Good & inexpensive product
»
I bought this vacumn for my daughter last Christmas. Budjet was limited and I reviewed Comsumer report picks. She loves it. I have a two-story house and lugging my $299 Windtunnel up and down the steps was a real pain. And I like it better! I bought this vacumn for one-floor use. It's great. It has the 12 amps of my Windtunnel but is narrow and gets into smaller spaces, Tools are easier to grab and is light to use. Had a hard time finding it again on Amazon. Searched several times before success. It was worth the wait.

BURNS YOUR CARPET
»
This vacuum is only three months old when I tried to vacume up a small area of dirt in the middle of my living room. What I saw as the vacuum passed over the area is a brown streak. I didn't know what it was at first. It wouldn't clean up even with detergent and hand scrubbing. I called a carpet cleaning company in and they said it was a burn! I then took the vacuum to service and they said the motor over-heated (BURNING MY CARPET IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LIVING ROOM!!). I now have to get the carpet replaced. This vacuum apparently has the same over-heating flaw that the closely related Hoover model "U5150-900 Tempo Upright Bagless Vacuum" has. Check out the Amazon reviews of that one. I will never buy a Hoover product again!!

Before you buy a "Bagless" Vac....
»
consider a few things. They market them as "easy" to empty the cannister. Easy? Is having to take the vacuum OUTSIDE to remove the cannister, dumping the cannister into a plastic bag to AVOID the MASSIVE cloud of DUST created while emptying the cylinder easy? If opened inside your home, the SAME dust you sucked out gets redeposited from the dust-cloud-fallout. If you, your children or pets have allergies....forget it. Now, about this vac. It has FILTERED air discharged while it's running. It TRAPS the dust and debris in a bag that is easily removed, kept sealed and disposed of....all without the EXTRA hassle of taking precautions to avoid a massive dust cloud. Ours replaced a 13 year-old Hoover upright that served us well but was worn out. It is VERY strong and easily maneuvered. It was easy to assemble and took only a few minutes to do so. But, be forewarned....buy it QUICK! It's only a matter of time before the sweeping tide of "bagless vacs" relegates bagged vacs to the museum, all in the name of "convenience". I beg to differ. This is a great vacuum.

Great Vacuum for a Great Price
»
I love this Vacuum. I needed to replace my old hoover that I had for 8 years. I considered getting one of the more expensive models, but decided more expensive is not always better. This vacuum proves to me that more expensive is definitly not always better. It by far outcleans my old hoover which was more expensive but it was just 7.2 amps and this is 12 amps. I have changed the bag in it about 4 maybe 5 times already, and have owned it for 2.5 monthes. I do have a long-haired cat and dog and they both shed, one pass over the hair with this vacuum and poof the hair is gone.
I really like the on board cleaning tool because it is already hooked up, my old hoover had a slot you had to hook the hose into, it is so much easier to just whip the hose off its hook and get into those small crevices. Although sometimes I do wish the hose was a little longer but then again it would probably just get in the way.
Another thing I really like about this vacuum is that it is fairly light and has a handle which makes it very easy to carry up the stairs, and you know how important this can be when you need to vacuum every other day like me (with pets).
Be careful this thing will suck up your throw rugs in a minute, you have be careful with this because the vacuum will have a horrible smell, so make sure you adjust the carpet height or it may ruin a rug.
I would reccomend the Tempo to anyone who wants a great vacuum, and heck even if it only lasts a couple years I only paid $55.00 for it.

Wonderful
»
The Hoover Tempo is a wonderful vacuum. It does a great job of cleaning the carpets and all the dust is contained in a bag. I bought this vacuum to replace a EuroPro bagless vacuum. It is so nice not to mess with filters and empting dust canisters that spill more dust into the air and floor. I will never go bagless again. This Hoover is inexpensive and does a wonderful job. Yeah! for Hoover! Yeah! for vacuums with bags!
