Purchased this Hoover 3 months ago. I currently have a Eureka Mighty Mite and decided that I wanted to have another lightweight canister vacuum for downstairs. I happened to come across the Hoover Bright Orange canister vacuum and thought it was so neat looking, and since it was a Hoover - how could you go wrong.

Well the problems are as follows: suction - fair at best; wand connecting to the head won't stay put - it keeps coming apart no matter how hard you push the wand into the head; the bag - since I wasn't getting any suction I checked the bag and found that though it was only half-filled, the bottom of the bag had disintegrated - this happened twice. I'm not sure if this was due to its close proximity to the filter/motor, but I have never had a bag do this on any other vacuum cleaner I've owned.

Sorry to say, but it's a great looking vacuum, but that's the only thing going for it.

Definitely buy the Eureka Mighty Mite if you're looking for a vacuum for light cleanups.

2.0 out of 5 stars Looks good, performs ok, falls apart though, October 5, 2005

I love to look at my little orange hoover and it doesn't do a bad job of cleaning up a 1 bed apartment that includes hard wood floors and a shaggy rug. But!!! It is SO annoying to use because the "telescoping chrome wands" will not stay fixed together. You will spend half of your cleaning time putting the attachements together...and watch out when they fall they don't break something. I hope Hoover read these reviews and change this design fault. Until they do I recommend you go for something else.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hoover Canister ORANGE vacuum, January 9, 2007

I LOVE this little orange vacuum! A lot of design and thought went into this vacuum. It's light, but pretty powerful considering the size. IT's perfect for my little house with hardwood floors and oriental rugs. I can literally carry it while vacuuming and it has a dial that you can actually vary the degree of suction with. In other words you can turn the suction down far enough to dust delicate things like lamp shades, or up enough to vacuum rugs! I've never seen this feature in any vacuum before and I love it. It only has one attachment though, which is why I only gave it 4 stars instead of 5. It really could use a corner attachment so you could vacuum corners with something other than the metal pipe, (or the samll brush) that will scratch hardwood floors.
