Hoover U5140-900 Tempo Widepath Bagged Upright Vacuum

This lightweight vacuum does a great job! We looked at machines twice the price, but couldn't ask for anything better than this. This truly is a good vacuum at a reasonable cost.

It is amazing how good this vacuum cleaner is for the price. Great suction, the front rotating brush gets the job done, pretty well built and put together. No complaints!

Very good quality & worth the price, I have four vaccums at home and so far this is the best. This vacuum doesn't come with any extra bag so get some extra before it fills up in no time.

Bought this to use in our summer "cabin" and am very satisfied. Handles easily and vacuums well, both carpet and bare floors. Would like a longer power cord, only negative I can think of. Compares well in my opinion to the top-rated Kenmore which I bought to use in our winter place and the Kenmore cost 4x as much.

thank you, all the amazon reviewers, for taking the time to write your reviews. very helpful. decided to buy this particular vacuum after reading lots of reviews, and agree with the concensus:

this vacuum is VERY powerful - be really careful. my kids and i have vacuumed up all sorts of things unintentionally. on the plus side, it really does get stuff up.

this vacuum is also pretty loud, altho i only noticed it the first few days.

the hose is way too short and also not flexible enough. it would be great if hoover read these reviews and fixed that problem in the next version.

easy to assemble, the light in the front works well.

followed other reviewers' suggestions and purchased extra bags and belts at the same time i bought the vacuum from amazon. everything delivered to the house with free shipping, no hassles.

bottom line: i'm glad i bought it, even with the shortcomings, and am buying another right now for one of my kids.
