Hoover Widepath Bagless Upright: Model U5175900
 |
Are you considering purchasing a Hoover Widepath Bagless Upright? Take a second or two to read our guide, here, and decide if the Hoover U5175-900 Bagless Upright is actually the vacuum for you.
This vacuum has a headlight for showing you the area that you're cleaning, so you know exactly when to move on.
The vacuum is also easily stored, as the handle folds up, making it ready for cleaning, and once it has done it's job, the handle folds back into place, reducing the space the vacuum occupies.
The 12 amp motor provides plenty of power, and the HEPA filter ensures that all allergens and dust particles are collected from your carpets.
It has a 24 feet power cord which is more than enough for rooms of all sizes, and the large cleaning path means you have to vacuum less, to clean a large sized room, than you would with another vacuum.
The Hoover Widepath Bagless Upright has received mixed reviews from users who have had both positive and negative experiences with it, and are unsure whether it's worth the price or not.
Suction power
The 12 amp motor is more than enough for most users, as the suction power provided is much more than users were expecting from it. Users warn others that for this suction power to remain the same, the filter must be cleaned after every use, or the dust will gather and seriously reduce its effectiveness.
Noise level and build quality
Noise level is one aspect that users agree on, and the noise is considered extremely irritating by all of them. The build quality also seems to be lacking, as numerous reports of broken vacuums can be found, and users report that all the plastic parts are in danger of breaking after about a year or so. The filters also require periodical changing, and their price is not very low, as users have found out.
Features
The cord length is more than enough for all users, and even large rooms are easily cleaned without moving the vacuum to a different plug. Users also report that the headlight is really helpful, and they don't know why all vacuum manufacturers don't include one on their vacuums.
Conclusion
The Hoover WindTunnel Bagless Upright is an average vacuum cleaner, with good suction power and the option of folding it away. While better vacuums may be found, this vacuum is still one of the best in this price range.
