HushTone Commercial Vacuum Cleaner, 13 Inch, Bagged Upright Vac

The 1,200 Watt motor truly provides best-in-class suction. In use it is lifting the carpet, and to me it really can provide single-pass vacuuming. That is really deep-cleaning the carpet. The vacuum is used for commercial use, and I mean 1.5 to 2 hours daily. So, go through a lot of their bags. Their AH10243 allergen bag traps everything, and doesn't tear in the bag chamber unlike some cheaper made products. The HEPA filter snaps on along the side of the bag chamber and is easy to clean and change. There is this Hexagard carbon filter that mounts just inside before the HEPA filter, too, that is supposed to help reduce odor from the vacuum. What I really like is that Hoover made is super simple to remove the brushroller to clean it. No need to go hunting for a screwdriver and fear of losing screens. The original belt still looks new. Finally, there is a "hush" quiet mode which slows the motor and cuts the operating noise while vacuuming around people. It DOES reduce suction; however, it is a very thoughtful feature. Bag, belt, brush, filter changes are super easy. Tools onboard are easy to get to, and the hose is plenty long. If needing a longer hose that is what the cannister vacuum is for. The body seems build sturdy, too. So with that sturdiness and all those tools onboard, the penalty is weight. When tilted back there is more weight in hand (true of all these tools-onboard vacuums). And the generous 40 feet cord means you are carrying 20 Lbs. Luckily, there is a convenient carry handle built into the lower cord hook, and it does help a lot. Overall, a very thoughtfully designed vacuum that just keeps on working. The vacuum sucks up everything. Isn't that what a good, solid vacuum is supposed to do? I guess that is why Hoover is a verb over in Britain where they say they are Hoovering their carpet. UPDATE: 7-15-25--still going strong. Broke a piece off something called the wand clip, but it has no effect on daily use. If you compare this to Windsor, Pro Team, and Sanitaire, this vacuum is a bargain to purchase and even more so with the maintenance. I only wish the handle weight in hand was slightly lighter.

Most modern vacs are designed for hard floors with a few carpets and lots of animal hair. We have none of that. Our home is all plush quiet carpet. This machine is a dream. It sounds lovely. Quiet mode is just that. It doesn't leave tire tracks. It moves effortlessly. Yes a little heavier but it feels light when underway. Long cord. Truth is, it is much easier to wrap a detachable cord around my arm and drape it on the dedicated hook. No fun to wind one around the machine like all our prior models. Don't hesitate. It is a little intimidating with its Home Depot orange cord. Once I started to use it, it was instant love :)

This vacuum has some features I love & hate. As a custodian/Bldg. mngr I use a vacuum daily & once weekly on an 80'×40' room. It has plenty of suction but the hose holder is easily broken. Notice sharp edges on lower hose keeper. The length of the detachable suction hose is slightly short for my reach & the tools are cumbersome to use & store...but they do their job. I love the cord...and how it's attached as a pigtail. I HATE that the brush roll does NOT stop when you pull the wand to suction thru the hose. A running brush roll can easily damage carpeting & hardwood. "ProTeam" vacs have brush roll cut-offs when you use the wand & when you put the vac in its upright position. Overall I'd rate this vacuum an 8 of 10...though I would not buy it again.

This thing is built like a tank. It has Excellent suction power. We have been in the cleaning business for over 30 years and this vacuum is the best hard surface floor cleaner we have ever used and we have used many. It is heavy but I knew that when I bought it. In order to be durable, powerful and tough, it is going to be a little heavy. We have tried the Dyson, the Shark and other lightweights which work well for a while. They just don’t hold up in a commercial environment. The onboard tools and suction hose do a great job as well. An extension tube would be helpful to keep from having to bend over when using it on the floor or up high. This Hoover commercial vacuum does the job it was built for.

Lets start with the positive - very good suction, maneuvers well, has a loop type handle - easier to pull. However - two significant oopses one of which can make it unacceptable for many - first - not a big deal but uncomfortable for sure - you have to unwind the power cord to use the hose / wand and as I'm at it if you wind it the way it's designed - on a short loop, it's very bulky (perhaps it's why the pictures are always showing the vac without the power). Second - this may be a deal breaker for many - the hose stretches with ease only 3'4"-3'6", after that you start feeling the pressure backwards. You can still stretch it to approx 4ft but it's becoming very uncomfortable to use the wand. You can further stretch it to approx 5ft but it's almost impossible to work the wand at this length. Pass the 5' the you will pull or tip the vacuum. If doing stairs, assume you'd be carrying the vac, not a big deal for me but I'm in gym 3x a week. For most people this will be super aggravating. Also the69db is for the lower setting. In full power the noise level is about 30% higher (my guess around 90db). Too bad I have to guess as the manufacturer does not give you this information and I posted this question but received no response (because it get noisy, of course). Personally I don't care for as long as it delivers great suction and it does. The hose rigidness however disqualifies the vac from more than one star. Add on top the cord winding on short loop which blocks the wand and the one star might be even too much. But if you're looking for just the vac with good suction - this one pulls coins without hesitation - go for it. Although a bit of warning here - as it picks up stuff perfectly from bare floors (nothing left and nothing spilled behind the vac), it does not work well on entry floor mats with w groves. Leaves sandy stuff in groves and requires using wand to get it cleaned. For one mat in residential setting not a big deal maybe but for commercial use rather a deal breaker, I'd say.

This is a great vacuum, the second one of this model I have purchased. (One for upstairs, and now another for down). Heavy, solid, a power horse of a cleaner. The only complaint is the hose is rather short, has been continuously problematic, and it does not have a power head or floor attachment as other regular household Hoovers generally have. I

I bought this vacuum after my old Windsor Sensor went kaputt, and so far, so good! I use this vacuum for residential use, and it's awesome! I really like how it can deep-clean carpets, and you notice it! Our carpets have never felt so clean. It's built to last and feels heavy-duty. I also like how the cord is separate from the machine, so you can easily replace it if need be. The biggest selling point for me is the sealed system with HEPA filtration, w/ an allergen bag! You would NOT believe how many vacuums out there are expelling dirty air: it is NOT normal for the house to smell after vacuuming. Another pro is the intellibelt system: it works! I accidentally vacuumed up a charger cord left on the ground, and the vacuum automatically turned itself off. My only small con is that I wish the wand were telescopic/longer, but it's OK. Overall, this vacuum is a great buy. Don't buy Dyson! Buy this!

The vacuum cleans my short pile carpet well, and my wood floors okay, but it's bulky and heavy. The hose attachment is stiff and gets jumbled up with the electric cord that hangs down the back. I wouldn't recommend it. Given the price, and the Hoover name (a long time family favorite), I expected it to be much better.

Overall I was impressed by the design and performance. I bought this as a replacement for a Tornado CV30 which I have used for years, however parts were difficult to get and very expensive. As some have pointed out, the hoover is heavier but I don’t consider it a deal breaker!

Best commercial vacuum I've owned. Used in our building daily for the past few months. Cleans in the first pass. Even on the boost setting this vacuum is surprisingly quiet compared to other vacuums.

Works well for our commercial use

Used this 4 times in a very small building and this park broke which makes the wheel come off. For the price of this matching it shouldn't be breaking any time soon.
