Worst vacuum cleaner ever!!!

published

Paid $600 for vacuum/accessories. Cuts out constantly. Took it back, was told nothing wrong with it. Can’t use it for 2 minutes without stopping .... and suction not great. Wouldn’t recommend.

Purchased in October 2021 at Godfreys Physical Stores for $600.00.

DONT BUY!!!! LEMON

Clogs all the time. CUT OUT AFTER ONE MINUTE. We bought this approximately 15months a go and it was a waste of money. Especially what we paid. This was also recommended by the salesman in the Fairy meadow store. I refuse to take it back and be charged more by Godfrey’s for servicing especially when every comment I read agrees with my review. Very disappointed. Price of crap.

Purchased at Godfreys.

How about a good review for a change.

published

I have been using the little Hoover for 3 or 4 years with great success. Just in between main vacs but keeps the tiled and carpeted floors free of walked in or spilt debris. Yes i have to empty the collector after every use but that's expected on such a small machine. Before i found out the hard way, i did get a clogged up hose but since clearing it have not had a problem. It has just started stopping frequently so may have to do something about that. All in all delighted with its performance.

Purchased in January 2021 for $500.00.

When it works it works well, i am also having trouble with it shutting down on high speed and now it doesn't work for longer than a minute on low speed. Its only been used probably 30 times over the last 18 months since i bought it, it seems to be a common problem reading the reviews, how does one get this fixed?

Disappointed

Bought the Hoover Stick from Godfreys Fairy Meadow about 18 months ago - within 12 months whilst under warranty took it back as the unit wouldn’t switch off so had to run it till battery went flat and it also cut out every time I used the turbo mode - sent it away came back fixed but did not have the same power - took it back again only to get offered another brand vac stick which I was going to have to pay a few hundred dollars more - sorry very disappointed in the Hoover And now looking at replacing it - so no don’t think it is worth the money I paid for it.

Purchased in June 2021 at Godfreys for $500.00.

Nothing but trouble

published

The salesman assured us we were getting a good deal how ever it constantly blocks up and the battery doesn’t last long half hour at the longest and that’s not even on turbo. Very frustrating. The hose split about Christmas time and has added more frustration and if that’s not all my husband took it to godfrys and they told him the battery only has a year warranty and the vacuum has a 2 year warranty more frustration

Disaster Purchase

published

This so-called vacuum cleaner is the most poorly designed piece of equipment ever built. Run it over a carpet for 5 minutes and it becomes totally blocked. It just pushes dirt around. I have never seen any debris in the lower chamber as the tubes become blocked. A Class Action should be started against Hoover and Godfreys. !!!!!. If they had any conscious they would refund every purchaser at least $500.00

Agree with all the above. Worst vacuum ever. Picked up a $99 from Aldi & stomps all over this one.
Godfrey’s obviously knew these were crap & had to shift them, hence all salesman hype. Should gave to refund everyone for false advertising. Shame on you!

Unbelievable!

published

Further to my original review some months ago..was told by Hoover ...”You should keep in mind that the Hoover Air Stick Pro Is only meant to be used for QUICK PICKUPS when it wasn’t necessary to use the vacuum cleaner” ...$600+ to do what can be done with a $3 brush and dust pan??? How arrogant are Godfreys? Do they think all women are that stupid? What planet are these people on? Over priced piece of garbage, and to think the rotten thing blows anything light away and which it is incapable of sucking up! ..So much for QUICK PICKUPS! Obviously manufactured specifically for Godfreys and nothing to do with the original Hoover brand!

Worse vacuum ever!!!

published

Use just for 2 mats. No animals. Brought from Godfreys Bunbury 2 years ago . Told it was better than Dyson. Have to unscrew everything to look at what could be the problem. Cuts out after 1 minute. I clean it all the time. Paid $599. Waste of money. Will never go back to Godfreys again.

Purchased at Godfreys for $599.00.

Terrible vacuum

published

Advised by the store that this was the best cleaner and worth the high price, but my experience is the battery dies very quickly before I can clean 1 room and the strength of suction is less than I expected. Also, clearing the dirt collection is a dirty process.

I went to Cranbourne Godfreys and apparently the brush had a issue. I was then charged $30 to replace that and the guy said it's not covered as warranty. This is not acceptable :(

Hoover air stick pro how can put the easy brush in the head.

Godfrey G.Hoover

Hi Judy,
To remove the brush you will need to unlock the latch with a coin, the brush can then be lifted out.
To put the brush back in place the opposite end of the brush, from the latch, in first then the other side will just drop into place, the latch will then need to be re-locked into position.
This can also bee seen on page 14 of the user manual.

Hi Jenny,
There may be an issue with the battery, charger or the machine's PCB.
We would recommend taking the machine and charger into your nearest Godfreys store for further inspection.
