it is a good vacuum easy to store I just wish it had bags for changing when full

I just take out the little filter bag and shake it over the trash or use a whisk broom to get it cleaner. I've had mine for over a year, and I haven't needed a new filter yet.

On the other hand, buying bags would nearly obliterate the low-cost advantage.As for the filter, I rinse mine after brushing dust away, and replace it after it dries overnight.

I use this vacuum pretty heavy duty and it is up there in suction with many higher priced models. What I love about this one is the design. It's easy to use, everything you need is on the vac including a small but handy attached. It's lightweight, stores easily and easy to empty

it comes with an extra bag. i bought some extra to take advantage of the free shipping since i was already buying the vacuum. i've heard the bags are hard to find, so i just bought some to have on hand.

Works very well on carpets and rugs. I don't care for it as much on bare floors unless I use a non- rotating attachment. The way you disable the rotating brushes on the standard attachment is by this trigger that opens up an air inlet thereby causing the brush mechanism to lose suction and stop turning. Problem is that it seems to also lower the suction overall so it doesn't pick up a lot of stuff. My solution is to use one of the optional attachments or to just let the brushes run even on bare floors. They are soft and don't leave any scratches. Overall I really like this vacuum cleaner. It seems effortless to move around. Much better than my old canister vacuum. It also takes up surprisingly little room.

It is like a regular vacuum bag. It works great but not needed. I use them so I don't have to clean the inside just take the bag out when it's full.

Vacuums are about 2 years old. They are reliable and keep the dust down inside the house. The only thing I do not like is the indicator shows it needs cleaned after one use. It still has good suction though so u could prob use couple more times. I just used one this morning.

The vacuum is powerful and it sucks up dirt easily. The only thing you need to be aware of is there is no rotating brush to dig up the dirt in the carpet like other upright vacuum cleaner. It works great on hard wood floors.

Hoover Linx is great as a second vacuum. It's light weight and does a good job if you don't have a lot of carpet. The problem I had with it was that if you don't lock it in an upright positon and it falls, the handle breaks. This happened and I bought Linx to replace it and it happened again. This time I called Hoover and they sent me another handle.

We have owned this vaccuum for a couple of years and it has worked properly. One key is to keep the filter clean. There is a tool supplied that allows you to clean it; if the light on the vaccuum starts to blink, it means the filter is dirty. For the money, it's a decent machine that is flexible in its function.

Same request. We live near the beach. Dog hair plus sand. Need a bagged hardwood floor vacuum. Why would anyone prefer bagless, I don't want to have to deal with all that gunk once I vacuum it up. I wanted it neatly stored in a vacuum bag so I can just toss it and not breathe it or get it gunk dust all over me.Anyone know of anyother sites to learn more about making an informed choice?

I have had the vacuum for about six months and I just empty it and brush it a little with my finger. I think it would be easy to wash it out if you want. I like the bagless vacuums.

The vacuum came with two bags. The filter is paper, so I don't think you can wash it, and there is no light to let you know when the bag is full.

This is a pretty nice vacuum cleaner. Yes it has some small attachments. A small one with brush housed in a pocket on bottom of vacuum, a medium sized one, a large floor attachment and 2 extension tubes. It is very powerful, I use the tubes with no attachments to clean many tight places like around mini blinds. The large Hepa filter is washable. I've had this vacuum for some time, I like it, it really helps me keep my place clean and eats dust really well.

Though there's a lot of negative reviews with this vac, it's not that bad of an appliance. It does a good job for a cheaply priced canister. One does not expect to get the same quality one could get from purchasing a canister for several hundred dollars. I've knocked the attachment storage off the handle a few times and it's easy to put back on as C. M. Hanes explains. I've had it a year now and the only thing that needs replacing is the HEPA filter. And being bag less means that it's a bit messy to empty as all bag less models are.

its easy for me to push, when you put a new bag it, it will suck the carpet so hard its a little hard to push but its cleaning the dirt up . this vacuum is on every top 10 list of vacuums there is out there. with vacuums that cost three times as much as this one does. it does a very good job and its highly rated. by testing companies. as far as the bags go there the standard bags or he-pa filter bags, amazon carries them.

The vacuum weighs 16lbs, which is not a light machine. Two things that make that okay, even good: 1) the vacuum is very maneuverable due to the ball design, so it's easy on the wrist and very nimble to turn. You don't feel the weight when you're pushing the vac around; 2) the weight of the vacuum means that you don't have to push down into the carpet in order to get good suction. I have had mine for around a year now and still like it a lot. The vacuum does what a good vac should do -- pulls up a surprising amount of dust from carpets.

The vac is so light it is a breeze to carry which makes it more portable. I previously had a small vac with wheels and it kept tipping over.
