Q: Will it work on wooden floors?

A: My house is mostly wood floors and it does a great job on them. What carpet I do have is real short and it does okay on that. I bought it mainly for the wood. Switching is easy.

Q: Does it have stairs attachments ?

A: It's got a little hand-held beater-bar attachment, but it's not great. There's another little tool it comes with that would probably work better, but I just pick the whole vacuum up and move it stair to stair. Seems to work well, but the thing is kind of heavy.

Q: Is the belt easy to change?

A: Haven't had to change it..the only thing it needs is a cleaning of filter with the soap and water.very happy with purchase. I also own a Kirby and dyson.so I'd say this comes as close to those a possible for less than half the cost

Q: empying dirt cup how

A: The "dirt cup" is the entire clear plastic collection assembly on the vacuum cleaner. As per packaged instructions, you press the top dirt cup release button, pivot the cup, and lift the entire assembly out. Then, when holding the cup closely over a trash receptacle, open the bottom of the dirt cup by pushing the lower dirt cup door release lever. After emptying it, close the dirt cup door by pressing it firmly to secure at the front where the lever is. Then place the closed bottom of the dirt cup into the vacuum body first. Pivot the dirt cup and press frimly until it locks into place. Note: I have to run a paper-cloth- covered ruler up into and around in the collection assembly to get out all of the pet dander and hair since it won't fall out on its own. If your latching mechanism(s) is\are broken, you will have to arrange for repairs.

Q: How long did your vacuum last?

A: We have now owned 2 in 1.5 years - both times the handle broke.

Q: Rotating brush

A: Hi dh, The brushroll does not shut off with this model. We have the WindTunnel 3 Pro Pet, which has the cord rewind feature and the brushroll shut off. Check it out here: http://bit.ly/1I2hL6C. Hope this helps! -- John, Hoover Customer Care

Q: I see you previously answered question that the Hoover UH70817 will pick up cat litter, but I'm concerned bcs it appears that vacuuming cat litter may have "killed" my last 2 vacuums. Won't it harm the machine?

A: Hi CarolineAngel! Cat litter shouldn't harm the machine. However, your Hoover will require more maintenance to keep it operating properly. We recommend rinsing the primary foam filter every 2-4 uses and replacing the filters every 3-6 months depending on usage. If you have any further questions, please reach out to us via Facebook, tweet us @HooverUSA, or give us a call at 1-800-944-9200. Thanks! ~Kenya, Hoover Customer Care

Q: Does it glide on thick carpet? Or is it hard to push?

A: If using at lowest setting it is a little difficult to push but rising to higher level it works well and has good suction..
