Features & Performance
There are many vacuum cleaners that do not require disposable bags. However one of the biggest issues with many such vacuums is the usability of the dirt cup.
In some cases the dirt cup fills up very quickly and needs to be emptied out more than once in a cleaning session. In other cases, cleaning the dirt cup is very messy. With the c1415, cleaning the EZ empty dirt cup is not a chore, but a breeze.
The unit has an air flow indicator that tells you when you need to empty the dirt cup. This thoughtful feature keeps your vacuum in top working condition.
With a 24 foot power cord, you can virtually take the vacuum cleaner anywhere within your house to clean without having to plug it into another extension. A simple push of a button on the vacuum retracts the power cord effortlessly. No need to rewind the power cord on your own.
The unit is powered by a 12 amp motor. It has powerful suction power that works well on carpets, bare floors, upholstery and stairs. It has 7 different height adjustments that allow you to clean any type of surface.
Summary
Users have reported great performance from this vacuum. This vacuum is a performance all-rounder as it works well no matter what type of surface you are cleaning. Just make sure that you adjust the height of the vacuum so that it is compatible with the surface you are cleaning.
It comes with a number of cleaning tools such as the a combination dusting brush, upholstery tool, pet-hair cleaning tool and a long crevice wand.
It is reliable and can be used extensively without breaking down or giving you any sort of trouble.

The Hoover Elite Rewind Bagless vacuum is a winner. Great vacuum, great price on Amazon. Love the rewind feature..no more winding cords, only to have them come undone. Good suction and no more bags to buy. If you place the dirt cup in the bottom of your trash bag there is no mess. Love this vacuum.
Taken care of properly- Its fantastic.

I've had this vacuum for about 2 years. I have 4 kids under 10, so we use it often. It has amazingly good suction. It works very well for just about anything except on a hard floor. Don't bother with trying it on a hard floor, it just blows the junk on the floor all over. Actually, I think it is the brush that does that.
If one is going to buy this vacuum they have to keep a few things in mind. First, it is mostly plastic parts. You must be careful with it or parts will break. So far, I've been careful and nothing has broken. Second, A great thing about it is that you never have to buy filters or bags for this vacuum. That was a big selling point for me. The drawback is that you have to maintain only one of the two filters it has. They provide you with a brush to clean it, but I've found better ways to clean it. If properly clean this first filter, this vacuum will have fantastic suction all the time. The first filter is located at the top of the inside of the waste canister. Just pop out the canister, empty its contents into a waste can (do this outside your home or in a garage because of the dust). Then twist the top off the canister. A yellow plastic part with holes all over it will be on the top. Twist it off and inside is the first filter. It is a cylinder shape. Use the brush to swipe through all the folds in the filter. Dust and junk will come out. Then (here is the important part) find a place outside on concrete, turn the filter on its side and tap it quickly on the concrete as you slowly rotate it. A pile of dust from the filter will pile up on the ground as you tap and rotate. Eventually hardly any dust will be coming out as you tap. The filter is now ready to be put back in and give you great suction. You should clean the yellow part that holds the filter to the canister handle. You can do that with a water hose, or in your sink. Then just put it all back together and its is ready to go. Like I said, I like not having to buy filters and bags. If money is not an issue to you and you don't like cleaning things, then don't buy this vacuum.
The second filter is the hepa filter. It is located in the big round air exhaust opposite the cord rewind mechanism. You don't need to bother with this filter. I tried to clean it once after about a year, but realized that it wasn't even dirty. The first filter does a great job at catching everything.
I did have to replace the brush belt a few months ago. I bought a pack of two belts when I bought the vacuum. This is a normal part to wear out. Almost any vacuum you buy will have a brush belt that will eventually have to be replaced.
I've read many of the bad reviews on this vacuum. Two things come to mind when I read them. There are probably some that don't properly take care of the first filter, thereby loosing suction and eventually the motor burns out because it is working to hard to overcome it. And as with any product, there are going to be a few vacuums that are defective from the factory. A few people don't have a good experience with the product because of that, and they write a terrible review. The majority of the vacuums though will be properly working ones. I highly recommend this one.
Does the job right

I bought this after reading some reviews on Amazon. I've only got an 850 sq ft carpeted apartment, and this thing sucked up everything. I was amazed how much dirt it could grab. The hose worked great at getting the quarter-inch of carpet against the walls and I used the mini vacuum head on the couches. Now, i did have to walk it slowly to make sure it gets everything - it's not a Dyson - but if you can take the extra 5 minutes to make sure you backtrack you'll be amazed how much this vacuum pulls up.
Clean up was a breeze and the extension cord auto-coil worked great.
Dirt Cup Defect?
Review Date: August 19, 2010
Reviewer: Steven Chernus, Pittsburgh PA USA
The vacuum itself works very well, at a good price. However, it appears that there was a problem in the design or manufacture of the clear plastic dirt cup. The first one had a crack running down from the top opening to one of the rear flanges, and was VERY difficult to fit into its receptacle cap containing the HEPA filter. Upon receiving a replacement cup from Hoover, it appears that these may have been reworked in some way post manufacture. Where the crack was in the first cup, there is a strange seam in the plastic, which appears to be an afterthought. I have my doubts this will be durable, given the difficulty involved in reseating the red cap once it has been detached. It may be best to never disassemble this part and only empty dirt from the bottom.
Do Not Buy this!!!

I hoped this vaccuum would be a good replacement for my Eureka (10 y.o.) and I really wanted a bagless.
1) No bag = you deal with the dirt, dust, blech! Even with the 'easy dump' it's digusting in even the lightest wind.
2) Hose attachemet is on the main, when you remove it the base still spins, so dirt and dust fly up the base and into the air/on you.
3) Overheats and shuts off
4) It doesn't work properly and hasn't worked properly since about 5 weeks after I bought it.
Do not buy this vaccuum. It is a waste of money. Consider yourself warned.
No video reviews found for this product.
