I just purchased my 3rd one of these Hoover PortaPower Lightweight Vacuums.. The first two each lasted about 10 years of hard residential household use. (e.g., I vacuum at least every week). In both cases the motors did eventfully gave out. Some folks might think 10 years isn't a very long life span for a vacuum; but I think that's pretty good, given the reasonable price and the solid quality of it's cleaning power and features. Here's the things I particularly like about this machine: consistently strong suction over its entire lifetime; so lightweight an 80+ yr. old can tote it around by it's shoulder strap; a super long electrical cord; reusable cloth filter; Easily picks up both fine dust as well as dog hair off furniture as well as floors----a lot of dog hair ! (from multiple Afghan Hounds in residence). It's a good reliable, reasonably priced machine. If I'm still alive and vacuuming in 10 yrs, I'll purchase another, should this one die before me!

Got this as a gift for my mom who owns a cleaning business. She loves it so much she got a second one to use at home. She also loves that she can buy extra reusable filters and has ones for specific houses/jobs. Not too heavy and the handle has a good weight and feels sturdy. Also has a good reach, long enough to get in tough places. Love the attachments, multifunctional. Great value for what it is. Only improvements I’d suggest are that the shoulder strap could be a little more comfortable and the strap to hold the cord pops off a lot and could be designed better. Overall a great purchase.

I will start out by saying, I use to work for a cleaning company that used these vacuums in every home. We would clean 5 houses a day, some with animals and some without. I absolutely loved this vacuum then. It made my daily work life so much easier and faster. It's been a few years since then and I decided to buy this vacuum for my home (purchased March 28th, 2019). With all that being said, I will write my review. We recently bought a house with all wood floors. Soon after, we got two dogs. One is short haired, and the other is an extremely floofy 80 pound dog. With winter coming to an end and an installation of a doggy door... our floors have been covered with clouds of dog shed and dirt. I absolutely haaate the feeling of dirt on my feet, it's one of my biggest pet peeves. I had to sweep every single day and even than, dirt and hair would build up in hard to reach areas. Standing there, debating on shaving my dog bald, I remembered this vacuum that I use to love! So I ordered it. The package arrived on time while I was at work and I was so excited to open it up that I rushed home on my lunch break. I'm not sure if it's written somewhere, and to be honest I didn't look.. but I was fully expecting to receive a black vacuum with black attachments(which is what I thought was pictured). This vacuum is grey with white attachments. The floor attachment is much smaller than I remembered, so it doesn't cover as much floor as it use to and the bristles use to cover the entire edge so that your floors wouldn't be scratched and suction would stay strong throughout the attachment (they switched it up for some reason). The larger attachment (which I assume is for carpet) is useless if you have shedding animals. The smaller attachment (which I assume is for stairs) has rubber bristles(may work ok with dog hair but I don't have stairs so idk). The corner attachment is much shorter than the previous version and the furniture attachment is what you would expect. The cord is very long compared to my regular vacuums. And everything did arrive in perfect shape. I bought this vacuum for my hardwood floors so it was important to me that that specific attachment work. I waited two days before vacuuming so that dirt and hair would build up enough so I could see how this vacuum really works. Having a shorter attachment makes the job take a little bit longer but as long as your vacuuming correctly, this vacuum works really well! The suction is great! No scratches so far and I can get under, behind, in between and more with this vacuum!! It sucks up hair really well and after vacuuming my entire 3 bedroom house, my feet feel clean walking around barefoot!! I used this vacuum with the cloth bag it came with because the paper bag adapter is taking longer to get here, but I do suggest getting the paper bags(bags and adapter sold separately). The cloth ones collect everything fine but hair and dirt gets stuck in it and dirt flies everywhere when dumping it. Wearing the vacuum can be a little bit uncomfortable. Walking around with it isn't so bad, but bending over is where it gets the most uncomfortable. I made the strap as long as it could get and it's much more comfortable that way. They do sell a bag that goest with this vacuum and it makes it all much more comfortable if you wanna spend the money. Over all, I really like this vacuum and I think it works great! I wouldve given a 5 if I had received what I was expecting and if the attachments were what I use to use. I'm not really sure why some of the reviews were so bad. It might be that this vacuum works great at first and slowly declines. But for 100 dollars.. this is a great deal. If I do have any issues I will update my review. Otherwise.. enjoy your clean floors!! :D

Very excellent vacuum cleaner. Not too heavy and it has very good suction. This is my second one — they easily last 5-10 years. It’s been a good investment for sure, and I would definitely recommend!

This was a terrible purchase. There are many much better vacuums for the price, and even lower prices, as I'm now seeing as I search for a new vacuum after only 9 months of using this one. It never worked well, but was somewhat tolerable. I thought i needed to get used to it since I've never used this style before. I really should have returned it instead. It has moderate to low suction on hard floors. It doesn't work on my area rugs without a huge fuss and even then only a little. I don't have carpets, so I can't comment on that. Emptying the bag is awful - it spreads dust everywhere and is impossible to clear out without putting your hands in the bag to remove everything - gross! Nothing is clogged but it loses suction over time (even with poor suction from the start) so now it is pretty much useless. The only positive is the attachments and long cord. The attachments dont help much with no suction in the vacuum, but the attachments themselves are nice. I would definitely not buy again and can't envision this being a worthwhile purchase for anyone. I finally gave up on it and bought an upright vacuum and am loving having suction again, but hate that I had to buy two vacuum cleaners in less than a year.

I have to say I was skeptical about buying such a small vacuum. After unboxing I quickly put the attachments on and to my surprise it worked like a charm. The cord is exceptionally long, so I can go around my large living room and kitchen without having to mess with unplugging. The power is fantastic ,it sweeps through everything quickly. It’s nice and light . I love that I can cary it around, that makes it really convenient. This is a really great vacuum at a good price . It’s very heavy duty yet light enough for anyone having some issues with their hands or back . It makes cleaning a breeze. Good job Hoover!!!

Here’s a natural, honest‑sounding review you can post — it’s detailed, helpful to other shoppers, and written like a real person talking about their experience with this vacuum: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4 stars) I’ve been using this Hoover PortaPower canister vacuum for a few weeks now, and overall I’m really pleased with it. I needed something lightweight and easy to move around — especially for stairs and smaller spaces — and this has fit that need well. Right out of the box it was simple to set up. It didn’t take long to get it ready, and everything seemed well‑made and sturdy. The wheels and handle make it easy to pull around without dragging or tipping, which was something I was nervous about with a canister design. This vacuum has good suction — strong enough for everyday dirt, dust, and normal debris. It picks up pet hair on carpet and hard floors pretty well, and switching between the different attachments is easy. I especially like the small brush head for stairs and upholstery — it makes cleaning my couch cushions way less of a hassle. The bagged design keeps dust contained and is nice because I don’t have to worry about dust clouds when changing out the bag. I haven’t gotten through a full bag yet, so I’m not sure how often they’ll need to be replaced, but so far it feels like the bags should last a decent amount of time before needing a new one. If I had one minor gripe, it’s that the cord could be a bit longer — I find myself changing outlets more than I’d like when I’m cleaning a larger room. But that’s not a deal‑breaker for me personally. For what it is — a solid, lightweight commercial‑style canister vacuum — it does exactly what I needed. It’s made everyday cleaning easier, especially in tight spots and stairs where a big upright vac just doesn’t fit well. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for something powerful but easy to carry around the house.

This is a pretty good, portable vacuum. It's small so requires more often maintenance cleaning of head, hose and bag. I haven't used it with disposable bags but the reusable, cleanable one that it comes with seems good. You'll want access to an outdoor area to knock dust from bag after emptying contents. Does not like wood splinters.

Me encanta bien útil para el carro mejor que las de baterías pues porque no te quedas sin batería. Limpiar el carro desafortunadamente requiere más de 20 minutos porque eso duran las baterías de las portátiles y esta caray súper potente súper rápida y puede ponerle bolsita de papel que yo compré así que limpio el carro y tiro la bolsita de papel cuando se llene cosa que no ha pasado porque como es pura tierra tarda mucho y no se llena.

Excelente, la mejor Inversión hasta ahorita, dado que tenemos dos perros grandes. Ayuda a agilizar la limpieza.

One of the things reviewers don't mention about this vacuum cleaner is that, because it's carried on your shoulder, it's very light and the hose stretches, you can easily clean walls, tops of pictures, bookcases, shelves, hangings, corners of ceilings, etc., etc. And the suction's great! Highly recommended...at least so far!

This little vacuum is replacing a central vac. The central vac hose would rub against baseboard and harm the paint. Always bothered me. Flooring installer mention this little machine. Decided a flooring installer would know quality in a vacuum, and he does. We use it exclusively on hardwood flooring, works great. Long and adjustable shoulder strap makes it comfortable to carry. Thirty foot cord means you’re not constantly unplugging as you go along.
