 Great value in a low-cost upright September 21, 2007

I bought this Tempo based on its reviews and on the performance and quality of a Hoover canister-model bought for use at another residence.
There are many features to like about this vacuum. Compared to my Dad's expensive Kirby, this vacuum is less cumbersome to use, offers efficient on-side storage for its attachments, runs powerfully with little effort, is lightweight and easy to store. It sucks up everything and gets to the edges and into corners well. The bag-capacity is more than adequate for several thorough vacuuming sessions of a 600 square-foot apartment. On the downside, it is a bit noisier than other vacs, and the hose could expand by a foot or so more, which would make using the attachments easier.
All in all, I still rate this vacuum at five stars, because it cleans circles around competitive models from Dirt Devil, Eureka and the like.

This is by far the worst vacuum I have ever bought. The belt constantly comes off so that the brushes stop working. I am not exaggerating when I say that from the day I bought it, I have never gotten through vacuuming my downstairs rooms (only three) without having to remove the bottom, and replace the belt on the spindle at the motor. Usually have to replace it two or three times.
On top of that, there is no quick release for the bottom plate. Have to fully remove four screws each time. When it works it's ok, just a pain to keep working.
Excellent value and it just plain works June 13, 2006

The Hoover vaccuum is one of the top value choices via consumer reports and we just decided to give it a shot and we haven't been dissapointed. We have a small apartment and we really only use it on two smaller rugs and some bare floors, but we've had nothing but success with this product. The extension cord is PLENTY long, though we have a smaller apt. with outlets everywhere, but it's probably 20+ ft. long I would estimate.
Haven't really tried the extensions that come with it, but if you're just looking for a simple vaccuum that just does what it's supposed to and you're not worried about all the fancy tidbits, then this is for you.

..I really do like my Hoover and it was a very good price but I have 2 things against it. 1: The belt broke a week after I received it--I had only vacuumed 3 times! How can a new belt break that soon,I ask you.? I am not the only one who has written in about the belt. Are we supposed to just say "Oh well..the price was right!" ? I do not think so. Maybe if we complain enough the company will not cheat others with a cheap belt to begin with! 2: it is very awkward to pick up and down when doing stairs. I still want my Kenmore canister to be fixed so until then I will use this. Yes, the suction is good! But if it keeps breaking belts I will junk it.

I just purchased my second one! What a great deal.. I have always owned Hoover, and this one won't steer anyone wrong. Hoover is the best brand of vacuum on the market. This vacuum is a bare bones model, but that's all I really need. I'm a simple user, not needing all the fancy buttons, etc. It does have all the tools too.. It really does the trick at such an unbelievable price.. Super!!
