Title: Avoid this thing like the plague!
Product review: One the worst vacuums I've ever owned! The "self cleaning" HEPA filter doesn't clean itself and becomes so packed with dirt, hair, etc that it quits workings. When this area gets clogged, it will no longer pick-up. There is a set of plastics gears that control the filter and these become striped due to the build-up of dirt. I tried to repair mine, but after getting it apart, I just took it to recycling bin and went and bought a Bissell "healthy home series"; great so far. I had the Hover for about a year. I hope some lawyer files a class action lawsuit; the internet forums, websites, etc are full of stories just like mine. EVERYONE has the same issue and even when sent out for repair, they only last a short time before they fail again. Do not waste your time or money with this thing regardless of price!!
