I love this vacuum, it works great! Works great for pet hair. I tried Shark, Dyson, Bissell, Dirt Devil and a few others all claiming to be designed specifically for pet hair...they were all a big disappointment. I had actually almost given up on finding a vacuum to really work on pet hair but decided to try this last one, am I glad I did! I have an aussie and she likes to shed in the summertime, and I really hate pet hair so it was a constant battle to keep the house clean of pet hair. But no more. I am very happy! Give it a try I'm sure you will not be disappointed. I also love the attachments for stairs and the retractable cord.

I had purchased this vacuum 2 years ago and another as a gift soon afterwards. Unfortunately I didn't notice how poorly it picked up hair/dust off of bare floors. The exhaust just blows debris away from it. You can see it fly away! Very poorly designed and I was surprised that engineers allowed this. I tried with the roller on and off, doesn't matter and both vacuums do this. However, the long hose is great, it's light, and cleans carpets extremely well.

Wanted a lightweight vacuum that would work on hardwood, tile and carpet and this seems to fill my expectations.

This is my first upright vacuum cleaner, I have had a "Filter Queen" for 17 years. So far I really like the Hoover I just bought. It really sucks up the dirt/pet hair, etc. I have read lots of the reviews and the ones that say the vacuum only lasted a month are really bogus as I bet they didn't clean the red filter at all. After using my vacuum only 2 times I took time to take apart the filter and cleaned it. It says you don't have to do it but I had so much fine dirt in the canister I felt it warranted doing so. It doesn't weigh a ton so its easy to maneuver, easy on the wrists as I have some arthritis and that can be painful twisting your wrists to vacuum, but I didn't have any problems. Haven't used the hose attachment yet, but do like the fact it is 12 feet long...

We've had ours for over 2 years now and LOVE it! We have 2 dogs and 4 cats, so we have def put it through the ringer. We normally go thru vacuums like babies go thru diapers. We bought it after our Dyson Animal died after 4 months. The Dyson didn't pick up animal hair well from the get-go, but the motor died anyway, so we brought it back. Opted for the less expensive Hoover and haven't looked back. Owners, let me give you some advice for this and ANY piece of equipment. If the instructions call for periodic maintenance, DO IT. They don't put it there cause they had excess paper laying around. This model is really easy to maintain and take apart. If you have animals, you will note white/whitish build-up, this is skin flakes and will eventually clog the wind tunnel. Take it apart from time to time and clean it, I take it our side and use a garden hose. It would have gotten 5 stars but I don't like the HEPA filter. It works like its supposed to, but to replace it, you replace the whole tray, as its glued in. Seems a waste when gaskets could have been used to sandwich it and make it seal.

Bought two of these .. one for myself and one for my mom. Both vacuums clog continually. I start to vacuum and they shut off. Then I clean the filter, take apart to clear clogs. Have to wait a day b4 can ontinue to vac because won't come back on. This started right after purchase. Frustrating, tiring, and disappointing that Hoover products are made so cheaply now. My dad was in the applicance repair business and always said Hoover was the best. I've noticed with my last three Hoover purchases that they just keep getting cheaper and cheaper. I would pay a higer price if you would make a vacuum that works! This is too much work and too hard for a woman to constantly deal with. I don't have the strength to take these vacuums apart every time I use them. Very disappointed! I now have 5 Hoovers purchased in the last four years in my home and none of them work!

One dog and 2 cats = a lot of hair, for me anyway! Have a Hoover wind tunnel, but it is not keeping up anymore. My husband read reviews for an hour on this P.A..W.S Hoover and there were far more good reviews than bad. So he bought it for me and I must say I am here to add to the good reviews! HOLY suction... I, like many, had vacuumed the day before receiving the new vacuum and I can not believe the stuff that this new vacuum picked up, yuk! I swear it was pulling dirt up through the floor from downstairs, lol It also made my carpets look like I cleaned them with my Bissell carpet cleaner! I, like others, decided to keep the extra furniture accessories in the closet instead of attaching them to the vacuum. I love the fact I don't have to wind the cord anymore, just one touch of a button and it winds itself. You wont be disappointed!!

The bagless feature is very poorly designed. The cannister is so limited by the filter, pet hair and carpet fibers simply aren't heavy enough to drop past it, so you have to unscrew the cannister every time it needs to be emptied. And it needs to be emptied frequently because it there's so little room in it. The cord in at the bottom, so you have to hold on to it the whole time to avoid running over it. The extensions are a joke. They're extremely short. And the suction hose is so tight, it's a constant struggle to vacuum small stairs, or God forbid, try to vacuum cobwebs. And I'm a strong person. I can only imagine the struggles an elderly person might have with it. The on/off button is hidden in the handle which makes it difficult for anyone with fingernails to turn it on and off. I SO wish I gone with the Dyson.
