Editorial Review:
Hoover(R) Turbo EmPower(R) Upright. Allergen Filtration. Folding Handle. No Assembly Required. Hush(R) Mode. Powered Hand Tool Included. Power Boost. Tools Included. 12 Amp Motor. Five Height Settings.
Time-efficient and thorough, this EmPower bagless vacuum from Hoover uses turbo power to clean rugs, carpeting, hardwood floors, upholstery, and more. The upright 12-amp vacuum offers two power settings and five height levels to accommodate a wide variety of floor and carpet types, removing both deeply embedded dirt and light dust. custom power boost function for serious matting and soiling. With a long-lasting HEPA cartridge filter, the vacuum also improves an environment's air quality, stripping away dust mites, ragweed, and most grass pollen. In removing and containing these allergens, the newly vacuumed room provides relief for sufferers of seasonal allergies like hay fever and helps minimize the discomfort for individuals with cat or dog allergies.
To ensure a clean carpet, the 15-inch wide vacuum head features a helpful headlight to illuminate soiled patches. The agitation from the vacuum's brush roll uproots dirt from even the plushest carpet. For heavily soiled or matted patches, engage the push-button power boost function to strengthen the vacuum's suction and agitation. Avoid disturbing sleeping babies, children at study, or crabby adults or pets by operating the cleaning appliance in Hush mode, which runs on lower power for quieter housekeeping. Debris travels through a Teflon-coated HEPA cartridge filter into a sealed dual-chamber dust cup. The chambers are transparent to allow easy monitoring of the dust cup's fullness. The dust cup detaches from the vacuum body for easy emptying. This EmPower model includes a bonus, extra-reach hose for the hard-to-reach spaces under beds or high ceiling dusting. Additional tools and accessories include a powered hand tool for pet hair and stairs, extension wand, dusting brush, upholstery nozzle, and a crevice tool and wand. The vacuum handle folds down for compact storage. The power cord on this vacuum spans 31 feet in distance. For the best results, the HEPA filter should be replaced every three years and should never be washed. Hoover offers a two-year warranty for parts and labor. The pre-assembled vacuum weighs 22 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

Much better than Eureka Altima:
This is a pretty good vacuum for the price. We bought this to replace the Eureka Altima we purchased just a couple of months before. The Altima is went out to the curb a couple of days after this sweeper arrived. The pre-filter is not as fine on this vacuum so more dirt gets through to the main filter. It's not a huge deal since on most value bagless units you have to clean the pre-filter and the main filter pretty regularly anyway. This TurboPower doesn't seem to lose power during sweeping or between... more info
Turbo Empower:
The Hoover Turbo powered Empower vacuum does a very good job with it's suction on ground in dirt .Turbo boost does get the troublesome piece of hard to reach debris.The cannister is easy to clean.The vacuum though can only reach just so far under bookshelves or furniture about 6 inches above ground level.Overall does live up to its cleaning prowess on carpets but does a fine job on other surfaces.
hoover vacuum:
Initially I thought the vacuum was too bulky, but I got used to it. I bought it for the attachments & they're easy to use. The long cord can not be wrapped up well while the vacuum is in use & this proves to be cumbersome. Do not recommend for someone who does not have much strength in the arms.
Good vacuum overall . . .:
I've owned this vacuum for 9 months now and have only one minor complaint. First, it has excellent power for carpets (and floors). It will even pull itself along a bit just due to the brush head pulling along on the carpet. Before using the EmPower the first time, I used my old Hoover to clean my carpet. I was impressed (and distressed with my old vacuum) with how much it picked up, especially cat hair (I have two cats and a dog). The pet hair attachment works fairly well on hard to reach carpet areas and... more info
