought all three in the last year and now can’t get a replacement part. Wasted money and for a small business owner it’s a big deal

Looking for parts :(
Good vacuum. Works as advertised. My mom bought 10 years ago and still uses it to clean a multi-story house. Only complaint is difficulty finding parts. My Mother m has been trying to replace the white leather electric cord restraint for a bit now with no luck.

Outstanding Machine | 5 Years Later
I bought this vacuum in 2019. I love it. It's loaded with power and super easy to clean when full. The dirt holder is clear so you see exactly what you've vacuumed up. It has several attachments that are super useful. I only have one minor complaint and that is that the floor brush you attach doesn't stay on until you are done. It slips off too easily. I wish they would...

Awesome vacuum.
I've had one for a couple years. I chose this one over the big name commercial vacuums because of the price and word of mouth from other cleaners. I added the sidewinder kit. This is a powerful, reliable vacuum. Never had an issue with this vacuum. The harness is not as comfortable as the big name ones, ideally could be improved, but it lasts awhile if treated well.

Good vacuum But TOO Heavy and Bulky for our Workers
The vacuum has excellent features and vacuums good but we have close quarters in some areas making it difficult to maneuver without knocking things off of desks. It is also heavier than expected even when correctly positioned on their backs. We are returning it because it doesn't meet our needs.

Hoover Shoulder Vac
This is the third one of these I have bought from Quill and can’t say enough good things about the Backpack Vacuum. It is easy to maneuver when its on light and is powerful enough to pick up everything on hardwood floors. That being said Quill is a great company to deal with. There was a question that arose with my original order and Quill was prompt in resolving...

No customer servicer from Hoover
I bought this item for my personal home use because of the greatly discounted price. When it arrived I found that the tools didn't fit the wand. The tools OD was smaller that the wand ID. I tried contacting the Hoover service department but was never able to get through both on the phone and by email. I was able to fashion some sleeves for the tools so that they would ...

Great Vacuum Cleaner
This vacuum is powerful and easy to use in open areas. Very powerful suction. The long cord prevents constant stop and change outlets: I can almost vacuum my whole house without changing outlets. The attachment tools are a bit tricky; took a while to figure out how to get them on and off (no instructions in the manual on this) still don't know if I'm attaching them corr...

Vacuum cleaner
I like the vacuum. It is probably a little heavy for my 125 lb. frame but my back didn't hurt. I did back in to a bunch of things on my first try. I didn't find the suction to be all that strong--not like the reviews said it was.
