I'll start this review by saying straight offI have two Dysons. I also have three birds, three cats, a six-year old child, a husband that telecommutes from home, a big garden, and a father that golfs on dusty courses and brings back a lot of sand and dirt, so our vacuums are put to work on a very regular basis. We vacuum several times a day.The Hoover was actually a pleasant surprise. While it's not as powerful as the Dyson, it's not nearly as expensive.
Pros:
Suction is excellent. Gets up tons of cat hair, feathers, dirt, dust, litter, seed, etc.
Works great on rugs and bare floors. It's also really great at getting stuff up from the grout, which other vacuums can miss.
Very easy to empty.
Lightweight but not flimsy.
Easy to switch between modes.
Very few attachments to lose and deal with.
Not too noisy.
Long cord.
No bags.
The cons:
Doesn't navigate like the Dyson, but that's actually a pro in some ways. My mom has really bad arthritis in her hands and can't use the Dyson because of the way it navigates but she CAN use this. So for those with joint issuesthis can be a plus.
The hose assembly is a bit tricky. But that seems to be the case on ALL vacuumsone of our Dysons has a terrible hose assembly that requires way too much work to get the attachments on, so I think this might be another "across the board" issue.
As others have noted, sometimes pet hair can get wrapped around the cone inside the canister, and when you empty the vacuum you have to reach in and pull it out. Kinda gross.
All in all, it's a powerful vacuum. Not as powerful as the Dyson, but not as pricey or "fussy", either. I definitely recommend it for those who don't want or need a Dyson but want something powerful and easy to use and empty.
