Amazing Vac for Price / Report June 26, 2006
This vac does it all, on a small level and a larger level it has no problems. It goes around corners and gets the edges. Very versatile and easy to handle. Great Buy!
HARDWOOD FLOOR GREAT VACUUM / Report June 3, 2006
I just had new hardwood floors put in my entire apartment (Bellawood beech select) and did a google search for "vacuum that won't scratch hardwoood floors" and it brought me here. As usual, the reviews are VERY informative and this one got some great ones so I figured I'd try it. Great price. I've had it a month now and it is GREAT. Very powerful. Picks up everything. I use it for the little rugs (2' x 3') I have in my kitchen and it does a great job on those, too. Make sure you press the lever ALL THE WAY DOWN and hear the LOUDER noise to know that it's on "carpet" setting. Otherwise you're on hardwood floor setting. Very long cord. Easy to clean. Boy does it get filled with dirt and carpet detritus. I clean it out after each use. The manual is very good. Really explains the very important chore of cleaning the cup and filter. Has not scratched my floors. VERY PLEASED WITH THIS VACUUM.
hated this / Report May 24, 2006
First of all, this Hoover Flair is unweildy and not light weight. I used it only once and the front plastic cup mechanism that locks it into place did not work. The vacuum pulled yarns out of 2 4x6 area rugs. You cannot use this on a rug that has any kind of embroidery as it will tear it up even on the 'bare floor' setting. Hair, fur, yarns and such get caught up in the brush roller quickly and you have to manually remove them. On the 'floor' setting the vaccum did not pick up kitty litter, though the suction seems strong. The Hoover Flair is VERY VERY loud!! I am returning this vaccum immediately.
Very Powerful!!!! / Report May 12, 2006
I just moved into my new home and it has hardwood floors and tile floors with several area rugs. This vacuum is perfect! I can move from floor to rug with the switch of a button. The head swivels smoothly, and has a pretty low profile. I am amazed at the power of the suction! It easily pulls in dust bunnies before it even reaches them! I also use it to vacuum my stairs, and it isn't too cumbersome. Pretty light weight. Although it's still very new, I'm hoping that with proper care (cleaning after every use, and rinsing out the filter) that it will continue to be as reliable and powerful!
I love it! / Report May 10, 2006
After reading many of the great reviews of this product, I purchased one a few days ago. I love it that I can go right from hardwoods to rugs to carpet without skipping a beat. The cord is about the same length as the cord on my regular vacuum. It's very easy to get around and under furniture too. The vac is also lightweight, making vacuuming the stairs a pleasure!
The suction is also impressive. I vacuumed that first evening AFTER we had vacuumed with the regular vacuum, and after we had our carpets "dry-cleaned". I could not believe the amount of dog hair it picked up (we have a golden retriever)! The noise is definitely less than most vacuums. I have a ton of kitchen appliances that are louder than this.
The only reason I gave this product 4 stars was because of my experiences so far emptying the canister. There was so much dust, I felt like I really needed to be wearing a dust mask. I can see why others would empty theirs outside only. But hey, I'm also glad to see that it's picking up so much.
I can't say much about reliability since I just bought it. I did buy it at Sears and purchased the 2 year no-questions-asked warranty for $9, so I'm hoping to have it around for a long time. Cleaning floors is one of my least favorite activities ever, and the Hoover Flair changes that!
