[REF Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2010] Reviews and ratings are hard to find on this fairly new vacuum, but those that are available indicate a high level of consumer satisfaction as can be seen in the table below. It should be noted here however that there are only a total of 11 reviews from which to draw ratings and this is indeed a small figure.
Like the ratings and reviews, vacuum likes and dislikes are hard to come by with limited consumer input (at this time) but there are some general comments of interest. See the pros and cons listed below: PROS CONS The product description and features for this vacuum cleaner are brief as it is a straightforward unit with limited bells and whistles. It weighs in at only 8.3 pounds - very light – which is good as it is meant to be worn over the shoulder (with a shoulder strap). It is a bagged vacuum cleaner, but unlike most bagged machines it uses a reusable 3-layer cloth bag that consumers report is easy to remove, empty and replace. There is also an option to use paper bags (requires bag adapter kit). The Hoover CH3000 is powered by a 120 Volt, 7.4 Amp motor that produces 2.2 Peak HP.
