This review is from: Hoover U5171-900 Fold Away Widepath Upright Vacuum (Kitchen)

when i first got this vacuumm i bought mainly for our basement and living area and bedrooms. Ive owned it for about a year or so now and it is worthless. The main problem is that the bagless area can barely hold any dirt what so ever after vacuumming three times, the bag is full and needs to be emptied. also the filter gets dirty easily too so i should've listened to my son. BUY a dyson its filterless. Sure the dyson is pricy but its worth it!!!!

This is the worst vacuum I've ever wasted my money on! I have to clean the filter EVERY FEW MINUTES while vacuuming (that is not an exaggeration!). This vacuum just cannot handle pet hair at all, and using carpet powder is out of the question. Buying bags for my old vacuum is proving to be less of a hassle after using this 'bagless', useless vacuum.
