HooverComplete Performance Advanced Pet Kit, Corded Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner with HEPA Filter, UH30650, Grey

For the most part, I love this vacuum. After years of bagless, I finally admitted that, with bad allergies, bagged is the only way. Ended up buying this because we are dealing with a flea issue and a dust buster wasn't going to cut it, hardwood floors or not. The main issue I have is that the tools don't lock onto the hose, so they fall off constantly when vacuuming the couch. Probably not a big concern with normal use, but if you are relying on the tools for half the cleaning, it's very annoying.After two months of constant use, the suction is still great and no horrid smells (another pet peeve), which is a huge improvement over past bagged vacuums. For the price, I am thrilled with this purchase.

I have only ever used Hoover brand name because I like them. I bought this model and didn't realize how light it was. I tried it and was worried about the power, but it is AMAZING! It can carry 2 of the 3 tools onboard. Perhaps it has a spot for all 3, but I have not read the directions yet. The unit was so, so easy to put together. Less than 1 minute. I love how the bag slides into a holder now. No filter falling off the pipe like some of the old models at times! I am surprised because I didn't think a newer model would be as good as one I have from 20 years ago, but it is!! I am pretty happy, and have already used it all over my house. I am so happy with this purchase!

I wish I purchased a bagged vacuumed sooner. Definitely cleans better than any canister vacuum I’ve owned. Great suction, perfect on hard surfaces and various carpets, and keeps cat hair at a minimum. Really enjoy the various attachments as well.

POOR PERFORMANCE. NOT AS STRONG AS MY WIND TUNNEL. I HAVE 6 VACUUMS INCLUDING 2 DYSON. I AM A VACCUUM GURU... THERE ARE OTHERS THAT CLEAN BETTER. THIS IS NOW A CLOSET ORNAMENT

I purchased this to replace a Dirt Devil bagged upright I bought in 2018 that stopped working a few weeks ago. I was already irritated that vacuums barely make it 4 years -- the Dirt Devil had replaced a 3-year-old Hoover -- but at least I only paid $49 for the Dirt Devil, and it had worked adequately until it stopped.I decided to see if the same model was available, but there were only similar bagless versions. I don't know who conned everyone into thinking these were a good idea. Disposing of a vacuum bag is simple and mess-free. I really don't want to take Benadryl and use an N95 mask and goggles just to dump out the filthy contents of a full canister.I decided to spend more money this time, mistakenly believing it would mean a better machine. But I can unequivocally say this vacuum sucks.This vacuum is beastly-heavy and difficult to maneuver. It has no light to see into corners and under tables, so if you want to see while cleaning I guess you could mount a battery tap light, or use your iPhone flashlight. The offboard "tool" is hilarious. I think it is marketed as a stair cleaner. My cheap Dirt Devil had an attachment with a rotary brush that actually worked on stairs and upholstery. This flimsy thing doesn't even make sense because it somewhat obstructs the hose with dinky, plastic ridges. Were they supposed to be brushes? This makes me think someone never followed up with the design, and the manufacturers just built it to the initial sketch. Kind of like Stonehenge in Spinal Tap.I could almost deal with all of that if it weren't for the fact that this thing is seriously loud -- like orders of magnitude louder than any vacuum I've ever had, and I'm 58 years old and got my first apartment when I was 18. I've operated leaf blowers that weren't this loud. I've stood on airport tarmacs that were quieter. Even with my noise-canceling earplugs, this monster gave me tinnitus. My husband mentioned it. My daughter mentioned it. I'm sure the next-door neighbors wondered if I had fired up a wood chipper.What else? Well, it vibrates. Not a little, and not innocuously, but enough to make my hands feel buzzy and burning after 15 minutes of vacuuming. And after all this? It still doesn't have the suction of my old less-than-$50 Dirt Devil. Over and over I rolled, no light to assist, like pushing a wheelbarrow loaded with bricks ... and the dog hair still didn't come up without a LOT of work.My house is ordinary. It's dusty, not filthy. I wasn't trying to clean an abandoned building—just a regular home with low-pile rugs and hardwood floors.I've hated buying appliances for the last 20 years. Everything is disposable. Nothing ever works as well as ANY version I had decades ago, not even if I pop for an expensive brand. (I had a Dyson before the Hoover. It lasted 5 years.) Nothing is repairable, so into the landfill with another pile of junk every few years.Late-stage capitalism is a dirty business. And because of it -- because of corporate greed and cut-corners and cheaply-made/profit-maximized crap-- there isn't even an affordable vacuum to clean it up.Don't buy this.
