Customer Reviews of The Hoover U5266-900 EmPower Vacuum
Customer Rating:   Summary: Horrible Product... Please don't purchase! Comment: Filter has to be seriously cleaned after EACH use. Dust canister stays dusty after use of product and overall looks very sloppy. Dust canister dropped out of my hand at a height of 1 foot and split 6 inches the 1st day - very low quality product. Packaging of product had been extremely abused upon delivery from original source - horrible delivery of product. Quiet mode isn't quiet - waste of product design. Would NEVER recommend this product! Please don't purchase, waste of money! Customer Rating: Summary: Love my new Hoover!!!!!!! Comment: I have always had a Hoover sweeper, but I wanted to get a second one for our second story in our new home. This Hoover EmPower was on sale at a local store and my husband picked it up today. We tried it out right away when he got home. Oh, how embarrassing to think I had that much dirt and dog hair in my carpets! We swept every room, the sweeper handles with ease.......and we emptied the dirt container and hepa filter numerous times. It was just amazing how much dirt we got from the carpets......and all the time we thought we were clean! I would recommend this sweeper to everyone.....it is fabulous! Customer Rating: Summary: HOOVER EMPOWER! Comment: The Hoover Empower is the best vacuum I have ever used! In one day i need to clean the drirt cup! Sometime 2 times a day! If you whant a good vacuum, get the Hoover Empower Customer Rating: Summary: Poor quality! Comment: There are so many ways this vacuum falls short. 1.) The hose is too short. They claim it extends but it's too rigid. You need to have the hose connected to the bottom of the vac in order to have suction on carpet but the hose pulls away from that regardles of how hard I shove it on. Very frustrating! Also, with the hose, the attachments don't stay on. I even do the twisting motion they recommend and they loosen and fall off. 2.) LOUD! This vacuum is incredibly loud. I bought this to replace a 7 year old Dirt Devil bag vacuum. The Hoover Empower is far louder and, while the "hush" button does make it quieter, you sacrifice power. 3.) Poor design on the bagless feature. Each and every time I empty (which is a horribly messy job and not at all convenient and easy) I inevitably drop the canister. The "lid" portion that you need to grasp with your fingers to pull out always comes unattached from the canister and leaves you holding the top and the dirty canister on the floor. I've tried countless ways and it's just awkward and hasn't worked right yet. 4.) Beater bar doesn't stop spinning. It is really irritating that, while the vaccum is on and in the locked upright position, the beater bar continues to spin. This has led to it eating my cord already. Not to mention the looped rugs that have suffered at my house. 5.) Wheels. The vacuum works well while it is running as it's lightly propelled but the wheels are stubborn and hard to push while just moving the vacuum while it is off. 6.) Plastic. The whole vacuum just feels very cheaply made. Despite all these annoyances, the vacuum does a good job picking things up - you'll just need to clean the canister and filter at least every 3 times you use it. I have a dog, a cat, and 2 kids so your mileage will vary. Customer Rating: Summary: Could be MUCH better. Comment: I was not impressed with all the switches that reduce the power of the vacuum. These "hush" switches make the vacuum more quiet because they are reducing the suction power! Any switch that makes the vacuum perform worse seems rediculous. Hush and power switches are just a gimmick. The wheels on this vacuum are very poor quality. Even on a hard floor the vacuum is very heavy and difficult to push. If the wheels were made with bearings the vacuum would push twice as easily. Instead Hoover used the cheapest plastic wheels that have no bearings. The two plastic surfaces just rub against each other. Vacuuming is difficult enough without having to push harder than you should have to. Want a fast backache? Push a Hoover upright for an hour. Poor design. Also, cleaning is a time consuming dirty job. I found that using a tooth brush to clean the hepa filter is much more effective than the manufacturer's directions to tap it on the side of a can. More Reviews 
Choosing Appliance -> Food Processor This is a big ticket item, but worth its weight in gold. It will save so much time when it comes to simple chopping or more advanced preparations like mayonnaise. As with most things, buy quality-- it will last longer, be capable of tougher jobs, and give you less problems. To make the food processor easiest to use, leave it on the counter top instead of storing it in a cabinet. Choosing Appliance -> Fridge / Freezers By law manufacturers must disclose the energy efficiency of their appliances, rated A to G. These are usually displayed prominently in showrooms. The better the rating, the more energy efficient the appliance is - good for both the environment and your pocket. The Hoover U5266-900 EmPower Vacuum
