What's great about it: Light weight
I needed a vaccum so that my kids can also use it, so I needed really light weight. This one is cool, very light, easy to operate, excellent results in cleaning, look is very modern, hose vaccum is separate. Both units work great. The 2nd unit, saves time when you are cleaning stairs. You do not get tired as it is light. The wire is long , so you can go every where. I do not know why this was not displayed in show room, I had to oder it. I had read good reviews, so far after 2 months, I still feel much better, meeting the expectations.

What's great about it: Lightweight/Powerful
What's not so great: Doesn't come w/ a clone to vacuum for me.
Let me just say this... I'm glad I took the time to review vacuums online. My wife and I needed a new vacuum... we previously had 2 Bissell's and they were GARBAGE - so we wanted to make the right purchase this time.
We saw that Garry vacuum online and almost bought it until I read the consumer reviews on it. We were shopping at Best Buy and this thing and it really got our attention and meets all of our needs. It's lightweight and performs incredibly. What's nice is my wife and I can each vacuum and get the job done in record time instead of having to stop to get all the attachments configured.

What's great about it: Suction power, self-propelled, self-sealing bags
What's not so great: No on-board attachments
I read all the reviews and was hesitant to purchase such an expensive vacuum cleaner but one of the things I needed was something that was good at picking up dog hair on both carpeted and hardwood floors. I decided to try this since it got no bad reviews and WOW! I have never ever had a vacuum cleaner that had such suction and power. I was so amazed at how easily it moved due to the "self-propelled" mechanism.
The only improvement would be to have some attachments on board so when you are vacuuming a room you could quickly do corners, etc., but then it probably would take away from the suction power! The little vacuum is very convenient for little jobs and it will work for when I need the attachments.
One thing that I never saw in any of the reviews I read is that the vacuum cleaner bags are self-sealing. That means that when you remove them from the vacuum cleaner, they automatically seal so no dust or particles escape into the air. I always hated that when I had to re-vacuum after removing a bag. The bags are very thick and high quality so it's no wonder they are expensive.
If you are debating about this one and you're on the edge, just take the plunge. You won't be disappointed!

I have two Siberian Huskies so I needed a vacuum capable of picking up a ton of dog hair. So far this vacuum has exceeded my expectations. It has a tremendous amount of power and is very light and easy to use. Works great on wood, tile, and carpet. The only downside is the lack of attachments to the vacuum. It comes with a smaller separate vacuum pack but it is a pain to have to switch them out just to get under the furniture.

What's great about it: Sucks up everything, quickly and easily!
What's not so great: Bag prices, "Full Light" goes on often, and canister fills up quickly.
I previously bought a Bissel Pet vacuum, and it was horrid. I originally wanted this, but it cost more. After I returned the Bissel, I bought this one, and absolutely love it! I have Siberian Huskies, and they shed like crazy, but this vacuum picks up all the hair on the first swipe! It works fantastic. But it does use bags, and those can be a bit pricey, so shop around for them. Also, the "Bag Full" light goes on quite often, even if the bag is nowhere near full, but I just shake the bag a bit, and the light goes off. And since there is no attachment pieces, you have this little canister, which works well but the little bag fills up quickly, so it looses suction, but just empty it/put in a new bag. But even with those little things, this vacuum is FANTASTIC! Simply because it picks up everything so easily.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Self propelled, lightweight.
What's not so great: The bags are a little pricey !
I love my Hoover Plantinum Lightweight Vacuum. I am not kidding when I say - " I can't wait to vacuum"!. It is so easy to make my carpet look great. The vacuum is self propelled, and as long as I am moving forward - "it is literally vacuuming itself".
I can really tell how worthless my old vacuum was. When I vacuum, the suction is so strong, I can feel the carpet lifting away from the pad. When I am finished, you can see the carpet pile stands up!
And on a Hot sumer day, I can leave the drapes closed - the light on my vacuum is bright enough to see where to vacuum.
"What took me so long to replace my old vacuum ?"

What's great about it: performance
What's not so great: small cannister suction not the best
I have had this vacuum since September 2009, and have been very happy with its performance. I have two large dogs, and the vacuum does an excellent job in picking up dog hair. The replacement bags are pricey, but they are a good size, so you don't have to replace them as frequently as other vacuum cleaners.
The small cannister vacuum is really convenient for use on furniture and stairs, but the suction isn't that great.
Overall, this is the best performing vacuum I have owned.

What's great about it: Upright has great suction and is easy to move around.
What's not so great: The attachment vacuum is not as good after use as it was to begin with.
The vacuum cleaner itself seems to be amazing. It got dog hair right up off my oriental rug that I couldn't seem to get clean with my previous vacuum cleaner. The little hand held vacuum cleaner worked great to begin, with but the suction has diminished when I put in a new bag.

What's great about it: HEPA, lightweight, separate smaller vaccum for stairs
What's not so great: replacement bags are a little pricey
I love the fact that there is a separate handheld that you can
use for stairs, furniture, etc. The upright is pretty quiet as vacuums
go. It's also pretty light.
It's great that it's HEPA also. Even the bags are excellent. You can
close off the bag so that the dust doesn't get out when you remove the
bag. Obviously this is great for people with allergies.
Overall is very well built and does the job. We'll see how it does
in the long run.

What's great about it: Power, filtering, canister power, cleans great!
I have used Dyson, Orek, as well as vacuums from Sears. My last Sears vacuum died, so after a friend told me about this one, and recomended it, I decided to give it a shot. This is the BEST vacuum I have ever used. The separate canister has more than enough power, as does the upright. My Wife has bad alergies, and the vacuums we have used in the past have bothered her, despite their HEPA claims. This one doesnt trigger her alergies. The upright does a better job cleaning the carpet than any Orek or Dyson I have used.

What's great about it: does great job cleaning, lightweight, easy to use.
What's not so great: a little loud, could be quieter. wish there was a power brush attachment for furniture
I bought this after having tried a dyson and not liking it. I have owned orecks for years and really like the lightweight vacuum. I think I actually like this hoover better than the orecks I have had. It cleans the carpet as well as the dyson and does a better job on the bare floors. It is lightweight and extremely easy to push around. It doesn't spew dust like the oreck did and the bag seals when you remove it so dust doesn't come flying out. Has a very long cord so you don't have to keep unplugging it. The handheld vacuum seems to work well, has good suction. It is lightweight and easy to carry around. I wish there was a power brush attachment for furniture. Overall, this is a really nice vacuum cleaner for the price.

What's great about it: very light, easy to use and handle, looks good, works great
What's not so great: could be cheaper, no ajustment on ride height for standup vac, no rotating brush for stair vac, short power cords
opened it today and the reason for purchase was 1 it comes with two vacums one specifically needed for stairs and 2 the other for my wife so she doesnt have to dragg our number one vaccum 'the boss' made by eurika with smartvac up and down everytime she needs to vacum. i only used it for a dry run today she and i love how light it is and it has a ton of power and leaves great lines in our new carpet, the hand held and shoulder strap for the other works great for stairs, also very light and easy for my wife, only one setting for air speed for the hand held, the standup has two air speed settings which i beleive the lower one irs for tile or wood so it doesnt blow dirt away,the stand up is great for stairs also it only ways a few pounds and has extra handles so u can hold it side ways and use it o stairs,and its a good lookin vac
negetives as for now neither vacum has auto roll up for cords and the cords are short 15 feet to ill probly have to buy an extension cord so she doesnt have to keep oveing the plug, the stair vac doesnt have a rotating brush like a normal vac but it works, i can see using this vac in a car and getting corners easier put it over shoulder and go to town
overall it was a house warming gift but it was purchased for 332 and with a 10 percent discount the standup performs just as good as our boos vac only draw bak it doesnt have ajustments for heght of vac for the different carpet if u have diff carpet it might not work for u need the adjustment but overall im happy with it its perfect for what we are asking out of it and we took car3e of 2 birds with one stone

What's great about it: Great performance, quality made
What's not so great: Nothing
After considering several reputable brands, I decided to go with Hoover. I couldn't be happier with this vacuum and the accompanying portable canister unit. The upright is a real workhorse. It sweeps both carpet and hardwood floors beautifully. The unit is light and maneuvers with ease. You can tell the moment you unpack these items that they are very high quality. The extra-long cord allows you to cover a number of areas in your home without unplugging and plugging into another socket. The canister vacuum is fantastic as well. It has surprising power and the attachments are handy for various cleaning jobs. The shoulder strap is a great feature too. You can't go wrong with this vacuum and portable canister.

What's great about it: It cleans great AND is lightweight.
What's not so great: The only drawback is buying BOTH. No option to buy separately.
I have always had Hoover products and very satisfied with them. Last year I tried a couple of other brands. I took them back and stuck with my Hoover. Recently, my Mother did the same thing. She & I both need the lightweight. I let her try mine and she agreed that it was the best for her. I purchased this one for her. We both spent a lot of time searching and returning. I suggest saving your time searching and purchase this one. The time you save, you can use cleaning!
