Title: Is it powerful? Definitely. Will it break? Probably.
Product review: We loved our Flair. We were willing to tolerate the loud noise it made (like a jet on takeoff) because we felt there was some correlation to suction, and truth be told, this vacuum really did a great job at cleaning up the kitchen (hardwood), especially along edges and in corners. It never seemed quite perfectly designed, as it cannot stand on its own, and must be propped up in a corner or else laid down on the ground. And the dirt cup is not what you might call large. Still, it got the job done, and looked pretty good doing it.But after just over a year of ownership and regular if not often use (3 or 4 times per week and never on carpet), the nozzle broke off at the neck. I tried Super Glue and duct tape but that only lasted a day or two. I have asked Hoover for goodwill on the warranty given the high incidence of failure on this specific part, and I will post any update here. In the meantime, I am back to a broom and dustpan.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
