- For its price, the Hoover EmPower U5262-910 offers a large array of features, including a fold-down handle for easy storage, five height settings and allergen filtration. This vacuum is said to perform well on both carpets and hard floors.
- Owners and experts agree that the EmPower is fairly noisy (even with its "hush" mode activated), and as with other Hoover vacuums, there are some complaints about breakdowns and poorly fitting parts. Also, this bagless vacuum requires regular maintenance.
Overall, owners and reviewers like that the bagless Hoover EmPower U5262-910 requires no assembly, and they say it has good features for its budget price, such as a fold-down handle for easy storage, five height settings and allergen filtration. This vacuum cleaner cleans carpets and hard floors well in tests, but there are some negative comments about noise, hard-to-attach tools and the need for regular maintenance. Among budget vacuums, we found better reviews for the Hoover Tempo Widepath (*est. $60).

2. About.com
After taking the Hoover EmPower for a spin, About.com housekeeping guide Sarah Aguirre recommends this vacuum for homes with lots of carpeting, and she especially praises the powered hand tool. However, she notes that this bagless vacuum needs regular maintenance, and that its "hush" mode doesn't much cut down on noise. The Hoover EmPower isn't compared to any other vacuum cleaners.
