The Hoover Elite Swivel Upright Vacuum has several positives. First of all, assembly is quick and easy. Next, it's very powerful! It leaves a clean smell behind after vacuuming. It swivels effortlessly is a big plus also. Pet hair also is not a big problem for this vacuum to eradicate. It picks up deeply embedded hair and dirt from carpet and rugs. It also does a flawless job on floors! I love this vacuum!
