Budget bagging upright vacuum

- Good performance on carpet
- Low dust emissions
- Inexpensive
- Attachment hose is unwieldy
- No off switch for brushroll
- Noisy
In general, owners of the Hoover Tempo Widepath U5140-900 upright vacuum are very happy with it. They praise the vacuum's suction power, which picks up pet hair with ease, and they say it's easy to push and carry because it's relatively lightweight (16 pounds). Professional tests indicate that this bag-equipped vacuum cleaner controls dust well, even though it does not include a HEPA filter. Because the brushroll can't be turned off, some users say it tends to scatter debris on hard surfaces. That said, one professional review does rate its bare-floor cleaning performance very highly. We also read a number of complaints from otherwise satisfied users who say the Hoover is loud.
The Tempo Widepath includes a flexible hose with attachments to clean upholstery and floorboards. It carries a one-year warranty. An alternative is the even lighter Hoover Platinum Bagged Upright with Canister UH30010COM (*Est. $230), which doesn't have attachments but weighs only 12.5 pounds; a separate canister vacuum is included.
