Hoover U5140-900 Tempo Widepath Bagged Upright Vacuum

I bought this vacuum based on its Amazon customer reviews. It does a GREAT job on carpet. I haven't used it on hardwood.
I like it so much I'm ordering another one to give to my newly-wed daughter instead of an expensive Dyson, which did not have very good reviews. I highly recommend this vacuum, especially at this price.

Pros: Top notch unit. Excellent vacuum cleaner. Consumer Reports rated as a "best buy" and so far it is exactly that. Excellent with pet hair and very easy to push/pull. Very lightweight and easy to use on stairs.

Cons: Short cord. I would also recommend the Arm&Hammer bags (deodorant type) from Walmart if you have pets. Regular bags will give a "stale" smell if you let the bag get to full. Other than that, for under 60 bucks.....you can't go wrong!

I have only used this vacuum a few times but so far am really pleased with it. I even vacuumed up a rug leading outdoors with the flat hard pile for nap and it vacuumed it very well. I don't have much to compare it to because my old vacuum was a Eureka Whirlwind that I bought several years ago that had to be defective because it wouldn't even vacuum up a piece of lint off of the floor. So anything had to be a step up. If I think the vacuum warrants another review after I have used it some more, I will add more thoughts later.

This is the worst vacuum I have ever used. It is difficult to push on carpet. Very noisy. The hose is way too short. While trying to use the attachments the hose would either keep coming off the vacuum or the vacuum would fall over onto me. I am giving it to goodwill and buying a kenmore......

I purchased this upright a few months ago and so far it is doing a very good job on rugs and bare floor. It is light weight, convenient on carpeted stair cases and easy to handle. Also has a full bag light.
Tools are all on the vacuum.
It is a great buy for the low price.
