The vacum is great. My only problem is the noise level.  This is my third Hoover wind tunel. All have been great and all have been noisy.

This machine does a great job on my carpet.  I have four cats and a dog and the light colored carpet gets a work out.  I can't say that clean up is a breeze, though.  The brushes and difficult to clean as the pet hair that the vacuum couldn't get will turn into wet globs in the casing around the brushes.  I had to use a dental pick to get it out.  And it's noisy.  All the pets run away from the sound and I'm thinking I need ear plugs next time I use it when doing more than one room.  It's not too heavy, but my arms get a good workout (side benefit).  I'm happy with the job it does and would recommend.

It does a decent job of cleaning the air but; the UV light has this horrible high pitched whine that we could hear from down the hallway.  Cleaning is easy and it only needs it once a week.  I would probably buy again, but take a deeper look at competitors.

I like the volume that this humidifier holds. I like the volume that it can expel during a long night. I like how easy it is to fill. My only complaint is the noise that it makes. On top of the fan, which is crazy loud at any setting above 3, there is also a whirling noise that is pretty annoying. It might be coming from the motor itself, but it is separate from the noise of the fast moving air. I have not figured out how to make it quieter and it is annoying at times.

The Purifier is good. But in ionizing mode it emits high frequency noise, which is unbearable.
I have to turn off the ionizer :(

I bought this to replace a Bionaire air purifier that was purchased in the early 1990's. So far, I am really pleased. I don't find the unit to be loud at all. We leave it running 24/7 unless one of the kids turns it off because they like to press the buttons. The filter is NOT washable according to the instruction manual. However, you can vacuum it. I think the only way this could be improved would be if it could rotate.

This little pump really puts out plenty of air and runs all the bubble stones, bubble treasure chest, bubble sunken ship, bubble wand, and my scuba guy and only have the dial turned a little.  The only problem is that it is really noisy.  Who said it's quite. Well it's NOT, in fact I had to put a plastic cover over it and I have it on an old mouse pad to try and absorb some of the humming noise it makes.  You definitely wouldn't want it in your bedroom.  Not bad in the family room cause the TV is on so it's bearable.  But I was looking for more air and that's what I got...

I am very happy with this vacuum cleaner.  I notice I do not have to dust as often.  The only drawback is the weight.

It does a great job of cleaning up but it's VERY LOUD!!! Picks up large and small particles but it's loud. Did I mention it's loud?! May scare small children and animals.

Oreck has mastered the light weight and powerful suction, but its SUPER LOUD! Sounds like a jet engine. Should come with ear plugs.  I clean professionally and I have one commercial space which takes 30 minutes to vacuum.  I will damage my hearing if I don't get some earplugs.  Also, no hand tools.  How do I reach under desks or around cords or in crevices to vacuum?  You don't with this vacuum.  I have a $100.00 Kenmore canister vacuum which solves all these problems, and its ALOT quieter.

It has been great.
Only negative is the noise it makes when on low and not so bad on medium.
Makes a noise like it is off balance.
Still works great for sucking up dust.

I'm reviewing this for the noise it makes on the quiet setting. It's a very soothing noise and much better than my other purifier. I sleep well with it on low.

Ive had mine for two months, so here is my critique.  This really has good suction, and the beater bar does it's job well. When the beater bar engages, it is much noisier than I expected. So much so, I made a video and sent it to Hoover for their opinion. (they said it was normal).  The hand tools are nicely stowed, and the little hand held mini brush-sucker works surprisingly well. The air powered brush rotates with more power than I expected. The flexible hose, although longer than you would thing, doesn't retract completely when returned to it's storage position, and results in it flopping around. The power cord could use another 10ft AND be more flexible. It feels brittle to me, and just doesn't have that soft flexible feel that my old Hoover had. It also comes out of the machine on the lower part of the machine head, so by the time you put it in the clip at on the handle, you have wasted 3 or 4 feet before you even leave toward the wall plug. Even though they say this has 30ft of cord, it just does not feel like it. Emptying the bag, probably after a few times practice, should he a breeze. They have a well thought out solution for installing and releasing the 'damn bag' from the body. All in all, this seems to be working well and is very good what I bought it for, which is a versatile cleaning machine.

The only thing I wish is that the noise it makes when you are looking for it was louder.

The HONEYWELL HFD-130 ,works well. IT CLEANS THE AIR as advertised and the filter is easy to clean, the gauge on top is a usefull tool . The down side is , the fan noise, other than low is to loud at night to sleep through . even across the room. To some people its proably ok , I just don't like that type of sound when sleeping. Other than that a good product, at a good price.

I dealt with the noise of it by keeping it on all the time like white noise. After a while, I forgot about what that loud hum might be. I had smoke from wildfires this summer and it was a great machine to have.

We love our new Hoover in terms of its powerful cleaning action and good design.  It does a great job cleaning small area rugs.  The only small problem is  the noise level when cleaning rugs.  We initially thought that there was a problem with the motor and so requested a replacement  brush unit.  This produced the same result so the noise is probably related to the strong rotating brushes when being used on rugs.
