I have bought vacuum after vacuum trying to find the best but most functional way to keep my floors clean. I spent quite a bit on my latest one, and I vacuum at least weekly, sometimes more. But to my surprise, this Hoover showed me just how second rate mine was! I did deep vacuuming...not a quick run over...with my vacuum, then I used my new Hoover just to try out how it swiveled, etc. To my surprise and horror, my new Hoover picked up SO.MUCH.DUST from floors that I thought were clean! Not only is it easy to use and maneuver, but it cleans deeper and more effectively than any vacuum I have had! I use it on my carpet, laminate, tile, and hardwood areas. And I am sold on Hoover now!
