5.0 out of 5 stars Best vacuum for the price -- and I should know!, October 17, 2009

I've owned janitorial and housecleaning businesses for decades. We only use products that WORK WELL, and the Hoover Tempo is an all-time favorite. This vac will suck the hide off a hog. Nothing on the market is better for pet hair. In a perfect world, the only things I would change on the Tempo are making it lighter, and a tad more maneuverable. I've had a Hoover Tempo in my own home for several years, vacuum once a week, and am still using the belt it came with.

1.0 out of 5 stars Cheap, low quality, December 14, 2006

This was a very disappointing vacuum. I know that it is cheap, but save your money for something that works. It didn't pick up dirt very well, then the belt broke. I replaced the belt and it broke again after a couple of hours. It sat around the home taking up space for awhile before I decided to throw it away. I know Hoover used to make top notch vacuums, but evidently they got a new cost-cutting CEO or something because their vacuums now are Useless Cr__p!

I've owned this vacuum for nearly a year and have had not one problem. Purchased it on advice of consumer website. With two dogs, a cat and kids, I have always had problems with belts breaking. Not so with this one. So far so good, anyway.

Yes, it's cheap. Got mine for $80. When you see it and pick it up, you know it's cheap. But then you turn it on, WHOE NELLIE, it takes off like a bandit. Awesome suction! Thankfully, it seems to know what to pick up and what not to or I'd be pulling socks outta the thing as I've had to do with other vaccuums. Great pick up.

Now the reasons I didn't give it 5 stars.

1. The brush never shuts off even on the bare floor setting. I raised it up a little and it did the job without damaging my hardwood. Would be better, though, if I could use the lowest setting.

2. The attachments don't stay tight on the back of the machine.

3. It's odd how the cord is wound up when you're done.

4. Difficult controlling the suction when doing drapes and such.

But these are minor things for me. I'm tired of paying hundreds of dollars more for machines that don't vaccuum as well. I am very happy with this purchase.
