The Hoover Elite Swivel Upright is a fantastic ally in your battle of dust and dirt. First thing I noticed when removing it from the box is that it is extremely light, but still feels very solid. Set up literally took less time than getting the box in the house and opened, which is always a plus. The head swivels easily to maneuver around furniture (and curious pets!) and it moves nearly effortlessly across our tile and wood floors. The suction is pretty good, it grabbed nearly everything we normally to sweep up. The only issues we had with suction was on larger pebbles that were more than your typical sized debris tracked in from inside. Clean up was a breeze! Overall a great value vacuum cleaner!
