Product Description
Hoover, Tempo Bagged Upright Vac, Headlight, Deluxe Stretch Hose, 15" Cleaning Width, Includes Deluxe Set Of Attachments.
Amazon.com Review
The Tempo WidePath features a 15-inch cleaning path for super fast vacuuming when you need it the most. Plus, the WidePath cleans indoor air while you vacuum, thanks to an innovative allergen filtration system that traps 100 percent of dust mites, 99.98 percent of ragweed, and common grass pollens for cleaner breathing and fresher air. A powerful, 12 amp motor provides ample suction and doesn't leave anything behind. A brilliant headlight illuminates the cleaning path to ensure thorough vacuuming. Onboard tool storage keeps attachments, such as a dusting brush, furniture nozzle, crevice tool, and two extension wands in close reach. A smaller profile (approximately 33-1/4 by 18-1/2 by 9-1/2 inches) and lighter overall weight makes the Tempo WidePath easy to push, and easier to maneuver around and under furniture, too. And, your purchase is covered by a Hoover one-year warranty. Get a Tempo WidePath, and never get behind on the housework again! --Brian Olson

 Can't get better for this price October 14, 2008

I've gone through a lot of vacuums in my life ranging from $75-$250. This is definitely a great purchase. We have owned the vacuum for 5 months. I really do prefer bagless (mostly because I hate changing bags or running out of them) but that's about the only issue I can think of. It's light weight, suction is great, and most importantly, it does the job for a very reasonable price.
 good, but not as good as I had hoped October 14, 2008

I have had this vacuum for about a month. I really like it and everthing in the reviews I read are true. Although, the one reason I needed a vacuum is that the one I have spits dust back into the air and a musty, dirty oder blows through the vent into the room even though I change the bag and filter. I am noticing this vacuum has started to do that same thing. Unlike my old Vac, this one does have a cover when you want to use the hose so it does not blow particles back into the room (as long as you remember to close the flap after taking the hose out). But, sometimes, that smell fills the room when I vacuum. I change the bag at half full and that helps but it does use bags quickly that way. For a fairly inexpensive Vac, I would buy it again. The alternative is heavier vacuums and other problems that might be more frustrating and harder to deal with for the money. At this price, I can save up to buy two. One for my downstairs/basement and one for upstairs. Like many, I hate carrying those awkward vacuums floor to floor.
Great price, Great vacuum October 13, 2008

I hate all the new bagless vacuums, really! I have cats and none of the vacuums seem to work for long. I wanted an "old fashioned" upright vacuum with a bag. This had good reviews and a good price. Boy, does it having moving power. It practically vacuums on its own. You do have to be extra careful not to run over items that will be easily sucked into the vacuum! It has the power I wanted and actually picks up dirt. I can use it on floors and stairs. The bags aren't expensive and can be easily found at Target, Walmart or online. I use it a lot and it hasn't gotten clogged or lost sucking power as ALL my 4 other bagless vacuums have.
 So cheap you can buy one every year... October 13, 2008

To replace your broken vacuum! I bought this because of the consumer reports rating. It worked great, then it started failing to pick up pet hair and strings from my dogs' rope toys.
I took it apart to clean it as shown in the manual and I replaced the barely used bag and I was back in business.... For a day. I repeated the cleaning steps but my attempts of restoring its past greatness failed.
I'm on Amazon today looking for a new vacuum. This one lasted a little longer than a year.
There always has to be a catch October 12, 2008

Bought the item after reading reviews on Amazon. Our former vacuum (also a Hoover) was pretty old and noisy, so we really didn't notice this one being that much nosier. This vaccum works fine, lots of suction. But, the hose on it was not only too short, there was no wire reinforcements, so it easily collapses. This is obviously the area they scrimped on to be able to offer the unit at such a low price. Unfortunately, if you want the extended hose, which by the way has the wire inserts and is much higher quality, you have to buy from Hoover. It is around $40, almost half the price of the vacuum. Seems to me that they would have been better off including that better, longer hose on the original vacuum, even if it meant upping the price a bit to cover it. They would have had more happy customers. As it is, the hose experience left a bad taste and for the combined money spent, we probably could have purchased a superior product.
