For a compact, lightweight electric-broom style vacuum, this Hoover does a much better job than some canister vacs I've had in the past. The suction power is impressive, picking up everything from feathers to fine dust particles. It's very light and easy to move and lift. The clear plastic over the beater bar lets you see what the vac is sucking up, and the bagless system lets you retrieve objects very easily (handy for earring backs, etc). The only drawback to this machine is that the suction area of the beater bar is not as wide as someone used to a canister vac would expect. For someone with a smaller living space or as a supplement to a full-sized vac, this machine is ideal.

What a disappointing product. I needed to replace my Hoover Brush Vac, a dependable lightweight stick vacuum cleaner I use in between major weekly cleanings, mainly to keep the golden retriever fur under control. I was hoping to find another brush vac, maybe one whose plastic parts were a little more sturdy, but basically the same set up. It has been "improved" right out of existence. This Quik-Broom seems to be trying to be both a light duty product and a serious vacuum cleaner. It is failing badly at both. The brush head slides on (no screws), and so slides off again whenever it pleases. The short, flimsy hose attachment serves no real purpose except to necessitate the relocation of the cord wrap bracket, which is now right above floor level. The corresponding top cord bracket is almost three feet above it, which turns wrapping everything up into an aerobic endeavor. Another surprise is the weight of the thing. Why is something almost completely plastic so uncomfortably heavy and awkward to push? But, the icing on the cake is its inability to vacuum underneath anything. Due to an extended platform on the back of the cleaner head, when the handle is tipped back, say to vacuum under the coffee table, the entire brush head lifts up. Just right up off the floor. Forget cleaning under the sofa or beds. I expected better from Hoover.

I like this product. It is wonderful for hardwood floors and ceramic tile. It picks up dirt and dog hair on these surfaces without a problem. However, I don't use the rotating brush on carpets much because the dog hair gets stuck in it and the brush has to be cleaned constantly. This is the best quik-broom I've used so far and it beats taking out the heavy canister vac when you just want a quick pickup for tracked in dirt on your floors. I'm buying a second one for my upstairs.

I owned a hoover 4 amp runabout for 8 years and used it 2x daily! When it finally gave out I went searching for a replacement. After trying several brands I was nervious I would need to buy a broom! I researched the Hoover 2610 and based on reviews decided to give it a try...I'm so glad I did! It has alot of power and does a great job on hard floors and rugs! Combine this stick vacuum with the Eureka Enviro Steemer and you will cut your time and effort in half! Don't be afraid to try it, You will not be dissapointed! As soon as their available, I'll be ordering another one for my Father in-law!

I found that this vacuum does not lie flat enough to get under even moderately low furniture. Also it has no way to stand up by itself without falling. Otherwise, I do like the vacuum. It seems to have sufficient suction and I do like the on/off beater bar option.

I don't actualy own this product my sister does, but I did use it once. The horibble review she would give it would take a page or two, so I will give you my experience. We had a little saw dust on her carpet from sawing 1 piece of moulding. The 4 month old product with an empty cup only managed to move the saw dust around alot. Mind you, it did do a superb job of pushing the saw dust into the carpet.

i was kind of sceptical at first about what kind of power this light weight could possibly have...but to my suprise..it is a very powerful..light weight machine..i have a small hairy puppy..and besides all the hair he leaves behind he makes lots of messes for me to clean up..this light weight quick broom takes care of it all...i'm very,very pleased with this product. i highly reccomend it to any one who is looking for quality proformance in a light weight vac...sincerely

I have used an "electric broom" for years for my hardwood floors. This is my 3rd one and up until this vacuum, I loved these small simple vacuums. On this Quick-Broom Hoover, however, the bagless feature is completely inoperable. After vacumming a few times a week for a month, there will be a couple of grains of sand in the visable easy-to-empty dirt container. All of the dirt, dust, dog hair, spilled food, etc. is converted to a greyish-brownish mat and is housed above the dirt container clinging to an internal non-disposable filter. In order to "empty" this vacuum you have to turn the filter (which is like a non-removable bag) inside out and hand pick out the greyish brown mat of gunk. In other words, its perpetually clogged -- the dirt container has never had more than a few grains of sand in it. In all fairness, I do have a sheltie who has long hair and its possible that this vacuum might work in a household without animals. But......I would suggest you buy at your own risk.

I've had this same model of vaccuum cleaner for several years, and really enjoyed it, when after a while, the motor burned out in the beater brush area. I purchased another one, thinking okay, I'll have this one for at least three years like the other one. Nope. The new one only lasted about a month, and burned out, in the exact same area. If purchasing this vaccum make sure that you clean any hair that wraps itself around the roller, out of the brush or it will burn out on you very quickly.

The Quick-Broom provides decent performance and value for the price. Decent power but fairly noisy as well. The tube for nozzle attachment is too short to be practical. A flatter, wider sweeping head would be an improvement. Since I don't need those super-powerful and heavy benemoths, this product does what I need it to do adequately.
