I like this vacuum a lot and eventually one day it would not turn off. The actuator inside the handle is plastic and if the switch is stiff the plastic bends and does not rock the switch to off.
Take the two small screws out of the handle and remove the handle (just the reverse of how you assembled it). This will expose the on-off rocker switch. Rock it back and forth manually and the vacuum should turn on and off. If not the switch is bad and needs to be replaced. However, mine was very stiff. It worked when I manually rocked it but was too stiff when I put it back together to turn off.
What has worked for me on this vacuum: I went to radio shack and bought a spray can of Control/Contact Cleaner and Lubricant. It comes with a small piece of tubing. Once the handle was off (again) I put the tube into the top edge of the switch and pushed the button FOR A FRACTION OF A SECOND and then did the bottom edge of the switch. I worked the switch manually a couple of times. I repeated the spraying one more time and the rocking. I wiped off any excess that was visible. I put it all back together and it has been working fine for me.
This stuff is made for electrical contacts... HOWEVER, it is to be used very sparingly!!! Also, a new can has a bit of pressure. Be careful that you don't blow some back at you.

My parents used to own a Dyson but they wanted a self-propelled vacuum (the Dyson is a bit heavy to use, especially for older seniors). I got them this because 1. Hoover is supposed to be a leader in vacuums and 2. I had heard the windtunnel vacuums had suction power comparable to Dyson's. While both these claims may be true, this model is a complete lemon. After one year, the belt came undone. They replaced the belt and about a month later the belt came off again. After reading various reviews around the net, there appears to be a pattern: the belt system in this hoover is terrible. Do a search for this model number and the word REVIEW and you will that this is a near universal problem. STAY AWAY FROM THIS VACUUM.

I have owned this vacuum cleaner for 3 months. Already the self-propel switch does not work properly. Most of the time I can't get it to switch from self-propel "on" to self-propel "off". Even worse than that problem is the fact that the vacuum won't turn off! I have to unplug it from the wall to turn it off. I have used this cleaner less than 20 times and think it is a hunk of junk. It cleans ok, but the other problems make it very frustrating to use. My previous Hoover lasted me 20 years with virtually no problems. I won't buy another Hoover product. The construction is cheap and even without the above-mentioned problems, I don't think it will last very long.
