Title: Died Young
Product review: After much research on my part, we had high hopes for our Hoover Flair. We hoped that it would take good care of our new hardwood and porcelain tile floors and it did a pretty good job. Unfortunately, in just seven months, it DIED! Something plastic broke inside and it just wouldn't suck any more. My husband is good repairing things, but he just shook his head and said it would cost more to fix than it was worth. We have three other vacuums, a canister, an upright, and a hand-held. The Flair got used a lot for dust bunnies and corners-not too much to ask. Since our hand-held has a short hose and I can attach a wand and appropriate head, I can do the same thing with just a little more effort. Our canister can also be used for these purposes so I won't be replacing this unit anytime soon and I certainly will be paying close attention to sturdiness when I do.
