Excellent for Quick Clean-Ups
»
The product is excellent for quick clean-ups of area rugs & carpets. This is not meant to replace a good vac, but rather to provide an easy way to spruce up your digs in-between. Note that the item does not arrive under the Hoky moniker, but has been replaced by the Oreck name.

Poor customer service from GoVacuum - beware!
»
GoVacuum sent the wrong carpet sweeper - the Restauranteur instead of the Hoky. I tried it out, and for $84.00, it is pretty mediocre in how well it grabs carpet, picks up hair, etc. and not worth the money. There were no return instructions in the box, and so worried that by sending it back without alerting them, would not get a proper refund. So I called customer service, and left a voice mail during office hours but got no call back. I called again a week or so later, left voice mail, no response. Have kept calling, but the company has not returned any calls. They sent an email through Amazon saying that they wanted to provide outstanding customer service, and if there were any problems to please respond (they mentioned something about having noted that I'd called customer service). Sent a detailed email in response (which is also copied to Amazon), but nothing came of it. So now will have to take it up with the credit card company. This has been two months of waiting for what is a reasonable request - a refund, or in the beginning, a correction. Very shoddy customer service! Please be cautious.

Hoky PR3000- Can't live without it.
»
I first used one of these back in the eighties, and later wanted one. After installing hardwood floors and adding a couple of area rugs I needed something quiet, and efficient. I remembered one of my sister's gifts at her wedding shower-went on a search on my favorite-Amazon, and there it was. I have had it quite a while and it is easy to take apart. It is easy to clean. I have had no problems, no breakage, and would reccommend it to anyone. What is so appealing to me is that once it is full of hair-(two women in the house) the roller will come out. The ends of it come off and with them the hair ready to be disposed of in the trash. Slide the ends back into place. The bottom opens easily and what you see is a shock. No electricity. The roller can be washed or rinsed off , just make sure to remove the ends of the roller and place them in a safe location until it is dry and ready to be assembled. I have two indoor pets, and it lifts pet hair perfectly. It is so nice also not having to drag out my old vacuum cleaner so much. It is great for someone with back problems.

just ok

Just bought this from my local sew-vac dealer for $73. On tile/hard floors, the major advantage is speed of pick-up and it saves the bending-over associated with a dustpan/broom. Picks up larger particles ok (cheerios, crumbs, etc), but the fine dust, sand, and hair is harder to remove. The old broom (with polyester bristles) does a better job on the dust and fine particles. It's a bit more effective on carpet. Good for use between vaccuumings. Although, it didn't pick up the flower petals my kids scattered all over the carpet.

This item did not perform as expected on carpet. Also was charged for restocking and shipping when it was returned.
