3.0 out of 5 stars
pretty good vacuum at a pretty good price,
By
This review is from: Hoover Remanufactured Empower Upright Vacuum, Bagless, Color May Vary, U5200-9RM (Kitchen)
First, this is a much better vacuum than a Eureka that I'd paid more than twice as much for five years ago, and finally gave away because it was so loud that it hurt my ears. The Hoover has very good suction, easy carpet adjustment, and is quite light and easy to maneuver.
The good news: --very good power --easy to clean filters --clever rotary-brush gizmo that attaches to the auxiliary hose and is self-powered by the flow of vacuum air (similar principle to a turbo on a car) and is very handy for cleaning carpet on stairs --reasonably quiet, includes soft brush and crevice tool The bad news: --mine came with the hose clip broken, and I couldn't be bothered to return it. --too many switches, including "hush" setting (very little difference) and "power boost" (ditto) --for some ergonomic reason that I haven't fully analyzed, it's very easy to spill the dust bucket when you're removing it, but then you get the hang of it. --if you ever have to replace the belt, you have to remove about eight screws and then make sure various little plastic pieces line up when you put it back together, or you have to take it apart again to do it right (not that such a thing would ever happen to me, of course) --most seriously, the auxiliary hose and wand extension is WAY too short for cleaning the typical eight-foot ceiling. I can reach (barely) because I'm 6'2", but the proverbial "average" person might have trouble. I'm sure you could buy an extension wand, but it would probably cost more than the vacuum. However, if all you want is a competent vacuum at a cheap price, this is a pretty good unit.

Vacuuming is no longer an exercise in futility.,
This review is from: Hoover Remanufactured Empower Upright Vacuum, Bagless, Color May Vary, U5200-9RM (Kitchen)
This is a wonderful vacuum. I hadn't vacuumed in months because of my dead stick-vac, and this wonderful machine destroyed all dust particles that have ever existed in the universe! Seriously, it's a great vacuum. A few days after it removed months of accumulated dust and hair and whatnot, a mirror I had bought fell and shattered into a billion little pieces all over my carpet. Thank goodness I had this new vacuum. The glass was gone instantly.
Silent mode is also genius, especially if you live in an apartment building where sound travels easily or y'know, don't want your eardrums to explode every time you need to vacuum. Cleaning it is quite easy, too, for a filter/bagless vacuum. They will always be a pain, no matter how they try and say it's as easy as dumping out the collected dirt from the container. But, because of the double filtration system, it's not as bad as it could be. I'd say the only major draw back to this vacuum is that, if I'm not careful, it will eat my curtains and various power cords that I have strewn about the floor. It's so powerful...almost too powerful.......

Good vacuum, but beware of condition...,

This review is from: Hoover Remanufactured Empower Upright Vacuum, Bagless, Color May Vary, U5200-9RM (Kitchen)
The vacuum itself is actually very good. It sucked so many things out of my carpet, it made me ashamed (and annoyed) of my previous equipment. The hush mode is a nice addition, and does work as long as you move the 'power mode' out of the lock position. It is actually pretty quiet, but I think it reduces the power too, since if you the power boost it sounds almost like in normal mode. However, I cleaned in 'hush' mode and it worked wonderfully. I ended up with the yellow version of the cleaner.
The thing that did not impress me is that while many of the pieces look brand new, the actual base of the vacuum is obviously old and used and the silver plastic is 'yellowed' like it was left out in the sun or something. I guess it was good I got the yellow model, so it kind of matches. There are even squares in the yellowed area where I guess stickers were removed after the damage that shows the original silver color underneath. It is a shame, since otherwise it was in great condition. The filter, brushes, etc. looked brand new. However, these are ultimately just cosmetic things, and the machine itself seems to work well. For the price, it is still worth it, but I just wish the base was not so ugly since that is something you cannot change. The other thing that annoyed me is that it is listed as "Re-manufactured" instead of "Re-conditioned", which I believe mine was. After researching the differences between the two terms, I found the following: "Remanufactured equipment is virtually indistinguishable from new products in appearance, quality, and reliability. Reconditioned equipment provides a similar set of equipment deliverables without undergoing the full replacement remanufacturing process and may show wear". I find this product being listed as re-manufactured as misleading, so if you buy this, just be prepared for possible discoloration or noticeable wear.
