With a custom power boost function for serious matting and soiling, Hoover offers their EmPower bagless vacuum for household cleaning needs. The upright 12-amp vacuum offers two power settings and five height levels to accommodate a wide variety of floor and carpet types, while eradicating both deeply embedded debris and light layers of dust. With a long-lasting HEPA cartridge filter, the vacuum also improves an environment's air quality, stripping away dust mites, ragweed, and most grass pollen. In removing and containing these allergens, the newly vacuumed room provides relief for sufferers of seasonal allergies like hay fever and helps minimize the discomfort for individuals with cat or dog allergies. To ensure a clean carpet, the 15-inch wide vacuum head features a helpful headlight to illuminate soiled patches. The agitation from the vacuum's brush roll uproots dirt from even the plushest carpet, with the option of the push button power boost for heavy-duty cleaning. To accommodate households with sleeping babies, children at study, or other volume sensitive inhabitants, the EmPower model is endowed with a Hush mode, operating on lower power for quieter maintenance. Debris travels through a Teflon-coated HEPA cartridge filter into a sealed dual-chamber dust cup. The chambers are transparent to allow easy monitoring of the dust cup's fullness. The dust cup detaches from the vacuum body for easy emptying. Vacuum tools and accessories include a powered hand tool for pet hair and stair step cleaning, extension wand, upholstery nozzle, crevice wand, and an extra-reach hose. The vacuum handle folds down for compact storage. The power cord on this vacuum spans 31 feet in distance. For the best results, the HEPA filter should be replaced every three years and should never be washed. Hoover offers a one-year warranty for this item. The pre-assembled vacuum weighs 21 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

Outstanding value November 16, 2008
C. Maloney (Dallas, TX)
This is the 2nd EmPower bagless upright that I've purchased. It has terrific suction especially in a home with mulitple pets. It is lightweight and dependable. The only improvements that I would make relate to the attachment. The hose pops off the main part of the vacuum to attach a couple of different heads onto it. The negative is the hose doesn't attach securely to the vacuum itself, so it will pop off when I am vacuuming regularly. The attachement holders are on the side and if you get too close to a wall they will break right off. That's an operator error...but speaks to the flimsy nature of the holder. Now all this said it is a great vacuum cleaner for the money...they do a better job at regular vacuuming than the more expensive Hoover models.
 Empowered yes, begrimed certainly! November 5, 2008

It vacuums thoroughly, the attachments are handy and the cord is long so those are the pluses. There's just one minus but it's kinda huge. It's a nightmare to empty! Fine dirt and dust goes EVERYwhere, whacking the filter creates a choking cloud. Anything you're wearing just throw in the wash cuz it's covered in a brownish-gray dusting of dirt. I empty it outside, more's the pity cuz you'd be better off doing this naked and showering afterwards.

Overall this vaccuum is a good buy. It is rather light weight and the tools/settings are easy to use. I hesitate to give it 5 stars because the suction was not as good as I hoped. However, I believe its a good investment for the money and I would but it again.
 Crappy Vacuum October 17, 2008

When I first saw the commercials for this vacuum, I knew I must have it. Especially with a baby. When I finally got it I was disappointed with the "Hush" button. There was almost no difference in sound. And I definitely couldn't vacuum right next to a sleeping baby like the commercials show. Oh well, I thought, it's still a Hoover. Over the year or so that I've had it, I've become increasingly annoyed with it. The onboard attachments are fairly crummy, half the time the brushes don't spin when you use the upholstery attachment, you have to unwind the cord completely to get to the hose. Then there's the cleaning. I have to clean the tank outside because the dust is SO bad. The little thing in the middle you have to take out to get to the filter makes you get your hands dirty and fingernails since stuff sticks to the screen. Then there's the actual filter. It costs almost $30 and you have to replace it about once a month. I don't even have pets, but it gets dirty really fast and then looses suction. I tried washing it to prolong life and it really hasn't. There is nothing worse than vacuuming and then having it look like you've done nothing. I hate this vacuum. I'm going to get a Dyson and put this one out on the curb with a FREE sign on it.
 Amazing product September 4, 2008

I bought this as a replacement for a 6-year old Dirt Devil that just wasn't doing the job anymore. This is light, powerful, and made a visible difference to my carpeting - layers of dog hair came out effortlessly - and we have a yellow lab that always seems to be shedding. It is substantially quieter than my previous vacuum and is light enough to use fairly easily on stairs. The upholstery cleaning attachment is great.
