I bought this vacuum as have 2 cats and the suction is very good and it is great at picking up cat hair! Very good price for a powerful vacuum cleaner. Very happy.

Bought one of these new very recently. Frankly it's junk firstly after first use cord would not rewind properly.
The handle keeps falling off the suction pipe or the device on the other end does the same thing. Hoover needed the hoover back to fix the rewind problem no date of return by the retailer.
My advice is go for another brand don't consider Hoover

This vacuum replaced a more expensive unit and is just as good as any other I've used. Does a great job on hard floors or carpet using the appropriate attachments and variable suction. Light enough to carry up and down stairs and easy to empty and clean filters. Great unit for a great price.
