Hoover Bagged Tempo Widepath Upright Vacuum - U5140-900

I was not hot to order this one but Consumer Reports liked it and the wife had her mind made up. She loves it...especially for the money.

Have used Hoover Wind Tunnel upright vacuums for many years and feel their quality has deteriorated. After days of researching on the net and Consumers Reports I purchased this low cost model at a very good price point and am satisfied with its performance and looks and ease of use. Was easy to assemble.

This replaced a $500 Dyson and it works just as well. Very pleased!

Great vacuum, very good suction on carpet and doesn't blow around hair/debris on hardwoods like many vacuums do.

We have bought this model elsewhere twice because the cord got destroyed when we ran over it with the vacuum the first time. It's very loud. The attachment hose is too short. Our second one just stopped working and makes a burning smell that lingers for days. The bag is installed properly and the belt is fine. We can't figure it out. This is basically a disposable vacuum since you can replace it cheaply, but you probably will have to.

Great for general house vacuuming

I enjoy using the Hoover Bagged Tempo Widepath upright vacuum cleaner. When turned on, because of the power, will move forward easily. Light weight and the design makes it easy to use on stairs. Great to vacuum throw rugs. I would purchase again.

Great product for price--Easy to assemble took less then 5 minutes. Works well..my cleaning lady was pleased..said it gets the job done well. I have both carpet/tile/and hardwood. No pets and no kids, so vacuum once every 2 weeks. For the price can't really go wrong..it had great reviews on consumer reports as well.

Cleaning carpets and hardwood fllors

AMAZING suction, lightweight, functional. The only criticism I have is the flimsy-ness of the hose for attachment work. It works fine, but feels very thin and weak. I fully expect to replace the hose within a few months. However, I am so happy with all the other features of the vacuum, I will gladly do that. Overall, a great buy - especially if you don't plan to use the hose very often.

I purchased this model based on the favorable reviews, combined with the great price. It works very well, though some reviews said it had amazing suction...I am not really seeing that, but it cleans the carpet. Maybe I've been using dinosaurs, but some reviews also said it was heavy. I was impressed it practically rolled itself forward along the floor.

This vacuum is used upstairs on primarly carpet. We have 2 cats who spend some time upstairs in the office and bedrooms plus hall.

I found this vacumn very easy to use--it almost drives itself.

Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!

So far, we really like this vacuum.

Using this vacuum is a breeze because it doesn't take much effort. The moment you turn the vacuum on, and push forward, it carries you in that direction. Great vacuum. Will buy another.

Just purchased this vacuum cleaner and am very happy with it so far. No complaints, and it does exactly what it is supposed to do. For the price, I don't see a better option.

Its a nice lightweight cleaner, i had another vaccum cleaner more expensive then this one and was not as powerful. I'm loving it so far....The only con is the short hose..

I had a bagless Hoover and I always dreaded emptying the vacuum. And, with four cats, I needed to empty it frequently. When it finally, broke, I replaced it with this vaccum. I've had it a week and it's doing an excellent job - particularly for the price. It's a good value.

Wanted a practical item at a good price that would hold up to everyday use. This vacuum fits the bill. It's a tried and true, and has been around a long time, but still gets a job done extremely well. Doesn't have the longest power cord (not as long as on the newer more expensive Hoover's), but other than that, a great model.

Good little vacuum have used it for years and bought this one for my son and he is very happy with it. Can't beat a Hoover

[...]

So much power and suction for a reasonable price. It's lightweight and so easy to use. I love it and want to get another one to use in the basement.

Great suction, easy to use tools. I had to have the motor replaced one month after purchase which is not good. However, it was completely covered by Hoover. No problem since.

Easy to use. Less noisier than the one I had before. It glides smoothly across the carpet and has powerful suction. It's has so much power that it will pull itself across. You barely have to push it back and forth! Because of this vac, I actually vacuum more now than I did before! It's a basic, simple vac. That is easy to use and gets the job done.

Low cost but very good perfromance ==> excellent value

Was easy to put together. Works efficiently on carpet!

I have 6 dogs and it seems to work the best in getting up dog hair

I just wanted a vacuum cleaner that would do carpets good, and that's what I got. Suction is really good. It seems pretty cheaply made, but if it does the job and lasts for a few years I feel I got my money's worth. Power cord really too short (but I knew that going in), hose pretty short and not really flexible (again, knew that going in). Got what I expected and am happy with it.

Glad that I ordered it.

Vacuum does a very good job

This is a great vacuum for the money. I've had much more expensive ones and if you want something that is inexpensive but cleans carpets well, this one fits the bill. A couple of drawbacks. It has a shorter than normal cord, it's loud and the brushes do not shut off when you're using the attachments. For me, these are minor nuisances. Overall, I recommend it for light to medium vacuuming.

Lightweight and efficient! Better than the last two vacs I've owned (both were much more expensive).

I now own two Hoovers. This one taught me that sometimes less expensive is not only OK but better. Anyone who needs a economical vacuum that does a great job at a reasonable price, don't hesitate to get this one!

This is the 4th one of these we have purchased for family and business. Great value for the money.

We have a lab in the house and need a great vacuum - this is it. It's great on pet hair and everything else. We were so pleased with this vacuum that we bought another one to keep upstairs.

I use the vacuum in my home. I like the onboard tools and the very strong suction. It almost feels self propelled the suction is so great. The handle drops low so it is easy to vacuun under tables and high beds.

COMPARED THIS STAND-UP VACUUM TO LARGER MORE EXPENSIVE ONES, AND USUALLY BAGLESS, AND FOUND THIS ONE TO BE THE LEAST HEAVIEST AND THE LEAST NOISY YET MOST EFFICIENT AND STILL HAVING ENORMOUS SUCTION ESPECIALLY ON A FLAT WEAVED GARAGE INDOOR/OUTDOOR CARPET. CORD IS LONG ENOUGH FOR ME (USED IN AN OVERSIZED 2 CAR GARAGE); BUT, IT DOES TEND TO GET IN THE WAY WHEN YOU VACUUM SO YOU WILL HAVE TO LIFT AND HOLD THE CORD AWAY FROM THE VACUUM WITH YOUR LEFT HAND (IF YOU ARE A RIGHTIE).I AM ALWAYS SKEPTICAL ABOUT ORDERING ON THE WEB BUT FOUND THIS TO BE A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. [...] PRODUCT WAS READY FOR USE IN NO TIME.

Used in the home primarily on carpet. Find that the suction on using tools especially good. This is a good vacuum cleaner and I think it desirable for anyone wishing a good inexpensive machine for household use,

Researched vacums for several monthes before buying the Hoover Tempo I am so excited that it lives up to its high recommendations

Pleased with its' performance

Use product to vacuum carpets, bare wood floors and tiles. Excellent performance. The Abt [...]Would highly recommend Abt as the supplier of other products in their inventory.

This [$] wonder vac easily outperforms the $200 one it replaced. It's obvious to me way the leading consumer magazine rated it in their top 10 and just behind the $1200 Kirby.

I do not have this for very long but it seems to be very functional. It was a cinch to assemble! I use it for a small, 2,000 square foot office space. Based on the reviews this vacuum cleaner does exactly what is supposed to do at a very reasonable price! The only thing that I would have liked would have been a rubber (more flexible hose) rather than a rigid plastic one but for the money, you cannot beat it.

Super suction and easy to use. I can't believe all the dust it picked up compared to my former upright vacuum cleaner a Bissell-that cost so much more! Great product - great price!

This vacuum works very well. Cleans thoroughly.

Really easy to use - very maneuverable and has great suction. Only complaint is that the belt breaks easily if you get the power brush caught on any string or other item. However - the belt was also very easy to replace, so I can live with that (and of course, just be more careful too).

It is a good vacuum cleaner for the money. We have carpet throughout our home, and, the Hoover upright is a good choice. It is powerful and easy to use. The "on-board" tools are handy.

Great extra vacuum, I needed a new vacuum for the upstairs. It is great picking up all the little stuff the kids drop. Great suction, gets the baseboards dust free. I would buy this product again.

My previous Hoover finally gave out after 8 years of loyal service. I researched vacuums online and decided to go with the Hoover Tempo. Like many of the online reviews said, it is a little loud. But that doesn't bother me as long as it sucks up the dirt and dog hair...and the Tempo does that with flying colors. I was happy to discover that the Tempo is lighter weight than my previous Hoover. And the Tempo really takes off whereas my old Hoover was a little tough to push. I'm pleasantly surprised that a vacuum that cost so little delivers so much satisfaction.

Very good on carpet, easy to move, store, use. The only problem that I have is that it is hard for me to change the height of the vacuum to clean the tile floor. Price is very easy on the wallet!

[...] We had a houseful of company and it was put into immediate use. Even our house guests mentioned how powerfully the suction was. We're very pleased.

this works very good

Very similar to my older machine with one advantage --It's quieter.

It's light, has on board tools, and does an excelent job of cleaning.

Does a great job, much better than my more expensive bagless vacuum. [...], item is as advertised. We bought this because of reviews in Consumer Reports, best inexpensive vacuum they reviewed. Powerful and quiet. Only con is a short cord.

This vacuum was rated highly by consumer reports, so when I saw that Abt had it for such a good price, I snatched it up. I'm so glad I did!

Does what it's supposed to do - vacuums! Very powerful. No bells & whistles, Not the prettiest vacuum, But it works!

The suction on this vacuum is unbelievable! It also practically runs itself which is nice. The accessories are easy to put together and are quick to do.

This vacuum is powerful. It was a surprise to see what we weren't getting up with our old vacuum.

I was really surprised that I could spend so little money and get a vacuum this good. Have recommend to three friend who have all bought the vacuum and are as happy as I am.

Five star vacuum for the price!

Great bargin. [...] This vac replacing a ten year old Hoover Wind Tunnel I paid at least double for back then, and which has served me well. The online reviews of the Tempo were so good I decided to order it. When it arrived I was surprised to find it the same exact amps and body as my 10 year old wind tunnel except slightly wider base and shorter cord (by a few feet which leaves me short on my stairs). Also a few new features (bag-full indicator) and its so powerful that I swear this thing has auto-drive pulling me forward! Definitely recommend to others.

This vacuum is a great product. It is lightweight, easy to manuever and has a lot of suction. The only thing I would offer for improvement is to have the power cord exiting the machine at the top instead of the bottom for access that is easier on the back when reaching for it. But, overall, I am very impressed as I do cleaning for a business and am always looking for great products.

ssss

Bought it for my mpom and she loves it.

Love the machine - good product at a great price. Just a couple of annoyances: The front of the vacuum is bigger across than I'm used to and doesn't fit in the same closet space as the old one. The power cord wraps on the back of the machine over the stowed accessories, which is a poor design.

Haven't had it that long but seems to be a good vacumm cleaner for a really good price!

Vacuum assembled quickly and easily with minimum of tools or effort. Bag already in place was a nice feature. Wish more bags had come with the product. Otherwise, happy with the amount of power and suction. It does a good job and a very good job for the price!

Hose is a little on the short side.

Low cost, powerful suction

This vacuum replaced a more expensive Electrolux, and so far, it has performed well. The cord is shorter than I would like, but the cleaning is top notch. We have 3 cats and picking up the hair is a breeze. Feel this cleans as good, if not better than my old Electrolux.

The attachments are always at hand and easy to use. The only complaint I have is that it leaves behind lint balls it makes. However, since it picks up way more than any other vacuum I've ever owned, I guess this is a small detail to complain about.

Lighter to use than Eureka.

I vacuum 2-3 times a week, have 2 small children and a cat. This is a great inexpensive vacuum. I tried a more expensive vacuum without a bag and it did not pick up dirt this well.

For wall to wall carpet, good suction and clean feeling results. Not very generous cord nor user-friendly storage of cord.

This thing is as loud as a jet engine and just about as powerful. I don't view vacs as status symbols and they all break down eventually so who wants to spend hundreds of dollars? When I vacuum I'm not expecting to nap. For[$] this beast will suck dirt, debris and dog hair out of your carpets and off your floors. It will also wake the neighbors. It's bulky and the hose, tools, and cord storage won't win any design awards. But it's cheap and it gets the job done.

I bought this product because it was ranked so high on consumer reports years back and with the price I couldn't be happier.

I paid an arm and a leg for my last vacuum (Eureka bagless) it was horrible! Compared to that one, this new Hoover is a dream. It's lightweight for the stairs, the attachments are handy (and actually stay on while vacuuming!)and it has pretty good suction for a low end priced vacuum. Not sure how it does on hardwood, as I only have carpet. Not the quietest vacuum...but then again what vacuum is quiet?

I am so pleased with this vacuum. It has excellent cleaning power on hardwoods and carpet alike. It's easy to use and surprisingly inexpensive. Why spend more?

This is quite a vacuum especially considering the price. If it had an edging feature I would have given it perfect marks. I bought one for work and home. Very pleased with the job it does on tile and hardwood.

i HAVE PURCHASED THE MORE EXPENSIVE HOOVER MODELS IN THE PAST & HAVE BEEN HAPPY WITH THEM. HOWEVER, THIS TIME I DECIDED TO GO WITH THE "CHEAPIE" MODEL SINCE MOST OF THE CUSTOMER REVIEWS I WAS READING ABOUT THE MORE EXPENSIVE MODELS WERE NEGATIVE AND THE REVIEWS FOR THIS MODEL WERE GREAT. I SEE WHY, THIS VACUUM PERFORMS AS WELL AS MY PREVIOUS HOOVERS, JUST WITHOUT ALL THE BELLS & WHISLES. IT HAS GREAT SUCTION AND IS FAIRLY LIGHTWEIGHT, ESPECIALLY COMPARED TO MY PREVIOUS MODELS. IT CAN'T BE BEAT FOR THE PRICE!

Worked good the first and second time I used it. By the 4th use it spread dirt all over my rug. I changed the bag and it was worse. I would not recommend this product to anyone. [...] Very disappointed.

Definitely a good brand vacuum for the price. This is the first upright I've ever owned and it can be a bit cumbersome but overall I am happy with the product.

This vac out cleans many of the more expensive machines. It is the best for the money out there! I have owned it over a year and it has more than met my expectations.

Very good inexpensive vacuum with strong suction!

It has powerful suction for one pass cleaning.

I'm in college and have used my fair share of Vacuums, from expensive Self Propelled Wind Tunnels to $20 [...]ones. This is not only the best that I've seen, but the price is right. The belt breaks easily and doesn't come with a spare, so order up.

For what it cost it worked well (had too short of an accessory hose though) but it only lasted 1.5 years before the motor burned out (and boy does that stink)

I've had a Rainbow for 23 years and never thought I would get rid of it, until I bought this Hoover. It does unbelievable cleaning on carpets! So very glad I bought this product...and for the money, you can't go wrong!

Hoover Bagged Tempo Replaces my wind tunnel that is a nusance to empty the hair out of. Fine dust NEVER escapes the bag and changing the bag means the dirt is GONE. Hose is too short to be easy to use. POWERFULL suction. I have 3 dogs and 4 cats and wanted the hair out of the house at a reasonable price but light enough to cary up and down the stairs. Good unit.

The vacuum works well.

Great vacuum. I would recommend it to anyone. My girlfriend paid 500.00 for a Dyson and she said she could have save alot of money if she only knew about this Hoover!!!!

I bought this because it was rated sixth overall in Consumer Reports vacuum test! And it only costs [$] Excellent vacuum. Works great on carpet. Good at picking up pet hair. Tools suction is not the strongest. It works fine on hard floors, but you can't turn the brush off so it can blow dust or dirt around. It has a 25ft power cord, which I guess is considered short, but plenty long for my place. Buy it!

part of the hose sucked in on its self while using the wand to clean the car seats. although it looks somewhat crushed the vacuum still works well. [...]shipping was free. i could not find any local stores that carried this product and am very happy that i only had to go 3 days without a vacuum.

Vacuum is great for everyday use.

This product is awesome for the money spent. We had purchased an expensive rainbow model and traded our old tempo in and after a short while we missed the Tempo. We just ordered another one and couldn't be happier. The tempo has great suction power and is baggged, we liked the bagged better than the non bagged cleaners. This is a great vacuum for the money. Simple operation for the kids to run!

Very easy to assemble.

I am pleased with this vaccum cleaner.

It's not pretty, but it gets the job done much better than my Oreck ever did. It does have odd cord storage, but that doesn't bother me. It works well, though the side exhaust can blow dust bunnies around before you can capture them! Overall, good product.

I read reviews that said this vacuum was noisy. Guess it's relative. Compared to my old unit, this thing's a house whisperer. Pulls up pet hair well, great suction, not too heavy, cheap. Go for it.

Simply put - Consumer magazine that everyone knows about that will NOT advertise - ranks this puppy as a great buy. Problem I have not experienced (too soon to say) is that Hoover has some reliability issues. I am a bachelor and as often as I anticipate using this baby - I hope that will not be an issue...

great value, excellent customer service, fast shipping, and on time, only sugestion is that hoover should have made the hose for the above floor cleaning longer, it is too short and difficult to manuever. i hear there is a suplemental hose avaiable somewhere, but it should be included for a few bucks more right off the bat.

Very good vacuum. cleans well and easy to use on carpet and hardwood or Tile. Onboard hose and attachments make it very useful.

great on carpets excellent suction

I wish I would have know there was a dirt finder option I would have gotten that model, but I didn't know until I read the manual. Also the hose is soooo short I wish one of the attachments was a flex hose B/c the two they provide are straight so it's still hard to get to alot of places, also while I was cleaning under a chair I knocked off the belt and almost cried. I thought I broke my new vacuum cleaner. Other than that I guess its ok its quieter than my bissell and when I vacuum there isn't dust flying allover the house (my main concern the Bissell spit dust all over while I cleaned) I've filled two bags in two weeks, but I think the alert may come on prematurely. Overall good vacuum for the price I have noticed lest dust on my stupid black furniture (a huge mistake in and of itself)

Just a little to noisy. Other than that great VAC.

I'm so impressed with this vacuum, I am recommending it to all my friends and family.

Works great.

The dust and dirt disappear in a very efficient manner.

Tried bagless types but all I ever did was clean filters. Bag types qut that hassel.

abt phone staff is excellent, [...]first time buyer, will use again. Great value in a pwoerful vac. not sure why anyone would spend hundreds more on an oreck or some other brands that cost [$]- just to vacuum? crazy. best deal going, and glad I saw it listed in the consumer magazine as a best buy. Only thing that CR ever rated that worked out right. Most of their ratings are usually biased garbage. Some how they did ok on this one.

Good cheap vacuum, cord hard to control, and notsure when bag needs changing

This vacuum works very well. I don't actually have a pet, but I have long hair and that often causes a problem with other vacuum cleaners. The last one I had didn't last 2 months. This one doesn't seem to have a problem sucking up the hair I shed and I think it will last.

Really good deal. Bought this vacuum after I saw it listed as a "best buy" in Consumer Reports. Good suction, maybe a little too good as it will eat a rug if I forget to change the height after cleaning bare floors or low pile carpet. I mostly use it as a basic upright vac., and use my little cannister vac. for jobs that require attachments. The Hoover's attachment hose is kind of short, and the whole attachment system seems kind of cheap and badly designed. In addition, some of the attachments do not clip securely to the housing when not in use. All of this is ok with me however, since I bought it to clean floors and rugs, not furniture or drapery. If you use attachments heavily, you may want to try it in a store first to see if it will fit your needs.

does a great job and simple to use

WOW! I needed a new vacuum and coincidentally saw a consumer reports segment on the Today show 3 weeks ago. It rated this vacuum right up there with the $300 models, but at a cost of [$]. I bought this for my home carpet and I love it! Fantastic suction, the accessories are located on the vacuum and it gets right up close to the base boards. Worked great on the kitchen wood flooring, too. You can't go wrong with the price. Wish it had a longer cord but not an issue. I bought another for my second home.

Powerful vacuum, but cord not long enough for larger rooms. No color to choose from. Otherwise, its a great inexpensive machine.

Light weight, powerful, easy-to-use and inexpensive. Magic combination! For the price you could not ask for more.

I cleaned a rug that had been driving me crazy for years!

Good second vac for upstairs, carpeted floors.

This was actually a birthday gift for my niece. She called to say she loves it and that it picks up all the dog hair very well. She has a 2-year-old boy, so she needs to vacuum several times a week. She's very happy with the product.

Bought based upon Consumers Report. Wanted it mainly for picking up pet hair from carpeting. We have 4 other brand name vacuums but this work very well. An added feature is the powerful suction when using the extention hose. Works far better than our other Hoover. They should have included a tool for getting into small thin areas for use with the hose. It's available as an extra, but charge more and inculude it.

It has great suction and onboard attachments but its very loud.

Excellent value, glad I didn't pay [$]for the fancy ones.

Really great vacuum, lightweight so easy to use on stairs. The attachment cord could be alittle bit longer. Great suction, would definitely buy this one again.

Very good [...], quiet, lightweight.

This product is excellent for carpets (esp dog hair) and very inexpensive price too. It is also the lightest vacuum I've ever used.

General housecleaning usage. Lightweight and functional. Glad that I purchased this vacuum.

An excellent machine. Light weight and very powerful. A terrific value!

This vacuum cleaner is better than our old $200 one. It is lighter, has better suction and is very easy to push. The only minor issue is the cord is slightly shorter than the more expensive one. But you can buy 3 of these for the price of the expensive one. This is definately a better value.

We wanted a small upright vac to supplement our regular canister vac that was in for service. This model was recommended by Consumer Reports, and meets our needs.

I'm very happy with this model of Hoover. It does a great job, and you can't beat the price.

A surprisingly affordable vacuum with terrific suction. Great on both carpet and bare floors.

With my old vacuum I did not have to watch where I was, with this Hoover you had better know what's in front of you because it will be sucked up. A great vacuum for the price.

Very excellent vaccuum for the price. Was a best buy from consumer reports magazine. Cleans better than a recent [$] vaccumm I had purchased.

good vacuum cleaner!

This is the best inexpensive vacuum I have ever owned. My carpet literally changed color the first time I vacuumed with it. I have two large dogs and this vacuum is fully capable of cleaning up all of their hair and dander. It is fairly noisy, but the pros definitely outweigh the cons for this vacuum. I would (and already have) recommend this vacuum to anyone.

great for around the house and when you need attachments for difficult areas

As most everyone else, I use my vacuum to clean the rugs. Nothing got by this Hoover Upright! It has 5 different pile settings, one of them for hardwood, vinyl, or linoleum floors. For the price, I couldn't have found a better bargain for an upright Hoover! Need a new vacuum for under $100? This is it, and [...] has it at the right price! Awesome!

Works really well, is little bit heavy and the cord is a little short, but for the money a great buy!

We have two dogs, three birds, two cats and a lot of activity at our house. This vacuum is quick and efficient, picks up pet hair great and is easy to move around. The attachment hose, however, would be better if it stretched farther. Otherwise, just what we were looking for.

I purchased this vacuum alsmost one year ago and my daughter used it and loved it, so I bought her one for Christmas.

Great vacuum. Great price.

Just a great basic vacuum for not a lot of money. It's got every tool I need with great suction. And it works great on hardwood floors.

After researching vacuums online for a week, I chose this Hoover Tempo for its low price and good reviews. I have been well-rewarded for my effort. The Hoover Tempo is EXCELLENT! I live in a two-bedroom, 1200 sq foot apartment that is fully carpeted. This vacuum is PERFECT for the space. It raised the pile on carpeting that I've lived on for over 4 years. VERY powerful suction and even using the attachments, little of its ability is lost. It is heavier than my old Dirt Devil but I don't mind - it works 100 times better! One thing that did surprise me was that when I turned it on, the darned thing has such powerful suction, it took off right out of my hand! LOL

WOW! What a great little vacuum. I wasn't expecting much from this vacuum considering the price, but after reading all the reviews I decided to give it a try. And I'm glad I did. It's a nice size vacuum. Not too big. Which is nice when you have a small house. However, for it's size, it is POWERFUL. You can actually see the crumbs moving toward the vacuum from 6" away. I am very impressed. Got dog hair, cat hair, no problem with this vacuum. It's amazing. It's not fancy and it is quite a loud vacuum, but for the price it's unbeatable. I've actaully paid 4X the amount in the past for vacuums and they were not as effective as this little hoover. Highly Recommended!!!

bolts that hold the handle on did not fit...glued handle on instead...no problem

great suction

Very ergonomic, powerful, lightweight and manuverable. The light is nice and bright.With an extra step on the release lever you can lay the vacume down completely to vacuum way under your bed or other low furniture. I strongly recomend purchasing the 20' extension hose, mo.#(43434042). It's a much more heavy-duty hose which stretches far enough to vacuum the blinds and furniture in a small room without having to pull the vacuum around with you. Also this vacuum does a pretty good job getting close to edges and corners. I've actually enjoyed cleaning lately!

Can't beat this product for the cost. Lightweight with good suction. Hand tools are easy to use. It is a little noisy, but not enough to detract from the value. I don't expect it to last for 20 years, but I highly recommended if you need a lightweight vacuum with good suction.

Great suction. Very practical. Short hose, but extensions provided. Noisy, but effective. Would buy again.

Works quite well for the price of it.The hose and accessories seem to be of cheaper quality and an extra extension hose (flexible) would have been a nice accessory.[...].

For the price I would recommend this product. Great for pet hair. Short cord but no big deal. Makes more noise then other vacumms. Again no big deal. The suction is great.

Great on pet hairs. Does not disperse dust bundles.

The Tempo is a light and and easy to push vacuum that has great suction. It works very well on carpet and works fairly on bare floor because there is no separate switch to turn off the beater brush. At such a low price, it's a great vacuum.

This vacuum is a great value for the money.

This vacuum was recommended by consumer reports and was one of the least expensive. It is so powerful that it takes off on its own. [...]

great vacuum for cheap!

All in all, for the money this product gives a lot of bang for your buck. Was recommended by family friends and we are so glad we took their advise. Could not believe the suction power on this vac. Great purchase.

Great product for the money. Easy to assemble. Terrific suction. The suction is so strong that it almost move be itself. If you have wall to wall carpeting and kids this is a great product. My wife is hard to please and the ultimate skeptic... this vacuum cleaner has won her over. She simply refused to vacuum any more with our Dirt Devil. She also had me send my fist purchase back to the store. So I did my home work and purchased this guy. She is now smiling and cleaning carpets and floors once again. As a basic vacuum this gets the job done. The attachments are of poor quality and do ont stick on the hose very well which is the only problem I have noticed so far. But most attachments at this price range are not going to be t good and we do not often use them.

This vacuum for the price is the best on the market as far as I am concerened. would recommed it to anyone for whole house, especially happy with the pet hair pick up.....

The product was easy to assemble and ready to use in short order.[...]

[...]. It has great suction (watch your throw rugs!). It's only been three weeks, but so far I think it's just what I wanted and the price was great.

We added a 6-ft extension cord to help with usage. Our house is small and it helps so that we don't even have to unplug it now to get around the whole house. My 16 yr old son is the one who vacuums and he likes it a lot. It is a very good vacuum and we would recommend it highly. [...]

Works like a charm, and the price is unbeatable. I wouldn't hesitate to order another one. After owning a bagless, I can say I prefer this model with the bag, easier to clean up after, and it's all contained.

I've only used it on carpeting. The suction seems very good, but the tools aren't all that useful because of the short hose.

i had to take it to hoover to be put togetherm they had packed the wrong bolts

Better than any vaccuum I have bought. So good I purchased another one, and after my dad and sister saw it...they did too!

Used an Oreck for years but too expensive to fix or replace. Got this after reading Consumer Reports. So far so good.

Bought this vacuum for my mother who is elderly and it seems to be a good choice for her. Power is awesome but would like to see a longer cord[...] Thanks

Did not realize how much pet hair was being left behind by my old vacuum. Full bag first time I used the vacuum. Wow..Loved it so much, ordered 2nd one for home in Florida...

Good power for a low-end product... power cord design is not too well thought out... it is quite noisy. But, it gets the job done. Bang for the buck.

Great suction. I am very impressed with this vacuum. I had done a lot of research before I purchased this vacuum and it has lived up to my expectations. The only complaint that I have is that it has a short attachment hose, though an extension hose can be purchased separately.

I bought this sight unseen, shopping on line and trusting consumer reports (which like it, in the low price range machines) and customer reviews. While the suction seems strong -- I lack animal hair or any such mess to really be able to test it out, and its not all THAT heavy for a vacuum, you should be warned that the machine is VERY VERY loud. Also the on off switch is not placed in the usual (nor in a more convenient spot -- i.e., it's not on the handle but down along the side around knee level so that you need to search for it and then you're forced to lean over to turn it on and off -- rather than being able to flip a switch on the handle with your thumb like with every upright I've ever had before). I bought it in part because of the claims to be dust free but I was still smelling some and sneezing a little, although no where near as much as with my old machine. Also, while it has extension bits -- which made me think that I could use it to dust blinds and such, the suction cord is so short and flimsy that its pretty much useless in that regard unless the mess is VERY close to the vacuum -- so no getting at hard to reach or high up dirt. Don't make my mistake, DO NOT think that this will double as a canister. It won't. The electric cord however is more than ample for me to be able vacuum 1/2 a room without having to replug it. Overall it seems to be a pretty good if limited in usefulness upright, and its fairly inexpensive.

Almost feels self-propelled.

Good vacuum and good price. [...]

Have used the new Hoover vacuum for 3 weeks. Product is very sturdy and well built. I was surprised at how well it cleaned and suctioned. My air was so clean and carpet spotless. A little heavier than my Hoover Windtunnel cannister. I love both. Power cord is good length,but would've liked an additional 2-3 feet. Great on my carpet and hardwood/bare floors.

Great for picking up pet hair. Wish it were quieter and had a longer cord.

Read about it in Consumer Reports and bought it as a second vacuum. Good value!

I bought this vacuum for my mother after seeing how well rated it was on consumer reports. She needed something powerful yet light weight after having surgery. She loved it so much I bought one for myself a few weeks later. The powerful suction is unbelievable. It picks up all the pet hair and is so easy to use on the stairs because of where you hold it. I would recommend this to anyone and for thep rice you can't beat it. I wish I would have bought this before I purchased a much more expensive vaccum!

Consumers Report rated the product very highly... They are right! It is noisier than I'd like but otherwise it is better than expected.

Makes the carpet look fresh and well-kept. Even though the vacuum was not advertised as self-propelled, it takes little effort to vacuum. THANKS!

I liked the product for the price, I bought a second one for a rental...a deep cleaner for rugs

These days, everything is disposable. I didn't want to spend a whole lot of money on something that I would probably be replacing in a few years. I looked at Consumer Reports and my budget and this vaccum fit the bill. And to my delight the Consumer Reports review was on the money. It has powerful suction, moves with ease, easy to change the bag/belts, easy to use tools, wide path, even easy to assemble--I am thoroughly pleased with my purchase.

Good price for a powerful vacuum.

I like the end result of using this vaccuum, but the cord is not retractable and gets in the way. The vaccuum is heavy and the attachments aren't good for reaching into high places.
