Customer Reviews of Hoover Savvy U8181-900 Bagged/Bagless Combo Upright Vacuum
Customer Rating:   Summary: Piece of Junk! Comment: The Hoover vacuums including this one are not meant to last more than 2 years. We owned this vacuum for about 6-7 months then the main belt broke. The belt is extremely hard to find and cost about $16. All of the parts on this vacuum are made of plastic and certain parts have cracked. It was nice being able to switch from carpet to hardwood effortlessly, but the vacuum is also very noisy. My sincere recommendation is buy a Miele ($400). We did and are extremely happy with it. It has a 7-yr warrantly unlike the 1-yr with Hoover. INVEST in a vacuum that is going to last you a while. Customer Rating: Summary: okay for normal traffic, bad for pet hair Comment: after taking back not one but two dyson animal vacs about two years ago, I bought the hoover savvy. It worked fantastically...at first. The stair tool was awesome...until I nicked it on the corner of the steps and it stopped working. I used this vacuum about 3 times a week to keep up with the hair from my two border collies and it would pick up the hair and all of the dirt leaving my carpet pretty and fresh. Until the day it got a clog in the hose. Cleaned that out with a jerry rigged contraption. Then the belt blew. Then the power switch became tricky and you had to get it in the right place for it to work. Finally it just went kaput even though I religiously changed the filters and had only had it for two years. My mom has one that she bought around the same time and it is still working fine. She does not have excessive pet or person hair, just normal day to day dirt. It is working great for her. This vac is light and powerful but doesn't cut it if you have a lot of hair to pick up on a regular basis. Customer Rating: Summary: Would not recommend it. Comment: I would not recommend this vacume cleaner. It is junk. I tried to remove the bottom casing to clean the brushes and remove strings that tangel around the brushes. The screwes were so screwed so tight, that when I tried to remove them the plastic broke. Now I have to keep the casing on with rubber bands. I only had the vacume cleaner 1 month. It does pick up dirt on hard floors and the hepa filter is a mess. My mother has had her Hoover for 25 years. But I guess they just don't make them like they use to. I will never by a Hoover again. Customer Rating: Summary: waste of money Comment: I purchased the Hoover Savvy 18 months ago and it is going out for the trash this week. I had a Hoover Windtunnel that I loved, along with their floormate, carpet cleaner and stick vac. I had been a loyal Hoover customer until the Savvy's switch became loose and it no longer worked. Also, it was difficult to pull out the canister for bagless use and collected a lot of lint in the brush that required a pipe cleaner to fish out all of the trapped dirt. Do not waste your money on this product. Hoover let me down. I can't wait for my Dyson to arrive this week! Customer Rating: Summary: Hoover Savvy Switch will break Comment: What a disappointment. Our Hoover switch also went, of course not until the 12 month warrenty expired. Can't get parts for just the switch but it looks like you can replace the whole handle if you want to try to repair it. I wonder what will break next and when. . . :( More Reviews Hoover, Savvy Bagless Upright Vac, Hepa Bagged Or Bagless System, Sure Pass Cleaning System, Embedded Dirt Finder, Pet Hair Cleaning Tool, Headlight, Deluxe Attachment Set. 
Choosing Appliance -> Shopping Dryer When shopping for a new clothes dryer, look for one with a moisture sensor that automatically shuts off the machine when your clothes are dry. Not only will this save energy, it will save wear and tear on your clothes caused by over-drying. Keep in mind that gas dryers are less expensive to operate than electric dryers. The cost of drying a typical load of laundry in an electric dryer is 30 to 40 cents compared to 15 to 25 cents in a gas dryer. Choosing Appliance -> Non-stick Pans We recommend having at least 1 high quality non-stick saute pan. It makes cooking eggs and delicate items like fish a breeze. It also cuts down on the amount of fat necessary to effectively saute. The best place to buy such pans is from a restaurant supplier. Hoover Savvy U8181-900 Bagged/Bagless Combo Upright Vacuum
Useful info -> Is stainless steel really stainless? Choose a good quality sink to avoid problems later. Buy cheap and you will discover that stainless steel can stain and even rust! Mild acids such as vinegar will promote rust in stainless steel where the nickel content is low. Stronger acids such as those used by photo processors will have a detrimental effect on all stainless steels. |
