This is a great little machine. I got one as a housewarming present, and am really quite tickled with how well it works. The amount of dirt it pulls out of the carpet is kinda scary, really. The lifetime hepa filter means no hunting for little cartridges that will become obscure in a few years. You just brush this one out, and you're ready to go again. It has an indicator light that goes on when the filter needs to be cleaned. It comes with quite possibly my favorite attachment ever, the little spinner brush thing that hooks up to the hose. The cord gathers itself at a slightly startling pace at the touch of a button.
Quite possibly my favorite part is emptying the dirt compartment. The canister unhooks with the push of a button, and then when you're over the trash can, you push another lever-thing that snaps the bottom open. No more turning it upside down, and then trying to knock that last stubborn clod out. This made me happy. The bit you push, and the handle to the canister are even towards the top, so you can drop the opening down into your trash can, and avoid breathing the dust plume.
My two complaints are more of a statement on my house than the vacuum. 24 feet sounds like a lot of cord, but really, on the ground it isn't. Also, the hose isn't that long either. It does stretch and flex admirably, but the force required to get it to stretch as far as it will go sometimes lifts the machine. It's not that heavy.

I guess there's a difference between the Elite Rewind, and the Deluxe Elite Rewind. Either that, or everyone gets a lemon from time to time. I guess I just got a great model. I've seen other people bash this vacuum left and right saying that it falls apart after a few months and becomes unreliable. I've owned my vacuum for almost a year now, and can say that it works just as great as the first time I used it. Haven't had any clog or belt problems like everyone else seems to have.
Cleaning: I don't own any pets, but I do live in a 2 bedroom apartment living with 3 other people, so pretty much every place in my apartment is considered "high traffic". This vacuum not only has great suction, but the brush roller actually fluffs the carpets and leaves them feeling new. The hand tools work great. The "pet hair attachment" works fantastic as a couch cleaning tool. Our living room also doubles as our dining room, so crumbs are inevitable. If anyone has kids, I'm sure they'll appreciate this feature.
Functionality: The rewind feature is by far my favorite thing about this vacuum. Like the other reviewer stated, it does retract the chord at a rather startling pace, but can be slowed if you just push it down half way rather than all the way. Emptying the canister is also a joy. I have allergies that are triggered relatively easily, so the dirt release feature from the bottom is a godsend. It doesn't plume up a cloud of dust and it just falls out like warm butter. The chord is a little short, but its perfect for my apartment. I can just plug it in to the outlet in my hallway and reach just about everywhere. I'm sure larger households would require a little more maneuvering. This vacuum is quite possibly one of the quietest for the price. I only have 2 other vacuum's to compare it too, but it's certainly the quietest of the 3. Same with maneuverability. It glides on my carpet and hard floors very easily. I think it may be self propelled because it barely requires any pushing at all.
Maintenance: Cleaning the filter is pretty simple. All you have to do is twist off the collector inside the canister and rinse off the filter with warm water and let it dry overnight. You can take a toothbrush to the filter and scrape off the dust to keep it dry, but I prefer rinsing it off and letting it dry overnight so I can be sure its 100% clean and dust free. Same principle applies to the canister. Just rinse it out and let it drip dry over a paper towel and you'll be set. I can't give any input on the internal maintenance of this vacuum, as I've never had to clean out the hoses or replace a belt. I guess I'm lucky in that aspect.
Overall for the price, I don't think it gets any better than the Deluxe Elite Rewind from Hoover. The ease of upkeep and functionality of this vacuum definitely deserves a 5 star rating. Again, I'm sure there are lemons out there, and not all of them are manufactured as solid as the one I purchased. If you do get a well constructed one, you won't want to use anything else.

This is going to be a synopsis of the reviews from the average reviewer and my experience. This is excluding the reviews that infer this is absolutely the best vacuum with no faults, to the ones that think this is a horrible vacuum. Of course you always get the off the wall reviews, plus the ones that give it one star because a part was missing, was damaged in shipment or just did not work when they got it. Every knowledgeable person should know this does happen with any item. And does not mean it's a bad product. Amazon is excellent at solving these kind of problems if you let them know within 30 days of getting the product.
Let me start with the negative.
Lot's of reviewers said the electric cord was to short. And I agree with them, I have a open floor plan "which is fairly common in Florida" and it is to short for my large great room. But 24 feet is not that short. Just takes a little extra effort, no big deal. Don't forget this has a automatic cord rewind, which makes it easier to shift from one wall outlet to the next without dragging electrical cords with you.
Another complaint was the flexible vacuum hose was to short. Which I totally agree with, it's extremely awkward and difficult trying to hand vacuum furniture dragging the vacuum behind you. One solution would be if they supplied an extra extension hose. I'm going to look for one, should be something out there that fits.
Another is the on/off foot switch which is on the bottom, which some reviewers mentioned. Yes it would be more convenient if there was a on/off switch on the handle. Can't change it, so it's probably just a matter of getting used to it on the bottom.
Someone mentioned " and probably took a star off for " that they keep running over the electrical cord when vacuuming because it's mounted to low on the vacuum. True it's mounted low, but that is what the hook on the upper handle is for. It's to hook your electrical cord over so it's out of the way when vacuuming.
They also mentioned you can't turn off the rotating brushes on the bottom. This is true and could be a problem if you are hand vacuuming and the brushes are set low and sitting on a wood or carpeted floor. If left there for an extended period of time they could do damage to the material underneath the brushes. Probably a good idea to raise the brushes when hand vacuuming.
Quite a few reviewers said the belts are lousy and break easily. I have not had that problem as of yet. Probably if you keep it away from larger loose items on the floor that will be sucked up into the vacuum this might not happen. I suspect the engeneers anticipated this problem and chose the inexpensive belt to fail as apposed to a much more expensive internal part, similar to a fuse in an electrical system. But just in case I bought extra belts. They are extremely inexpensive to buy. As they say a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link, in this case it's the belt.
I am sure you will find more negatives if you read all of the reviews. But I found these to be my major concerns with this vacuum.
Now for the positive.
This thing looks great and also looks like it will get the job done. ( And it does} Just look at it, powerful looking, beautiful red color " I'm thinking of putting racing stripes on it" Just a beautiful looking vacuum.
It's cleaning ability is outstanding. I picked up so much dirt out of my carpet and rugs I could not believe what I was seeing.
I have a cat, and using the Pet Hair Tool it also does an outstanding job of getting cat hair off the furniture. - NOTE::; For quick pet hair cleanup try this brush Evercare Company 2300 "Magik" Brush with Two Surfaces it works well.
Watching the dirt go in and knowing when the canister is full was amazing to me. Unlike the bag vacuums, where you had no idea when it was full.
Emptying the canister was a snap, easy out, easy cleaning and easy in. Yes some dust does come out when emptying the canister. Best to do in a garage or downwind outside. You can use a cheap paper face mask when cleaning it out if you are concerned with breathing the dust.
The automatic cord rewind is a great feature, and works well.
Also the height of the rotating brushes are extremely easy to adjust up or down.
I found this vacuum works equally well on ceramic tiles, carpet and throw rugs, I use it on all three. Caution!! It will suck up the ends of throw rugs, particularly if they have loose ends or tassels on the edges. On any hard flat surface such as ceramic tiles or wood its probably best to raise the brushes since they tend to kick and slide whatever they encounter across the floor.
The vacuum has holders for the flexible hose and all the attachments that come with it. Which is nice and handy.
It also has a convenient handle to carry the vacuum from room to room, or to where you are going to empty it out at.
Finally it has a great head light, I guess that's in case you want to vacuum or cruise around at night.
In Conclusion
This is a solid 4 1/2 + star vacuum, particularly for the Gold Box special price or even the regular price. I'm sure there are better vacuums out there if you choose to spend 3 or 4 times more. So far I am extremely happy with this vacuum, and very glad I bought it.
UPDATE;::: I have used my vacuum for over a year now, No broken belts, No strange noises and the suction is just as good as when it was new.
In the last year I have watched the price of this vacuum fluctuate between 65 to 165 dollars on Amazon which is totally ridiculous. So do your homework before you buy this.
