Not the least bit deserve the patron Reports high rating that is what I used when choosing Hoover U5140-900.

BIG problem on behalf of me and a giant disappointment: It leaks mud into the air yet it’s “allergen filtration” displayed in print on the front of it. i’m terribly sensitive to mud within the air and this vacuum did not live up to the marketing hype in this regard. it had been leaky and it appeared to get worse over time. I dreaded to vacuum because of this. Poor seals appear to be the cause.

POSSIBLE problem FOR YOU: If this vacuum grabs any loose item of fabric (such as the tassels at the edge of a my rug or a loose sock) it can instantly jam the brush mechanism and it’s drive belt will burn through before you can reach for the ability switch. it will leave your house smelling of burned rubber and send you to the shop to shop for another belt. it will create a vacuum repair person out of you (a sensible skill for you to have). This was a large problem when I had to navigate around a tasseled rug bug but became a non-issue when I didn’t have the rug. I have had to interchange the belt (by myself) again and again.

Other Problem: i feel sweeping with a brush is more practical on a hard floor than using this vacuum is since it seems to blow some dirt around and therefore leaves plenty behind. but it had been excellent on carpet.

Other Problem: it is annoyingly noisy although it had been better than my previous Hoover vacuum. I keep in mind reading a review before purchase stating that the noise issue was sensible. That was misleading.

I’m sorry I kept this vacuum for as long as I did. Ear plugs and a mud mask and a space air filter are my suggested accessories for anyone using one. better yet is to shop for a vacuum that’s truly sealed up tight. 3 feet more of power cord would are nice too.
