Overall, owners of the Hoover Tempo Widepath U5140-900 upright vacuum are very happy with their purchase. They praise the vacuum's good suction and relatively low weight (16 pounds), which makes it easier to push and to carry up and down stairs. Professional tests indicate that this bag-equipped vacuum cleaner controls dust well, even though it does not include a HEPA filter. It also handles well and is good at picking up pet hair. Because the brushroll can't be turned off, however, some users say it tends to spit back debris on hard surfaces (though one professional review rates its bare-floor cleaning performance as excellent). The Tempo Widepath includes a flexible hose with attachments to tackle upholstery and floorboards. An alternative is the even lighter Hoover Platinum Bagged Upright with Canister UH30010COM (*Est. $250) , which doesn't have attachments but weighs only 12.5 pounds; a separate canister vacuum is included.
The Hoover Tempo Widepath U5140-900 earns positive overall reviews from more than 2,000 owners who have posted reviews at Amazon.com, plus hundreds more at Walmart.com, BestBuy.com and Epinions.com. It's also included in ConsumerReports.org's more scientific roundup of vacuum cleaners. ConsumerGuide.com reviews this model as well, recommending it as a Budget Buy.
