This is a great vacuum. Powerful yet lightweight. Works on hard surface floors and carpets. Just what I needed for our small house. No hastle to get it out and put to work. The long chord is handy because you can cover so much area without having to use multiple plug ins.

And how! Almost hard to push across the carpet, it latches on so hard. Does an a amazing job. Light, quiet, maneuverable. Best vac I've ever had. Works just as good as previous expensive monsters I've owned, but nimble and easy to use. Love it.

I was one of those customers that originally gave a glowing review to the Hoover Flair. Big mistake! Within less than a year of purchasing it the little plastic wheels on the front of the unit failed. Unfortunately by the time I called hoover I was A FEW WEEKS PAST THE ONE YEAR WARRANTY. Not only would they not cover the problem but they would not even sell me the part. I had to go to a independant repair site to purchase the wheels, $11.50 with shipping. TEN MONTHS LATER AND THE WHEELS ARE SHOT AGAIN. Another call to Hoover and still no help. Their customer service representatives act totally robotic. I have a distinct impression mine is not the only complaint they are receiving. When I mentioned the recurring problem I was immediately transferred to a supervisor. I was told that the Hoover company was sold to Dirt Devil and that Dirt Devil will not issue any help with Hoover products issued before the sale. This does not bode well for Dirt Devils customer relations program. End of story, end of Hoover. Another company down the drain. Do not buy the Hoover Flair!!!

This thing is rip-roarin'. I have a little fishing shanty that this is just the right size for. It really does pick up everything (sand, fish hooks, etc.) on my ceramic tile and carpeted floors; it's light and stores easily.

This vacuum is great for wood floors! It's very nimble as the head of the vacuum is on a swivel - so it's great for getting under and around things. It's also very, very light. Works great on our area rugs and wood floors and seems to pick up all of our dog hair very well. We love this vacuum and think it's a steal!
