Hoover S2220 Flair Bagless Upright Stick Vacuum with Power Nozzle

I was looking for a replacement for an older stick vacuum by Hoover and this is just the one. Great for threads and cat hairs.

This Hoover Stick Vacumm has exceeded my expectations. We recently tiled the floors of rooms that get the most foot traffic. Conventional floor mopping/swiffering didn't get the dust, sand, pet hair, sewing threads and grit from the grouted areas. My big heavy-duty vac was too cumbersome. This little vacuum is awesome. It's lightweight, has a long cord and is free standing if I need to leave it. It maneuvers under counters and furniture, into corners and picks up everything. The bagless container is see-through so I can see at a glance when it needs to be emptied. It is worth every penney I paid for it.

I am quite happy 2 months in. The suction is very good (haven't found anything it would not pick up yet) and it actually works better than I expected. It does get a little warm so I tend to turn it off just for a few minutes after I finish each room. As a result, I have not had any of the "cutting off" problems that other have had. I wanted something for quick pickup of cat hair and dust on hardwood and carpet. This cute little vacuum does that and much more. I now also use it for the steps since it is so much lighter than my upright Windtunnel.
Negatives: It will fall over if you do not push forward to make sure the little clips are engaged. Emptying the dust cup is not pleasant (thankfully it is "my dirt". Oops, my germaphobia is showing.)

This is a great vacuum for light clean up, quickly and easily. I have used it on rugs and hard surface and it works well. It is light which makes it easy to pull out, use and put away quickly. It was recommended to me and I would recommend it as well.

We just installed Bamboo floors throughout our first floor and we have several rugs throughout. This vacuum is perfect! It's lightweight but powerful. It's so easy to take out of the closet, flip the switch on the front to non-brushes and when its time for the rugs, flip the same switch to brushes. The collection bucket actually holds more than I thought it would, but I do empty every time.

I do agree with other writers that the cord is not long enough and I will be adding an extention cord to it. At the top of the handle there is a long hole that you can hang the vacuum in the closet on the wall. Also, it does stand up on its own.

Love it and highly recommend it for a house full of hardwood floors and rugs, not for carpeting.
