Summary: Hoover Tempo
Comment: I would like to have known someone else was going to get them the same gift. I purchased this vacuum a while back for myself and one for a good friend. We both think it is a terrific product. This last one (the third one I purchased) was an X-Mas gift, and had to be returned for the reason above. It was my own fault, but it really bothered me I had to pay so much for the return shipping cost. In the future, I'll be a little reluctant to purchase another item by mail, especially a large item. I still think Amazon is a great company.

Summary: Not for Cleaning up After a Parrot
Comment: Hoover Tempo Vacuum, U5140900 (Blue) (43"H x 13"W x 13"D)
This vac is not for very light weight dirt, such as parrot feathers, as the exhaust stream that comes out of the side of the vac is so strong it blows the dirt all around the room before the vac can capture it, turning a small job into a much larger one.

Summary: Awesome vacuum at a great price
Comment: In this economy you need something that is affordable yet can do the job. This vacuum fills both those needs. Most powerful vacuum I have used which I need for pet hair. I agree with all that say this is better than the bag-less versions as it does not smell and easy to replace the bag. Consumer Reports had it dead on as this vacuum beats most if not all more expensive ones that are just needed to vacuum carpet and flooring.

Summary: GREAT for price
Comment: This vacuum is awesome. My carpets look fluffier and more luxurious everyday. The price is amazing for the quality of vacuum you get. For that price it's definitely worth a try. Because I was switching from a bagless I thought bags would be a hassle but am actually quite happy that I don't have to deal with the dust and dirt coming out of a canister. I will mention that this vacuum is loud, like airplane, jet-engine loud but I can tolerate it because the carpets look better than they ever have and I loved the price.

Summary: Great Value
Comment: If you're looking for an allergy vacuum, save money and get this one, because no vacuum really functions well for that purpose, no matter how expensive it is or how many HEPA filters it has.
Why? Because all portable vacuums that suck also blow. The greater the suction, the greater the velocity of the air they blow out. And the wind they create stirs up allergens from your floor and furniture into the air, where they float until you finish, then settle back on the floor and furniture.
So, for the money, this is a great little machine. I only have two complaints: first, I keep running over the electrical cord. You're supposed to be able to attach it up the back of the cleaner, but the picture in the instruction book is different from the vacuum, so I couldn't figure it out. I may just use a twist tie to secure it.
Second, the "bag full" indicator stopped working after I changed bags, but this is my third vacuum with an indicator, and none of them work, so I guess it's normal.
But it's a Hoover, it's powerful, and inexpensive. I recommend it.
