Editorial Review:
Hoover Fold Away Bagless Upright Vacuum, Completely Assembled, Foldaway Handle, 15" Cleaning Width, Headlight, Deluxe Stretch Hose, Includes Attachments With Powered Hand Tool, MAP $79.99.
For quick household cleaning, the industry leaders at Hoover offer their Fold Away Widepath Bagless Vacuum. The upright 12-amp vacuum cleans carpets with an extra wide 15-inch head. The bagless format eliminates bag waste and the financial burden of purchasing bags. With allergen filtration, the vacuum also improves an environment's air quality, stripping away dust mites, ragweed, and most grass pollen. Thus, a 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 vacuum head features a helpful headlight to illuminate soiled patches. The vacuum addresses dirty baseboards with its brushed edge cleaning capability. Debris travels through an allergen filter into the sealed E-Z Empty dirt cup. True to its name, this dirt cap easily detaches from the vacuum body for emptying. The vacuum benefits from compact storage with its trademark handle, which folds down to minimize the vacuum's height. To tackle stairs or excessive pet hair, the vacuum comes equipped with a powerful hand-held tool. Additional accessories include an extension wand, dusting brush, upholstery nozzle, crevice wand, hard floor brush, and a triple-stretch hose. The power cord on this vacuum spans 24 feet in distance. Hoover offers a one-year warranty for this item. The pre-assembled vacuum weighs 30 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

Worst vacuum ever.:
I needed a vacuum and bought this one. Mistake! From day one it was spitting stuff out from underneath, no matter which carpet setting I used. Maybe it works better with shaggier carpet, but on mine it was just disgusting. Did they even test it? Who would bother using this thing? I'll never buy a Hoover again. It never wants to return to an upright state--I get some weird resistance from the spring in the hinge.
terrible product:
I bought this vacuum 2 months ago and at first thought it performed adequately, not great or good. Now it's December and we have a Christmas tree and I am completely disgusted. This vacuum won't pick up the pine needles on my wood floor - it blows them around rather than sucking them up. It picks up dog fur and dust, but if its heavier than dust it blows it away. The cord is ridiculously short. The tools fall off the back all the time. Today the second set of wheels mysteriously also fell off. I believe... more info
Returning it:
As much as I like the appearance and the foldaway handle, I really don't like this vacuum very much. The one I bought blows dirt out the back near the carpeting and is quite noisy. I will be returning it for a different model.
great little vacuum:
this is the second hoover fold away vacuum i've purchased. i gave my first one to my son when he got is first apartment--so i had an excuse to buy another one! this vacuum picks up pet hair better than anyother vacuum i have found. it is easy to empty the canister. wish there was a better way to get the dust out of the filter besides knocking the filter against the side of the trash can--but any thing to get the dust out!
