Review title: Dead at age one and a half
Product review: I was so happy with this product until last week. The suction power is awesome, the dirt tank is a little small, but over all, I was quite content. In fact I was just about to review this vacuum and rate it 5 stars until the controls quit working. I bought this vacuum in March of 2010. 200 and some dollars and it lasted 18 months. I looked into fixing it but the entire hose piece would need to be replaced to the tune of 130.00! The vacuum repair person I spoke with said that Hoover USED to be a good brand of vacuum until they were bought/merged with Dirt Devil and now these vacuums are made in Mexico and the quality has plummeted. Save your money and invest in a better brand. This unit is just a jilting lover.
