 "Quest for the Perfect Vacuum: SUCCESS at last!" 2010-04-08
By M. L. Tyre (Jacksonville, Florida United States)
As a person with serious mobility issues and a passion for clean floors, I've been looking for a vacuum that would perform up to my expectations, handle quantities of dog hair and dust on both bare floors and area rugs, and yet be light enough that I could handle it, and not injure myself in the effort. I've tried nearly everything, and without exception, nothing up to now worked out as I'd hoped. I've had various upright vacuums, including Kirby, Bissel and Dirt Devil, but after my back injury and advancing arthritis, such machines were too heavy for me to manage, and I found the excess teenager and dog hair caused frequent belt breaking. I switched to "stick-vac" type machines and tried assorted versions. Again, the weight became an issue, plus I was not satisfied with the suction or durability of these machines. They might work fine on the wood floors, but left my area rugs still coated with hair and dust. My attempt at the Roomba was a great thought, but the Roomba was no match for my four dogs. I spent more time cleaning hair and dust out of the machine than I did getting my floors clean. I tried a manual push sweeper, and even the Swivel Sweeper. They were great in theory, but the former's wheels and brushes gummed up too easily and were hard to clean out, and the latter had similar problems, plus the "cordless" machine would not hold a charge. I was beginning to believe I was doomed to shabby floors. Then I tried one last time here at Amazon. And I found the Hoover PortaPower!



What a wonderful machine! It's so light that even gimpy and disabled me can carry it (at least for short stints). If I get tired, I can always hang the machine on my rollabout walker. It's quiet too: my husband no longer feels the need to rush out of the house when I'm vaccuming. The machine is well made and sturdy, and I love the metal wands and selection of attachments (all easy to switch out in an instant.) I don't mind that the attachments are not stored "on board". I was always knocking them off when I had them that way on other machines. Now I put them in a little bag and can carry the bag from room to room as needed. I can get between and under furniture with ease with the long wand and slim profile..and the floor/rug head swivels well. I like the hose, too. It's not so long I might step on it or get it hung up on things as I move about the room, and like the rest of the machine, it's study and durable. I also like the long heavy-duty cord; I don't have to stop and change outlets all the time. With a 33 ft. cord I can plug in at a central location and reach all of the main areas of my house: living room, den, kitchen, hall, plus my bedroom, both bathrooms and laundry room. The PortaPower does a great job on the area rugs...no more coating of hair and dust! And on the wood floors it can't be beat. The reusable cloth bag is small, but holds a lot, and is easy to clean (no more paper filters!) I also ordered the disposable bags and adapter, and am very pleased. Changing the bags is a breeze, and I appreciate the cleanliness of the disposable option (dust cups might sound like a great idea, but they really are a pain, the filters wear out quickly, and dust flies everywhere when emptying.) Storing the machine is easy, it's about the size of a briefcase. The cord is stored by winding it up in looped bundle and securing it with a little strap on the vacuum's handle. A bit unwieldy, but not a deal breaker. Oh, and speaking of handles: the "on/off" switch is within easy reach, and one can either use the shoulder strap or carry the vacuum by it's handle on top of the machine. Whatever feels more comfortable for you (remember: the machine is very light!) I really cannot say enough good things about this product. It's given me the independence to keep my floors up to my standards, and that makes me very happy. Highly recommended!

 "Great suction for those who hate uprights" 2010-03-16
By Michael D. Lindsey (Columbus, OH)
I just received my new Hoover Commercial Portapower, and quickly put it to work on my heavily dusty rugs, hard-wood floors and furniture. I love it. I put the shoulder strap on, attach the correct attachment, and I'm off. I cleaned my whole apartment in about an hour - all with just one bag change.



If you hate uprights, like I do, this may be the vacuum cleaner for you. It reminds me of my old Kenmore Canister that died about 5 years ago, after 20 years of great performance. I have since had two TERRIBLE uprights, that I am now ready to chuck in the trash.

 "My Favortie Vacuum" 2010-02-28
By Pamela Costa
This little hoover was for my aunt. I have one, my daughter has one, most of my friends have one because we all love it so. My aunt wanted a small sweeper for the steps and was going out to buy one. I told her that I would order one for her and that she would love and she does.

It has really great suction, the best of any sweeper I have ever used and it has a very long cord, which makes if great for ceilings and steps and it is not very heavy.

I bought one like it in 1971 and pretty much wore it out, though it still works, the hose were getting very loose and replaced it with a new one in about 2005.

Love it.

 "replacing my 30 year old hoover portable" 2010-02-19
By Nancy Herrera (Kentucky)
I have had my Hoover Portapower vacuum for 30 years now, YES- 30 years! Still works great, but have had to use tape to hold the wands together ( connection finally wore out after 30 years)....and had replaced the cloth bag two years ago. WE USE THIS THING FOR EVERYTHING...from floors, to walls, to cars and furniture....you name, we have used it. My oldest daughter tried to take it with her when she got married last year....caught her! This thing is older than her!! She's 24, my vac is 30! It still sucks as good as it did the day I bought it 30 years ago! I am keeping my old one for the garage, but its time to get a new one for the house.....I wouldn't waste my hard earned money on any other brand.

Hoover is the only brand my parents used when I grew up, and that's all I have ever used. Their quality speaks for themselves. Looking forward to another great product from Hoover. I will not get rid of the old Portapower, as it still works well...just retiring it to the garage and bringing in a new one for the house!

 "Big Mistake" 2010-03-26
By Robert Brock (Naples, FL USA)
Received Hoover vacuum today -- easy to put together. Did not come with a hose tube cover (C). I called Hoover and after very lengthy wait was advised that they did not make that part for this model anymore. I explained that dirt, dust, etc. was escaping thru the tube cover while vacuuming upholstery. Their explanation was that I needed to use the vacuumn on high setting because the agitator brush was constantly spinning on this model. If I had known that up front, I would not have purchased it. After following their suggestion, the situation was barely improved. Additionally, it does not work effectively on tile or wood flooring. I have contacted Amazon and am waiting for their response.

I bought this after being disappointed with my Oreck vacuum and based on Consumer Reports recommendation. This vacuum is VERY heavy. I can hardly lift iT. Within the first week the belt broke. When I went to store to buy new belt, the worker said that a lot of people had the same experience.



Other wise I do like the pick-up..but that's about it.

 "Exhausts dirt & dog hair all over when using tools" 2010-03-04
By bicoastalmv (California & Massachusetts, USA)
I purchased this vacuum only after reading many reviews and learning that it was good for pet hair. I've had other Hoovers and have been a satisfied customer--until now.



# As with most uprights, to use the tools, the hose must be disconnected from the a rigid plastic tube that comes from the beater bar and through which dirt and dog hair are carried to the bag when it's being used as an upright.

# On this model, the beater bar never stops rotating (unlike other Hoovers I've had), so dirt, pet hair, and anything else that might be on the floor or carpet is continuously sucked through this tube regardless of whether it's in upright vacuum or tool mode or the machine is locked in the upright position.

# This model was originally made with a cap for the top of the tube when the hose has been disconnected, and it's illustrated in the manual. It's now been "redesigned" (in the words of the several Hoover CS people I eventually spoke to). Even though it's also obvious on the product that it once had a cap, the cap is no longer being shipped and isn't available.

# If the hose has been disconnected from the tube to use the tools, the action of the beater bar continues to suck up dirt, etc., through the open tube, propelling and distributing it in a great cloud throughout the room (that's probably just been dusted!).

# I called Hoover Customer Service four times. They told me to set the adjustment for the beater bar on high (further away from the floor or carpet) and that that would stop the machine from sucking up and redistributing dirt through the open tube and into the room. This doesn't solve the problem, and I don't even have deep pile carpet.

# It does have great suction--but in this instance, I'm not sure if this is the good news or the bad!

# The last Hoover CS person to whom I spoke and also I asked to take back the product refused, saying that the vacuum worked as it was intended to. Interestingly, each of the people with whom I spoke knew exactly what I was calling about without my needing to explain it. This suggests to me that I'm not the only one who has had this problem, despite their claim that it's working properly.

# Bottom Line: Hoovers aren't made as well as they used to be, and their Customer Service people won't deal with obvious performance problems. No more Hoovers for me.

 "pretty good but" 2010-03-02
By C L Smith (Wetumpka, Alabama)
Our old Bissell finally died and while researching a new vacuum, had a chance to use our daughter's Eureka Boss 4 D for 2 weeks. We were totally pleased with the Eureka but were afraid of the durability issues mentioned by a lot of the reviewers. After researching and reading reviews finally decided to purchase a Hoover Windtunnel Bagless Anniversary Edition a month ago. So here are the good and the bad...



The Good:

* Great suction- a disgusting amount of "stuff" is being picked up.

* Effective - the carpet looks clean and almost new again after vacuuming and the pile stands up and is "fluffy" again.



*It has a red / green light that tells you when that section of carpet is clean and when you need to keep working it.

* Although it's mostly plastic and the on/off slider button appears destined

to break over time, the cleaner overall looks and feels solidly built.

* The dirt basket is easy to remove and dump and designed so you don't get dirty dumping the dirt. It also has a crank that vibrates the smaller dust out of the filter.



The bad:

* Some small difficulty in adjusting the beater bar height. I can't just flick it with my toe to adjust.

* The pet hair rotating brush does not work well and if you put too pressure on it actually stopped working. The manual says don't apply so much pressure or it will stop! Poor design. We got disgusted and paid $20 for the Eureka Boss 4 D pet hair brush which fits the Hoover exactly...and works perfectly. You can scrub as hard as you want and it won't stop spinning. We purchased the brush online from Eureka.

* Heavy.

* Hoses aren't long enough to be very useful.



The Eureka also had a electro-statically charged "wand" that was useful for blinds, walls, ledges. You stick it back in it's holder and the dust is vacuumed off......the Hoover did not have this useful attachment.



All in all, the Hoovers we have had in the past have given us many years of faithful service and we are hoping for a repeat performance with the Hoover Windtunnel Bagless .



Purchased the Hoover from Amazon and got everything as promised when promised with free shipping.

 "Decent vacuum" 2010-03-14
By Jennifer__ (PA)
We purchased this vacuum in August 2009 when we adopted a dog that sheds A LOT. The vacuum works great as long as we clean the HEPA filter every couple months. Every time I clean the filter there is plenty of very fine dirt, so I'm satisfied it's doing its job. The only complaints I have are 1) the vacuum itself is very heavy and can be hard to push after awhile, but I would assume that's just the trade-off for the amount of power this has, 2) the brush does run when you are using the hose extension so you have to make sure not to leave it on the carpet in one spot for too long to prevent rug burns and 3) the suction indicator on the vacuum doesn't really work - it's almost better to just empty the canister and/or clean the filter when you notice it's not picking up as much as it used to. This has been an excellent vacuum for the price.

 "It is not really that good" 2010-02-26
By Anthony G. Ross (San Diego, CA)
I purchased one of these vacuums based on reviews such as those here. However, this Hoover is the worst one I have ever owned, Yes, it is powerful, but it is also very heavy and hard to push around. The canister that replaces a bag often gets plugged at the top and must be cleaned manually. Because of the power, the roller brush is very hard to direct on carpeting and it will not clean against the nap of a rug. The hook that holds the cord off the floor is not strong enough so the cord is constantly falling under the unit, and the accessories regularly fall off the handle during vacuuming. And, when it is time to clean the paper filter inside the canister, the job is very messy. I had an Oreck before purchasing this unit and now miss it very much.

By C L Smith (Wetumpka, Alabama)
Our old Bissell finally died and while researching a new vacuum, had a chance to use our daughter's Eureka Boss 4 D for 2 weeks. We were totally pleased with the Eureka but were afraid of the durability issues mentioned by a lot of the reviewers. After researching and reading reviews finally decided to purchase a Hoover Windtunnel Bagless Anniversary Edition a month ago. So here are the good and the bad...



The Good:

* Great suction- a disgusting amount of "stuff" is being picked up.

* Effective - the carpet looks clean and almost new again after vacuuming and the pile stands up and is "fluffy" again.



*It has a red / green light that tells you when that section of carpet is clean and when you need to keep working it.

* Although it's mostly plastic and the on/off slider button appears destined

to break over time, the cleaner overall looks and feels solidly built.

* The dirt basket is easy to remove and dump and designed so you don't get dirty dumping the dirt. It also has a crank that vibrates the smaller dust out of the filter.



The bad:

* Some small difficulty in adjusting the beater bar height. I can't just flick it with my toe to adjust.

* The pet hair rotating brush does not work well and if you put too pressure on it actually stopped working. The manual says don't apply so much pressure or it will stop! Poor design. We got disgusted and paid $20 for the Eureka Boss 4 D pet hair brush which fits the Hoover exactly...and works perfectly. You can scrub as hard as you want and it won't stop spinning. We purchased the brush online from Eureka.

* Heavy.

* Hoses aren't long enough to be very useful.



The Eureka also had a electro-statically charged "wand" that was useful for blinds, walls, ledges. You stick it back in it's holder and the dust is vacuumed off......the Hoover did not have this useful attachment.



All in all, the Hoovers we have had in the past have given us many years of faithful service and we are hoping for a repeat performance with the Hoover Windtunnel Bagless .



Purchased the Hoover from Amazon and got everything as promised when promised with free shipping.

By B. Watkins (Sherman Oaks, CA)
DO NOT BUY THIS VACUUM, It does not come with a tube hose cover so when you use the attachments the debris goes everywhere. I called Hoover about this and they said this is how it was manufactured, nice huh, they can't even give you the missing part. I am sending this back a buying a Dyson. I will never buy a Hoover again!!!!!

This Hoover does the best job of picking up dog hair of any vacuum I've ever owned.

 "Decent vacuum" 2010-03-14
By Jennifer__ (PA)
We purchased this vacuum in August 2009 when we adopted a dog that sheds A LOT. The vacuum works great as long as we clean the HEPA filter every couple months. Every time I clean the filter there is plenty of very fine dirt, so I'm satisfied it's doing its job. The only complaints I have are 1) the vacuum itself is very heavy and can be hard to push after awhile, but I would assume that's just the trade-off for the amount of power this has, 2) the brush does run when you are using the hose extension so you have to make sure not to leave it on the carpet in one spot for too long to prevent rug burns and 3) the suction indicator on the vacuum doesn't really work - it's almost better to just empty the canister and/or clean the filter when you notice it's not picking up as much as it used to. This has been an excellent vacuum for the price.

 "Worked OK for a few months" 2010-03-02

This vacuum was good when I first bought it last August. I loved the auto-rewind feature, but the vacuum simply stopped working a few days ago. Now I have to figure out if it's worth fixing.

 "Keep looking" 2010-03-01
By Shawn Kaplan
This vacuum really never did what i thought it would do. I liked the price and the wind up cord, but this vacuum didn't pick up any dirt. It sucks, and doesn't pick up any dirt. It really hasn't worked in over a year, it never picks up dirt, and stinks. Its messy, and constantly getting clogged. Keep searching for another vacuume.

 "It is not really that good" 2010-02-26
By Anthony G. Ross (San Diego, CA)
I purchased one of these vacuums based on reviews such as those here. However, this Hoover is the worst one I have ever owned, Yes, it is powerful, but it is also very heavy and hard to push around. The canister that replaces a bag often gets plugged at the top and must be cleaned manually. Because of the power, the roller brush is very hard to direct on carpeting and it will not clean against the nap of a rug. The hook that holds the cord off the floor is not strong enough so the cord is constantly falling under the unit, and the accessories regularly fall off the handle during vacuuming. And, when it is time to clean the paper filter inside the canister, the job is very messy. I had an Oreck before purchasing this unit and now miss it very much.
