Great Vac for the price.

I bought this vac to replace a Sears Canister vac that I've used for many years and considered it the best vacuum I'd ever owned.  I thought an upright would be easier to manage and take up less space in storage, which it does.  The suction on this vacuum is great, and I do like that I can actually see the results of my work when I empty the canister.  We have mostly wood floors and a leather sofa, so the tools haven't been that useful to me, but I was very impressed with the upholstery tool, and would have loved it with my old fabric sofa.  I had a problem for the first few weeks with the cord.  It seemed to be too short to do even one room without plugging it in on different walls. But then I discovered that it had apparently been jammed, because it was at least twice as long as I thought it was.  It works great for hard floors, and is easily switched to carpet setting for bedroom carpets and area rugs.  I gave it 4 stars because it is extremely noisy to the point I need earplugs.

After a previous hand vac only lasted 14 months (battery) and the battery costing almost as much as the original price of the hand vac, I decided to start a serious research on replacing it. I completed a research of four hand vacs found in common stores and on the internet.  What it came down to was for the price and performance, the Hoover BH50015 won out over the other three.  Two which were under the Hoover price and 1 which was $100.00 more than the Hoover.  Having used the Hoover on a daily basis, it has been a very solid performer.  Light weight, great suction, good balance and above all the removable battery which is quickly recharged with a charger that indicates when it is fully charged.

Great vacuum for the price!  Slides around like a dream, good cable length, and excellent suction power.  The additional heads/tools basically cover all you need.  Maybe not the best vacuum for a big huge house, but this works perfectly in our pretty sizable apartment.

I had really done some research before buying this vaccuum and so far I am very pleased.  The suction is amazing.  The only cons to this purchase have been that the attachment end falls out of its holder periodically.  Affordable, easy to handle, and cannot beat the suction.

I have dogs, and I've been through a variety of carpet cleaners. I start from a place of knowing that the cleaner will be put through a lot, so I don't have terribly high expectations. That said, so far this vac has done a great job.

1. the separate containers for clean and dirty water are great. they are both easy to open, fill, carry, install, empty and clean.
2. the suction has been fabulous so far. My daughter got the 'flu and had an unfortunate projectile incident in the carpeted hallway last week (*sigh*) and the vac did a great job acting as a wet vac, and then again as a cleaner. There is no trace of the Horror that occurred there. In general use, taking a few extra passes with the suction only has left the carpets barely damp. I'm impressed.
3. I haven't had occasion yet to use the attachments, so can't speak to them.
4. I don't think this is what it's meant for, but i used the vac on a low-pile, fairly lightweight area rug and it did a GREAT job.

All in all, i highly recommend this machine. I was very happy with the price point, so even if it dies after a year or so due to heavy use (and bad, bad dogs), I will feel like I got my money's worth.

I think this machine works very well, considering the price. Another reviewer  suggested taking out the filter for better suction.  I tried that and there was NO suction, So wouldn't advise that.

 I did not try the Vacuum feature, I just used a  broom and shop vac.  My tile area is outdoors.

This is a great vacuum cleaner for the price.  The suction is so strong that it can be hard to move it along a bare floor unless you use the lever to raise it up a bit from the ground.  It is very small and light which my wife likes.  You can't beat it for the price.

Great economical vacuum cleaner, i'm amazed how powerful it is for its price range.  Only CON: it is noisy, but we typically run it for no more than 15 minutes, hey but it's worth it for the price I paid.

Great vac for the money.  Unless there is heavy debris I run mine about once per week from overnight to about 24 hours depending on when I think about taking it out the next day.  Does a great job with pin oak leaves, grass, dirt and small debris.  Might have problems with bigger leaves if they are green and still stiff.

Very good suction, fairly lightweight. The cord is a bit short, but my house is small so it isn't a big problem. I added an extension cord to make it longer. It can be a bit difficult to pull it along behind you; you need to yank on it a little. Overall, I'm pleased with it's performance. A few extra tools would have been nice, like a smaller brush for carpeted stairs, but I use the upholstery brush and that works pretty well on cat hair, etc. The big beater bar that comes with it does a very good job on cat hair as well.

This vac has a lot of great suction power. It really does the job on carpets and floors. I'm glad I bought it. It is very quiet and light to move around. It takes very little effort and you wonder how the carpets get so clean.
The power head is large and does not fit under most furniture. The canister is kind of small and needs to be emptied before my house is done and I have a relatively small house. The handle does not balance on the head when you stop for a minute. I recommend it for quick and efficient carpet cleaning. The cleaning heads cannot be stored in the unit. Two small ones fit into the handle but fall out often. The dirt canister release is a little messy and you have to reach in to get the dust/hair/stuff out. The cable retract is very good. It's a little pricy but it does a good job.

This thing really picks up the dirt. I've suffered through poor performance on two battery-powered hand vacs that are nearly useless and decided I'd rather deal with a cord and get decent suction. On the box it says something like "the power of an upright in a portable". Maybe not quite, but enough to make me happy. Regarding the noise that some reviewers have complained about: Yes, it is pretty loud. About like an upright, but I think that's what you are going to get if you want decent performance. And yes, air blows out the back. It has to come out somewhere. After you use it a few times you learn not to have your face in the line of fire and it's fine. All in all, for under $30 this machine has achieved customer delight.

I am pleased with this vac. Does a good job, easy to clean and charge lasts long enough to clean my boat and then some. Good price too.
