Customer Reviews of Hoover U5253-900 Breathe Easy Upright Vacuum Cleaner
Customer Rating:   Summary: Outstanding for the price. Comment: Hoover has hit the mark for the average consumer. This vacuum has the main features you want for a good price. One of my requirements was a bare floor setting because I had carpeting and hardwood floors both. This unit had a wide range of cleaning settings. The weight was very reasonable and the washable alergenic filter was what I was looking for, not Heppa filters as the cost for those is too high. Great unit for the price! Dave Gacke Customer Rating: Summary: A Best Buy Comment: I bought the vacuum cleaner last night and assembled it this morning. The instructions were easy to follow (trilingual!)and the unit fitted together easily. It ran the first time time I started it. It is very powerful, much more so than the upright AND canister cleaners it replaced. I like the combination of upright with the flexible hose because less storage space is required. The cleaner performs well to the side, a feature I've not had before. The ON OFF switch seems backward, having to push it down to turn the cleaner off. The unit didn't come with an Allergen Filtration bag and should have. A coupon to buy a package of those bags for a dollar less was included with the documentation. I don't suppose there's a way to have an automatic rewind of the power cord.The unit was purchased at Best Buy as a clearance (not "open box")item. Customer Rating: Summary: Buyer Beware! Comment: You know the saying "You get what you pay for"? Well its true, especially when it comes to this vacuum. It actually wasn't too bad the first couple weeks that I had it. I have short carpeting and it worked rather well on that. However, the bare floor setting is a joke on bare floors- it just sends the dirt flying everywhere. Also, the settings for the accessories (like the extension hose, duster, etc.) is as powerful as a dustbuster. It's next to impossible to maneuver under a coffee table, and if you leave it standing in one place too long you start smelling something, like carpet burning. The worst part is is that 3 months into owning this, I turned it on and it started making a loud cracking noise- I tried to see what was wrong and flicked the switch a couple of times, and black smoke started coming out of it! That was the last time I tried to use it, and I'll never buy a Hoover again! Do not buy this vacuum- you'll end up like me, looking for another one 3 months later. Pay a little more and get something that will last. More Reviews With a washable allergen filter installed on the front for easy access, this 875-watt, lightweight (17-pound) plastic vacuum cleans a 15-inch swath illuminated by a headlight while providing extra protection against dust mites and pollen. A slide on the base adjusts the brush roll for various carpet heights and also offers a bare-floor setting. The handle lowers to horizontal for under-furniture cleaning (7-inch clearance), and stiff-bristle edge groomers dig out dirt along baseboards, while the soft base protects furniture. To eliminate exasperation, the onboard-tools hose stretches rather than tangles. It comes with an extension wand to fit an upholstery nozzle, dusting brush, and crevice tool--all store in a chamber above the bag compartment. Changing filter bags is remarkably simple, but to replace the belt and brush roll, a bottom plate must be removed with a screwdriver. The vacuum is 43 inches high and assembles with a single nut and bolt (which are included). --Fred Brack 
Choosing Appliance -> Stainless steel bowls These are the best all purpose bowls for a multitude of applications. Choose a wide range of sizes (be sure to get a large bowl for whipping egg whites and whipped cream). In general, the heavier the bowl, the higher quality. Choosing Appliance -> Servicing Your Appliance Buying this "service deal" can be expensive but if you feel happier knowing that you are protected from breakdown for a few years, shop around insurance brokers to see how prices compare.
