The Hoover Presto is a combination stick vacuum and handheld vacuum. The handheld unit detaches from the stick vac and includes several attachments (crevice tool, upholstery tool and dusting brush). Owners give the Presto good ratings citing its light weight, solid construction and quiet operation. Folks also like that it is compact and easy to store. In addition, a motorized brushbar makes this stick vac capable on both carpet and bare floors. However some consumers report that the unit is difficult to push on carpet and that the dust canister is quite small and in need of frequent emptying. [REF Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Reviews]
Consumer ratings for the Hoover Windtunnel Air UH70400 run the gamut from 5 stars to 1 star. For some owners the unit’s respectable suction, easy-to-empty dust canister, light weight and maneuverability make it a great fit for their cleaning needs. But others cite problems with removing and reattaching the hose, limited ability on pet hair, and small vacuum size as issues. This is indeed a fairly compact and light vacuum cleaner and this combination often has both pros and cons. [REF Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Reviews]
This bagged upright is getting very, very good consumer ratings. At the time of this writing, for example, almost 80% of the Amazon customer reviews have given the Hoover C1404 5 stars out of 5. However, it is important to understand what you are getting in this machine. It is a no frills, very basic and somewhat loud commercial vacuum cleaner. But for the consumer looking for a bare bones unit that simply does what it is supposed to do, it would appear this one delivers. It is also popular with both commercial and residential users alike.

Consumer ratings vary widely for the Hoover C1660-900 Hush Commercial vacuum. Many owners report that it is powerful, has an easy-to-empty dirt canister, and is a very capable vacuum cleaner.

Ratings for the Hoover UH30600 are very, very good although it is only fair to point out that a large number of consumer ratings for this new machine are not yet available. The UH30600 is a bagged upright designed for both carpet and bare floors. It has HEPA filtration, a long power cord, a range of on-board tools, and seven different height settings. Owners feel that it has outstanding suction and that it is not too expensive (about $150 at certain outlets). Some consumers find it a bit heavy however. [REF Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Reviews]
The Hoover WindTunnel T-Series UH30300 is not fancy but it is light, has powerful suction, is easy to maintain and is also very reasonably priced.

Hoover has a number of cyclonic canister vacuums on the market and the Hoover SH40060 is one of the least expensive, yet it gets some of the best reviews and ratings from consumers. It is not widely available and you won’t see it for sale on too many online retail websites (but it can be found at the likes of Amazon, Target and a few others). It comes with a lot of good features and is noted by owners for having strong suction, washable filters and a powered brushbar. [REF Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Reviews]
The Hoover MaxExtract All-Terrain Carpet Cleaner garners many great ratings from consumers but also gets almost as many poor ratings. Those that like it say it is probably one the best steam cleaners available and that it does an excellent cleaning job on both carpets and bare floors, while those that do not like it cite problems with leaky water tanks and flimsy plastic parts. Owner experiences couldn’t differ more for a steam vac. [REF Steam Cleaner Reviews]
The Hoover Corded Cyclonic Stick Vacuum (model SH20030) gets strong ratings from consumers with owner comments indicating a very high level of satisfaction with the units maneuverability, light weight and quiet operation.

This is a similar handheld vacuum to the Hoover BH50015 but it is geared towards households with pets. It comes with a specialized pet hair tool and is getting very solid consumer reviews and ratings. It is a cordless and bagless unit that comes with “fade-free” power - the result of using a lithium-ion battery. Many owners also feel the battery charge lasts a reasonable amount of time.
