Title: Started off well... then nosedived.
Product review: This worked very well for the first 6 months, since we were in a small apartment with very little carpeting (and we relied on a swiffer for the tile). Started to get a little less effective at about the one year point, but not too bad. Now we're at the 18 month point, and it has to go. We've tried everything... and yes, we've replaced and cleaned around the bag... but this Hoover just keeps dropping dirt. Instead of sucking it up, it combines the dust and dirt into clumps that are randomly shot around your floor.Initially we were really excited because of how well this was rated, and how it performed in consumer magazines. But it sounds like Hoover kept the model number while diminishing the production quality -- and as soon as "it's a shiny new vacuum!" effect wore off, we realized that the Tempo Widepath was not worth our time.
