Title: Sadly, the worst vacuum cleaner I have owned!
Product review: Based on a combination of our specific needs and a very positive Consumer Reports rating we purchased the Hoover Tempo. It was immediately evident that we had made a serious mistake. The vacuum cleaner blows air from each of it's sides at the bottom, which sends dust flying around the room. If we get anywhere near the fireplace, unless the vacuum cleaner is pointed directly toward it, this same blast of air sends ashes spiraling out of the fireplace and throughout the living room. This makes the vacuum cleaner useless, which is probably just as well as the noise level is so high and it is extremely difficult to push over our rugs. After about a dozen attempts to use it, the cleaner stopped picking up all together except through the hose attachments. I guess the bright side of this is that we no longer have a layer of ash on our rugs. Needless to say, we are off Hoover products now.
