Hoover S2200 Flair

Pros: Under 10 pounds means I can carry it with one hand. Stairs are a breeze!

Cons: Short cord

The Bottom Line: This isn't a fancy machine--no attachments or light to see where you're vacuuming--just a basic machine that cleans well on any surface.

Review: DID WE NEED ANOTHER VACUUM? Not really, but the purple monster (here’s the review ht tp://www.epinions.com/content_ 90188123780) we own was great when we had wall to wall carpet but now that we’ve removed ...

Pros: Powerful suction, large dirt cup, gets all the way to the edge/up against baseboards

Cons: Can tip easily if not left in correct upright position

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this to anyone (and have!) for it's ease of use and excellent results.

Review: After struggling to keep our hardwoods and tile clean in our new house, I gave up sweeping and started searching for a great broom vac. Sweeping and then using a dustbuster on the dirt piles seemed to just push the dirt and hair around. I'd turn around ...

Pros: Great suction Can vacuum under furniture because of pivoting system Lightweight Quiet

Cons: None!

The Bottom Line: This handy vacuum is fabulous. The Hoover Flair was the best appliance I have purchased in years.

Review: I have never been excited about a vacuum until now. (Well, that's if you don't count the time my husband sucked the curtains right off their rings, then had to extract the mutilated fabric from the bottom of the vacuum--but that's another story.) I love ...

Pros: lightweight, can turn off roller brush, swivel head, great suction

Cons: cord is a little short, could use a small hose to do windowsills

Review: I love this new little stick vacuum. It has terrific suction and the head swivels to get into corners. It even fits under chairs and furniture. It picks up so much more dust and pet hair than my big Hoover. The roller brush can be turned off to ...

Pros: Quiet, long cord, great suction, stands on its own, swivel head, looks cool.

Cons: Heavier than some. Swivel head may break eventually. Motor may overheat eventually (gets hot).

Review: This is the best stick vac I've purchased. I've had a Hoover stick vac before. It worked great but eventually overheated and died. I've had several Eureka stick vacs. Their suction is poor and they eventually break (usually the handle). The Hoover ...

Pros: Great Suction & maneuverability, easy to clean out

Cons: None

Review: I LOVE this Hover Flair. I have four young kids and I have to vacuum my kitchen and eating area at least once a day. It has incredible suction and is so lightweight and easy to use, my three and four year old end up doing a really good job getting the ...

Pros: Stylish, maneuverable , functional, larger rear rollers

Cons: Those with weaker wrists may find operation uncomfortable after extended use.

The Bottom Line: This improved Flair model is better than the Quik Broom model it replaces.

Review: My trusted Hoover "Quik Broom" experienced a plastic malfunction which allowed the head continuously to fall off. I suspect it may have been dropped causing the premature faulure - whatever it needed replacing quickly. I went to the local Brandsmart ...

Pros: Everything, I just love it, and it's FUN to use!

Cons: ?No hose on top, no attachments. $50 is a bit steep, but worth it.

The Bottom Line: Above average styling, performance and ease of use. You can't go wrong with this one.

Review: I just moved into a new house with lots of hardwood and carpet. We have a very large, very messy parrot, and vacuuming daily is a fact of life. This is light enough to keep in the coat closet, and I can take it out and zoom it around the floor in a ...

Pros: I love the weight. It moves and swivels and fits under things! Good power!

Cons: Power nozzle breaks after warranty expires. It squeals loud enough to hurt. Doesn't work anymore.

Review: I've been working with my 3rd one!..and now it squeals too! For some reason, when they get to be about a year and a month old, they have a part in the power nozzle that starts squealing! We can't figure out why that it is!I keep buying another one ...

Pros: Great suction, swivel head, lightweight, see-through dust cup, low cost, long cord, quiet.

Cons: No attachments, motor overheats with prolonged use.

Review: It is quiet, light, powerful, easy to maneuver; it has a nice long cord, a see-through dust cup, and a swivel head. What a bargain! I only have two problems with it: (1) the motor works so hard it tends to get overheated; and (2) there is no way to ...
