Dust Bunny and Fur Ball Eliminator...for a while....

 

A Hoover Empower landed under my Christmas tree a few years ago. A gift from my mother and a not so subtle statement about the cleanliness of my house. Whatever. I have two kids and a husband who refuses to remove his shoes (despite threats of...

Works well. Attractive. Easy to Store.

Filter cleaning and cost. Hose instability.

Hoover EmPower Widepath model#U5269900 Terrible Vacuum BLOWS! Doesn't suck!

 

Overall, I am truly dissatisfied with this machine. SUCTION: Primarily, IT BLOWS! Everywhere! Anything that I try to vacuum that is light weight (paper bits, pet hair, dust, dirt, etc) blows away as soon as I approach it with the vacuum cleaner. ...

I guess I only wasted $100, is that a pro

IT BLOWS! It blows more than it sucks. Terrible vacuum ; horrible for allergies

Another vacuum? You have GOT to be kidding me!

 

That is what everyone said when I brought home the Hoover EmPower. I know, I love to vacuum. There has to be something said for a freshly vacuumed room, and at the end of the day, that's what melts my butter! I think that vacuuming is the basis for any...

Long cord, easy to empty dust cup

flimsy attachement hose, not recomended for above floor cleaning

Clean mind, clean shop.. no references to sucking here

 

If you need a shop vacuum or wet-dry vacuum for general clean up, this may be a very good choice. Although it's only a six-gallon vacuum it has plenty of suction and capacity for most anything you could do around the house or garage. That is unless of ...

Nice price, good suction, compact size, wet/dry, attachments

noisy, no filter sock included, short cord

WORST VACUUM DON'T BUY THIS!!!

 

Horrible. Piece of garbage. I have only used it a couple of times and cannot figure out why it's so defective. As I've seen others say in their reviews, it is HORRIBLE for hard floor. Almost not even functional. I vacuumed my kitchen in bare feet and...

None.

Loud-Switches inconvenient-Blows out air, dirt, and grit-Zero suction on hardfloor-Completely ineffective

Hoover U5262-900 / U5260-900 / U5266-900 / U5268-900 EmPower Bagless Upright Vacuum

 

Way back in the '80's when I was still riding submarines, I made a trip wherein the XO (Executive Officer) of the bat declare war on dirt; dirt is the enemy he would say as he turned out the crew to clean the boat once again. In response our motto for ...

Small, quiet, bag-less, powerful.

Carpet Knob is hard to turn.
