#*# Hoover 5507 900 Elite Auto Rewind Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner

I hate this vacuum cleaner. After less than a year and a half, I'm throwing it away. There's a HEPA filter hidden inside the canister that clogs up and reduces the suction. It must be cleaned every couple of uses, which is a dusty, dirty 15-minute job. When you use the tools, the roller doesn't stop and it chews up the carpet it's on. The whole unit is flimsy and feels like it's going to fall apart.

!$ Hoover 5507 900 Elite Auto Rewind Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner

I can't believe there are so many positive reviews on this vacuum. I have had a similar experience to others who disliked it--the vacuum worked fine for about six months, but now (1 1/2 yrs later) I spend more time doing maintenance on it than I do actually vacuuming! It has always been completely useless at picking anything up on wooden floors, it just spits everything back out. The carpets have been hit or miss--sometimes it does actually clean then, but mostly I'm left feeling like I haven't even vacuumed. When I contacted Hoover customer service, they were less than helpful, offering to send me a new belt (which I didn't need and also never arrived). I took it in for maintenance and was told that it was in perfect working order! So why are my floors still not clean? I wish I'd spent more money and bought a vacuum that actually works.

@# Hoover 5507 900 Elite Auto Rewind Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner

While this vacuum may do the job, it is something I regret purchasing.I bought it as Costco and I did not research the product or any others before purchasing it, I bought it from a friend's recommendation. It is VERY difficult to take apart and put back together. When I clean it I get dirt all over myself (I don't understand this bag less vacuum craze, while it is environmentally friendly, it is in no way convenient or pleasant) To top it off, the burning smell that others have reported is something I have experienced as well. I would not waste the money, it is a very cheap quality vacuum and has a short life.

If I had another suggestion I would gladly give it. I do not have a lot of experience purchasing a vacuum, I can only assume it is worth doing a little research and investing more money.
