Sturdy as a belt sander, the Sidewinder Hand Vac is an all-purpose household tool with a cleverly helpful feature--a nozzle that swivels 90 degrees to provide more flexibility in vacuuming hard-to-reach spots. This is helpful in vacuuming out tricky spaces, such as between moldings and doorjambs, or the concavities of recessed windows. The Sidewinder also has a powered brush roll, especially useful on rugs or fabrics.
The Sidewinder has a 20-foot power cord, a workable length for most any household room. The body of the hand vacuum is made of sturdy glitter-gold plastic, and the transparent collector receptacle end is a darker, smoky-gray in color. Its removable filter is made of a long-life, washable plastic weave. The ergonomically molded handle is designed so that the on/off button is in a comfortable position to be used with one hand.
Cleaning the Sidewinder Hand Vac is very easy. The collector cup detaches for easy emptying, and the filter is removable and can be washed in warm, soapy water. (The filter should be entirely dry before being replaced in the vacuum cleaner.) The motor/handle section is not immersible, and it is not advisable to put any of the components in the dishwasher. The Sidewinder measures 13 by 6 by 8-1/4 inches. Hoover products include a one-year warranty against defects and come with a detailed instruction booklet. --Garland Withers

Hoover Sidewinder Hand help vac:
Great product. This was a replacement for a similar Hoover hand held purchased many years ago. I expect this replacement to work for as long or perhaps even longer than the previous hand held. We now have three Hoover upright vacuums (one on each floor or our home) and now we are complete with another great Hoover product. John McElwee

Great Hoover Products:
I have had a Hoover hand vac for many years. It is great for cleaning carpeted stairs and removing pet hair from furniture. My old hand vac finally quit and I ordered a new Hoover hand vac. It works just fine. It is amazing the amount of dust and hair this little appliance will collect.
The little vac that could.:
This little hand vac (about 3 lb.) has good power, good brush action and a lot of suction for a light weight hand held vac. The cloth bag filter is easy to vacuum off with our upright's hose. We have a 100 lb. Akita and the hair can accumulate on the stairs. Although we may have to stop 2 or 3 times throughout the stairs to clean the bag,it is not unreasonable. It replaced an older Hoover hand held, that had less suction than this one. The other brands that we looked at were much heavier.
A review:
It is everything I wanted in a hand held vaccum to use on stairs and in the car.
