Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Set this lightweight vacuum in a closet like a broom (or hang it from its handle hole) and use it just as often and just as conveniently. Weighing just 7 pounds and standing 47 inches high, the vacuum's nozzle, powered by a 430-watt motor, cleans carpets with a brush and cleans bare floors after the brush has been retracted by the flick of a lever. The plastic vacuum has no bags to mess with. Instead, it captures dirt in a chamber, inside of which is a special, permanent, washable "cyclonic" filter. The chamber detaches for emptying and is transparent so the dirt level can be monitored. Additional convenience is provided by a 3-foot hose with a crevice tool attached and a handle for lifting the vacuum horizontally to clean stairs. The cord measures 20 feet, and the vacuum assembles quickly with a single screw (which is included). Hoover provides a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

1.0 out of 5 stars Sucks only figuratively., December 3, 2001

By	Benjamin Scott (SEATTLE, WA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've owned a Quik-Broom encore for almost a year. Never once have I used it that I haven't been on my hands and knees using the hose attachment in the vain hope of picking up a piece of lint or crumb. Purchase this vacuum only if you don't care about cleanliness; it will never help you achieve it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Does A Good Job, May 11, 2004

By	diane (southampton, ma United States) - See all my reviews

I received my Hoover S2551 Quick Broom in 5 business days from my order, which was excellent considering it was free shipping. It was easy to put together, and I used it right away. It did a good job of picking up dirt, dog hairs, pine needles, and miscellaneous bits from both my hard floors and carpeting. You should not expect this vac. to do the job of a $200 carpet vacuum but is a good choice for everyday quick pickups. My only criticism is the hard little wheels which seem to be the norm for this type of vac. I know they are scratching my wood floors and I use them very carefully on these floors. Otherwise, a good little vac.
