Hoover U5140-900 Tempo Widepath Bagged Upright Vacuum

I wanted a vacuum that had good suction and I definitely got it with this Hoover. It looks a little chintzy, but it is powerful. In fact, it is almost too powerful. My longer rugs take a bit of a beating from it, pulling out loose threads. This also makes it difficult to push over the longer rugs. When you first start the machine, it sucks so quickly and powerfully that you can't move it forward without significant effort. But once you get past the initial strain, it works great. The attachments also work really well, but I wish the hose was a little longer. I haven't tried to replace a bag yet, so I don't know how difficult that is.

All in all, I'd say a very useful machine, but its probably best on shorter carpets.

This vacuum is such a value. I had researched vacuums before I bought a new one. I didn't want to spend a whole lot so I read consumer reports. This was rated very highly for price, suction, pet hair, etc. I totally agree with it all. I would definitely recommend this vacuum to someone else. In fact, I did. I told our good friends about it. They had mentioned that they were looking for the same things we were and they bought one. They too have been very pleased with their purchase. Buy it. You will like it.

The Hoover Widepath is a great product at a great price. I highly recommend buying this vacuum cleaner.

This cleaner works great. Highly recommend this vacuum cleaner. Extremely pleased. Very impressive especially for the price. Has great pick up power from floor or carpeting. The attachments are easy to use and outperform cleaning upholstery done by an expensive model cleaner that cost me more than 10 times as much as this one! It is works great on heavy traffic areas. I have bought 2 of these cleaners -- one for my permanent residence and I was so impressed I bought one for my vacation home.

I have had this vacuum for almost two years. I noticed how cheaply made it was right out of the box, but it was lightweight and had good suction. For the first 6-8 months it worked very well. Most of the problems are with the hose. I had to duct tape the hose to the body as it would disconnect. It is also not pliable. It can collapse down and it is hard to reshape for proper suction. The height adjustment feature no longer works. It can also leave dirt under the vacuum when you are using the attachments.
