Control animal hair with this Hoover PowerDrive pet vacuum. It removes fur and dander from upholstery, bedding and curtains thanks to the multipurpose attachable tools, and its spinning brush roll dislodges rug and carpet debris. This upright Hoover PowerDrive pet vacuum has swivel steering, so you can easily reach under and around furniture.
A: I LOVE THIS MACHINE. But I would not say that it is light weight. And it is NOT self propelled. There is much weight on the handle portion. This works well for the swivel feature but adds to the weight on the shoulders. Hope that helps

Q: How do you keep it from clogging with pet hair and on the rollers
A: Hey Diann, Thank you for your question! Pet hair is always a troublesome cleaning challenge. One way to reduce clogs is to groom your pets regularly to reduce the amount of hair shed by them. Then after grooming use the hose to suck up the hair. This will reduce the volume of hair and the load on the vacuum and consequently reduce the chances of clogging. If you feel your vacuum is clogging quickly or easily, you may need to clean your filter. The vacuum filter should be cleaned regularly, and when dirty it can be the cause of a loss of suction which leads to more clogs. Then, ensure the hose, brushes, and nozzle are free of any debris that may be caught at the joints and inlets. Lastly, I'd recommend completing a full system maintenance check (refer to your user manual) to ensure your vacuum operates like new. Thanks, Joseph - The Hoover Team
Q: How does this compare to a eureka vacuum. We have one that worked great until it wore out.
A: I find this to be much quieter which is nicer in general. Personally I think it picks up more than the Eureka.
Q: How many filters does this vacuum have? What does the manufacturers warranty cover?
A: You can access the warranty on Hoover.com if you would like to read it. It is a 2 year limited warranty covered by Hoover. To find it, go to Hoover.com and search for your vacuum, then scroll down on the page to the "Specifications" section. There will be a pdf version of the manual and the warranty can be found there. Thanks, Joseph - The Hoover Team
Q: Is this vacuum self propelled ?
A: No, the PowerDrive vacuum is not self propelled. Hoover only has a few self propelled models and they all have "self propelled" or "Self-Propelled" in their name. If available, you can find them at Hoover.com or at BestBuy if they still have it in stock. Thanks, Joseph - the Hoover Team
