Review of the Hoover Elite Rewind Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner

I had hated my vacuum cleaner since the day I got it as a wedding gift almost 6 years ago. It never picked up any dog hair, and in fact, picked up very little of anything else. It weighed a ton. It sounded like a freight train. It even smelled weird when it was on. I wanted a new one. After weeks of contemplation and research I settled on what seemed like an unlikely choice: The Hoover Elite Rewind Bagless Upright.

I say this was an unlikely choice because it was over $100 less than what my price range included. I ordered it from Amazon with free shipping and my total before tax was just $86.00. It seemed that an $86.00 vacuum cleaner might be too good to be true. After using my new machine for a few days, however, I must say I am extremely happy with my choice.

The 12 amps of power are evident in this vacuum cleaner's suction capabilities. It pulled up tons of dog hair from my carpet and rugs - even hair that I couldn't see with my eyes. After just a quick sweep of my living room rug, I could see a huge amount of dust and hair in the bagless canister. I had just cleaned that area with my old vacuum a few days ago. After vacuuming my upstairs carpet, there were carpet remnants seen in the canister. The carpet was installed 3 years ago, however this machine picked up loose pieces.

I had been torn between whether or not to choose a bagless option for my new vacuum cleaner. I am very happy with the Hoover Elite Rewind Bagless for this reason. There is an automatic release for the canister to empty it, so you don't end up all dusty after each cleaning. The vacuum cleaner also features a lifetime HEPA filter that simply has to be brushed clean every now and then. If I was getting a bagless sweeper so that I didn't have to purchase bags, I certainly didn't want to have to purchase filters. So this is another perk from my perspective.
