It's does not vac at all.  I am going to get a canister vac like my friends from Eurica, they worked great.  Uprights are always too loud and does not clean well.  My only good vac was the upright that's cordless.  It does not clean very well, but does the everyday job of picking up dirt.  My ex-wife got it and still using it.  I need to get one.  Wasted hundreds on Hoover and Dirt Devil's upright too.  Purchase 3 Hoover in my life time and are not happy.  3 strikes, your out Hoover.  I'll get a Eureka canister vac for sure.
