Amazon.com Review
With a custom power boost function for serious matting and soiling, Hoover offers their EmPower bagless vacuum for household cleaning needs. The upright 12-amp vacuum offers two power settings and five height levels to accommodate a wide variety of floor and carpet types, while eradicating both deeply embedded debris and light layers of dust. With a long-lasting HEPA cartridge filter, the vacuum also improves an environment's air quality, stripping away dust mites, ragweed, and most grass pollen. In removing and containing these allergens, the newly vacuumed room provides relief for sufferers of seasonal allergies like hay fever and helps minimize the discomfort for individuals with cat or dog allergies.

To ensure a clean carpet, the 15-inch wide vacuum head features a helpful headlight to illuminate soiled patches. The agitation from the vacuum's brush roll uproots dirt from even the plushest carpet, with the option of the push button power boost for heavy-duty cleaning. To accommodate households with sleeping babies, children at study, or other volume sensitive inhabitants, the EmPower model is endowed with a Hush mode, operating on lower power for quieter maintenance. Debris travels through a Teflon-coated HEPA cartridge filter into a sealed dual-chamber dust cup. The chambers are transparent to allow easy monitoring of the dust cup's fullness. The dust cup detaches from the vacuum body for easy emptying. Vacuum tools and accessories include a powered hand tool for pet hair and stair step cleaning, extension wand, upholstery nozzle, crevice wand, and an extra-reach hose. The vacuum handle folds down for compact storage. The power cord on this vacuum spans 31 feet in distance. For the best results, the HEPA filter should be replaced every three years and should never be washed. Hoover offers a one-year warranty for this item. The pre-assembled vacuum weighs 21 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

Customer Reviews

This Vacuum really Sucks - and thats a GOOD thing
Bought this vacuum based on consumer reports reviews as well as customer reviews and have not been disappointed at all. The vacuum is easy to handle - seems lighter than some of my previous vacuums. Bagless feature is great and easy to take off, empty, and put on again. Fold down handle is also a plus as we live in an apartment and storage is an issue - fits perfectly in small utility closet. Overall we are extremely pleased for the price you just can't beat it.

Overall, a good buy
I bought this vacuum after reviewing lots of vacuum's in consumer reports- this one met my needs for the price. It's easy to use, easy to store. It's not that easy to do stairs with and it's not as quiet as I had hoped, but overall for the money it was worth it- so far. I have only had it for a couple months. It picks up pet hair well, so if you have pets and don't want to spend a small fortune on a vacuum, this will do fine.

AWESOME!
I am so pleased with my EmPower Bagless! It is my first bagless, and it is replacing my uber expensive and uber useless Oreck! The first time I vacuumed my apartment I got so angry and disgusted at the amount of schmutz the Hoover picked up. I was so grossed out by all the what-not and dust and general Yuck that the Hoover was able to get and the Oreck was not! I have never been more pleased with a household appliance!
