Great vacuum for small apartment, November 20, 2009

I was looking for a small vacumm for my one bedroom apartment in the mid-west and after doing a lot of research, I purchased this one. It's working out great. I didn't realize my carpets were so dirty until I used it and saw what was in the dirt canister. It seems to have really good suction with both the powered carpet brush and the hard surface attachment. At my other home, which is a small condo out west, I have had a Dyson Canister Vacuum for about four years which I like very much. This vacumm works as well if not better for a lot less money. The only other difference is the Hoover needs a little more room than the Dyson to store it.

A great save., November 19, 2009

For the first month or so, this vaccuum has really done the job well and we greatly prefer this bagless version and the oversized wheels. The only bad thing about this vaccuum is it is a little on the heavy side, and some of the add-ons could be better designed. For the price, I this is actually a very good deal for the power and options, and does a lot of things well that only a much more expensive vaccuum would do.

Hoover S3765-040, November 17, 2009
For the past 4 years I was using a Kenmore that I just loved. The Kenmore moved out so I replaced with the Hoover. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!
I will NEVER use anything else again. My 17 year old Dog passed away June 22nd. The Kenmore moved out in early Oct. I am still finding her hair in the canister...Sad... but amazing to see the difference between these 2 similar priced units.
Simple & Sweet, November 16, 2009

This vacuum cleaner is small and mighty, sweet and simple to use. This is money well spent. No bags to buy which is a savings right there! An easy to dump and clean dirt bin. I love everything about this vacuum cleaner from the retractible cord to changing the power head to the bare floor head. Can adjust suction right on the handle. I am always one to purchase the extra filters for the hepa and the dirt bin as its convenient to have them on hand. I have only cleaned the dirt bin filter. I looked at this vacuum on consumer reports looked it up on line reviews and also where to buy it. Amazon was the most inexpensive and I could have it delivered free!

It is a good vacuum cleaner, November 14, 2009
I bought this vacuum cleaner after I read other customers reviews and they were very helpful. The vacuum is easy to use, it is powerful and I can use it to clean the carpet under my bed where other cleaners didn't reach. It is also very easy to empty and you don't have to bother about buying bags. However, I have only used this product for two weeks.
