What's great about it: Excellent vacuum for a great price
What's not so great: Cord could be longer
This is an excellent vacuum for under $100. I can think of no reason to spend much, much more for a vacuum that claims superior performance. I would match this vacuum against any vacuum selling for $400, $500 or more. The Hoover Tempo has excellent suction and cleans carpets very well. The tools store conveniently on the back of the unit so it is easy to quickly switch. My only compliant is that I wish the cord was longer. Regardless this is an excellent vacuum at a great price.

What's great about it: picks up pet hair
What's not so great: short power cord
I bought this one because it was recomended by consumer reports. I have had it for about a month now so far so good. we have dogs and the report said it works great on pet hair. the only complaint is I wish it had a longer power cord.

What's great about it: Suction strength
What's not so great: Hose for attachments
Watch your small pets this vacuum is self propelled and sucks up everything in its path. The only thing I don't care for is the accessory hose is a little short and quite rigid. The alternate you can purchase from the owner's manual works perfectly.

What's great about it: Powerul vacuum, fast delivery-even around Christmas.
Cleans up everthing in its path, including dry cat vomit with no visible stain left behind on carpet. Attachments easy to use & store on vacuum without coming loose. My parents have 20 year old version of this Hoover still works great, but it's much louder.

What's great about it: Powerful, lightweight, great price.
What's not so great: No headlight, short stiff hose.
I bought this vacuum for my 84 year old mother. Its light weight was a big bonus. It has extremely powerful suction and the beater bar brush is extra good at sweeping up most anything in its path. Mom doesn't have any pets so I don't know how it would fare against pet hair. The only shortcomings are the lack of a headlight and a somewhat short, stiff hose for attachments. Mom says no headlight is OK as she doesn't plan to vacuum in the dark. The hose and extensions will still reach to an 8 foot ceiling but higher ceilings may be more of a problem.

What's great about it: Price!
What's not so great: looks - if you're into that.
We bought this vacuum because we needed one right away and didn't want to pay a lot of money. The reviews were all great so we felt OK paying less than $90 for a vacuum. It works so well! We had new carpet installed 6 months ago that still shed and our old vacuum did nothing for, but this one really cleaned everything the first time. It's a little self-propelled which is nice, it's not too heavy, and has worked well on different surfaces for us. Not the prettiest vacuum out there, but really great quality for the money.

What's great about it: Price is excellent
What's not so great: Hose could be a little longer.
I have honestly only used this vacuum twice and it has been great!
My old vacuum was so terrible, this vacuum with one use filled the bag!
Dog hair, dust and whatnot. Great on my wood floors, stairs and carpet!
Plus the price point is excellent. So far the reviews on this have been
Exactly as stated. It's great. Although it would be nice if the hose was a little longer.

What's great about it: Excellent suction for picking up hair.
What's not so great: Sprays materials on tile and wood floors.
This vacuume I originally bought because I was replacing a Hoover. My older Hoover had excellent suction but this vacuume leaves the old one in the dust. This vacumme picked up so much dog hair I needed to replace the bag because it was overflowing and backing up in the hose. Even with the back up into the hose, this machine did not lose suction power. I am impressed because I am not an avid vacummer. Sometimes only vacumming once a month.
If you are a pet owner with carpet (DOES NOTwork well on tile and wood floors), this is a good vacumme for under $100. 3 pack of bags is $10.

What's great about it: Suction is superb! Easy to use. Price is UNbeatable for what you get!
What's not so great: Hose is far too short yet attachments do help w/that.
Had a different brand that was simply awful. I read the reviews on this and decided to go for it (even though I had originally purchased the bagged pet hair Windtunnel for $50 or so more. But the Pet Hair Windtunnel was back-ordered and after a lengthy wait to receive that I decided enough was enough and returned the purchase receipt and instead bought this for, as I said, approx. $50 less. Well, the reviews were right. This is one heck of a DANDY vacuum and for the price - you simply CANNOT beat it! The hoses ARE indeed short so be prepared for the vacuum to tumble over but at least it has a few attachments to lengthen the hose which helps. The cord is long however and that helps. Great suction, EASY set up, but don't make the STUPID mistake I did though and forget to connect the hose before you plug it in to use it or you will have hair and debris EVERYWHERE. (Stop laughing)
I believe you will be very happy with this vacuum. There's nothing like a Hoover!

What's great about it: Powerful, easy to operate
What's not so great: Bag cover is a little flimsy
After several years and several different models of bag-less canister uprights, we've gone back to the tried and true. This vacuum does exactly what it should: removes dust and pet hair and lets me dispose of it in a tidy manner. No more billowing clouds of dust rising from the trash while emptying a canister; no more dirt-caked filters to clean; no more wiping down the vacuum to clean up all the dust from emptying the canister.
The bags are large, easy to remove and easy to replace. The model I purchased did not have the headlight nor bag change indicator, as pictured online (the display model at the store wasn't the stripped down version I bought either), but I doubt I'll miss those features. I wish the hard plastic panel that covers the bag was a little sturdier or even hinged (it's a tab and slot design), but it still looks like it will hold up as long as it's not roughly treated. The on-board tools are good, but as another reviewer noted, the hose is a bit short. But it's lightweight, easy to maneuver (convenient handles make it easy to tote upstairs) and boy, does it have suction power! Highly recommend this one.

What's great about it: It's a Hoover and it sucks like no other.
What's not so great: Advertising a older model
Buyer beware as the model delivered is not the one advertised, as the one I got does not have the headlight or the full bag indicator which is not a deal breaker considering it was on sale for 71 bucks.
BTW I got this one in addition to a 3yo Tempo that still sucks/works like new, having only had to replace one belt due to my child sucking up a sock and jamming the brush.
Bang for the buck there is not a vacuum that can match this Tempo for being able to pick up dirt and animal hair and we have two dogs, two cats and a neighborhood of kids in and out.

What's great about it: Works great and is priced right
What's not so great: Attachment hose could be longer
This vac works great overall, and is a great value.
Does everything a vac should do. Only minor complaint is that the attachment hose is kind of short, which causes the whole vacuum to tip over if you are not careful while using the attachments. I just get around that by tipping it over before starting with the hose.

What's not so great: short hose but can get 20ft hose from hoover for decent price
i had a canister style and a bagless and i like this one the best. for starters,i got tired of dragging canister around and cleaning the cloth filter/bag-thing. the bagless was alright but kept getting mold/mildew in filters and in the dust cup after washing them no matter how long i sat it out to dry. then you gotta WAIT for it to dry. the first time i didnt notice it and turned the vacuum on and the smell was HORRID. i couldnt get the smell out of my house for a WHILE. i think it's more of an inconvience to keep cleaning the dust cup out than to simply pop in a new bag. no need to wait for anything to dry! the suction on those 2 were decent. but this Tempo is what's happening now! great suction. easy to use. lightweight. freshened up the appearance of my carpet nicely. works on floor good. etc, etc, etc!!!! Glad i went back to ol' school vacuum!! and still get the HEPA micro-allergen benefits of these new vacuums thanks to new bag technology. i should've been switched back. who cares about windtunnels and cyclones,right?!!!?!?!!!!! LOL!
