Absolutely love this vacuum.

published

This vacuum is amazing. With the vibrating power head it is able to lift up dirt and pet hair that has disappeared into the carpet, making it a more deeper clean. This vacuum can be used on all floor types and comes with attachments to use on lounges. Easy to move around, light and not too loud. A great product that I recommend to everyone.

Great product

published

The suction on this vacuum is amazing! It's lightweight easy to slide around and is relatively quiet. It's super easy to clean and it's filters are very practical. the arrangement of different attachments come in handy and make this vacuum very versatile. I love it! I have a dog inside and it never fails to suck all of the hair out of my rugs and couch! I use it everywhere and I cannot fault it.

Does a great job!

published

This is a great vacuum cleaner. The powerhead works really well, especially for our cat's hair (ragdoll with LOTS of fur). Overall has very good suction, and easy to use. Sometimes hose kinks, but probably no more than other similar style vacuums. I'd buy this one again. Great all rounder.

Trusty vacuum that picks up so much dust

published

The main things I was looking for from this vacuum were to pick up hair and dust. This vacuum does both of those things very well. The salesperson at Godfreys initially sold this to me as he asked whether anyone in my family has allergies (yes - two family members) and suggested we try this and see if symptoms improve. My son's sniffles stopped within a few days of vacuuming his room with this.
We now use this vacuum every few days, and it is both satisfying and scary to see how much it picks up. Could not live without this.

Good vac

published

This was a really good vacuum when I first purchased it. It collected Everything! It started to lose a bit of suction within the first six months so I had it serviced. Still not as good as when I first purchased it but it seems to get the job done

Hoover Action Powerhead

published

The suction for the powerhead is fantastic and very easy to manouver around the house. With two dogs we find this product great in collecting the pet hair we are plagued with. We use this successfully in a three bedroom house with carpeted bedrooms and the rest is hardwood floors.

This is a great vaccum.

published

This is the best vaccum we have owned it has a spinning head witch is great for picking up hair and even dirt that gets into the carpets. Its very powerful not like a lot of vaccums that don't pick up hardly anything it is also a bagless vaccum as I hate mucking around empting bags or changing bags. its well worth the extra few dollars we had to pay. Highly Recommended.

This really sucks!

published

This is probably the best vacuum we've ever owned.
It has very strong suction, but the thing that really makes it stand out is the Powerhead. Our carpets and floor rugs have never looked so clean.
I do agree with another review about the filters - they get clogged quite easily & frequently. It's a minor annoyance for an otherwise great product.

Suction OK but maintenance cumbersome

published

The action (rotating brush) floor head of this vacuum cleaner works really nice, but this cycle vacuum has a major problem with its filters. Even after a single vacuum run the filters are clogged and need thorough cleaning; if you don't you loose a lot of suction force. So it works but having to clean top filter every single time is a major hassle and a design flaw in my opinion - never had such an issue with a Dyson cyclone vacuum.

My vacuum literally just died whilst using ...no power at all
Is there a suggested quick fix

Hi Cam,
The machine may have overheated.
Please check the head, rod, hose and filter for blockages and try turning it on again once it has cooled down.

Turn off and retract plug back into vacuum let cool down, check bag is not full and make sure you pull plug cord all the way out before turning it on again sometimes they don't turn on unless cord is fully out

I brought one of these recently and the dirt goes into a square behind the dust barrel which is part of the main motor section before it starts to accumulate in the dust barrel. Clearly the square is not meant to filling up with dust.

Hmm, mine doesn't do this at all. Can you take it back to the store?

Hoover
Godfrey G.Hoover

Hi Elizabeth,
We would recommend to check the filters of your machine and give them a good clean, it is also recommended to replace the filters every 6-12 months.
If you are still experiencing issues we would recommend taking the machine into your nearest Godfreys store, when they are open, for further inspection.
Please be advised that due to the COVID-19 outbreak the Godfreys stores and service centres are currently closed.

The Hoover Team

It is brand new. I think there is a filter missing, from reading the thread above. There was nothing in the box.

Have you checked the powerhead for any obstructions like hair, carpet thread that can be caught up around the brushes etc. and carefully cut with scissors and pull debris out, check the underside of power head by removing screw and clean brushes and checking the belt drive is not broken if so replace it. Also check that the power head has clicked in properly to the extension arm.

Yep have done all of that

On two occasions when the powerhead hasn't fully clicked into place and not switched on at the handle.
