Comment:
I have to agree with the other negative reviewers here. I have had good luck with Hoover products in the past but they really missed the boat on this one. <br /><br />First, the hand tools never worked. There was not enough suction to even turn the impeller on the pet hair remover.<br /><br />Second, after owning for about a year, mine started doing this random shutting off that everyone else described. I assume it is overheating. I'll vaccuum for a few minutes, it will shut off and won't turn back on until it cools down completely. <br /><br />In short, this is a bad product.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
I only vacuumed one room before this vacuum broke. The plastic that attaches the wheel cracked & broke and the roller brush kept falling out. I was really disappointed because it did a good job of picking up dog hair but broke too easy.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
