Customer Ratings & Reviews

This vacuum offers lightweight portability and decent suction. However, I prefer onboard attachments like my old Wind Tunnel had. The separate cannister vac is nice and portable, but it lacks the suction of the full size machin.

I have had this vacuum since September 2009, and have been very happy with its performance. I have two large dogs, and the vacuum does an excellent job in picking up dog hair. The replacement bags are pricey, but they are a good size, so you don't have to replace them as frequently as other vacuum cleaners. The small cannister vacuum is really convenient for use on furniture and stairs, but the suction isn't that great. Overall, this is the best performing vacuum I have owned.

After months of researches, I decided to get this vacuum and I love it and really happy with the purchase! It is more powerful than I expected and it did clean the edges which I never thought a vacuum can do it. When I was doing the stairs, it was also very easy for me to carry and use it. The light is useful and the noise is not so loud.

This vacuum really works, so well the noise level doesn't matter. Added an extension cord in order to do the entire house. Now that I am able to find the replacement belts at Best Buy I am very pleased.

Excellent machines - both the upright and the hand device are excellent products that work well - you can certainly feel the quality when using them. We have had several vacuums over the last 15 years and the suction of of this upright is very good.

I previously bought a Bissel Pet vacuum, and it was horrid. I originally wanted this, but it cost more. After I returned the Bissel, I bought this one, and absolutely love it! I have Siberian Huskies, and they shed like crazy, but this vacuum picks up all the hair on the first swipe! It works fantastic. But it does use bags, and those can be a bit pricey, so shop around for them. Also, the "Bag Full" light goes on quite often, even if the bag is nowhere near full, but I just shake the bag a bit, and the light goes off. And since there is no attachment pieces, you have this little canister, which works well but the little bag fills up quickly, so it looses suction, but just empty it/put in a new bag. But even with those little things, this vacuum is FANTASTIC! Simply because it picks up everything so easily.

I like the buttons that light up and they are just at your finger-tips. The Vacuum is lightweight to move around and the power is great too. The vacuum is so lightweight and powerful that it almost wants to propel itself across the carpet. I also like that there is a collection of the platinum Vacuum products which I have 4.

For those of you who need a review to consider buying this, here it is: I have been using this vacuum for about a month now and absolutely love it. The suction is great.....no complaints there. Sorry I waited so long to buy it. I used to have a Dyson, but it was so heavy, and I always had to dump the canister which would cause the dust to go back into the air, and it would not reach under things due to its size. I use this vac almost everyday due to 3 cats and 1 dog, and am just amazed by how well it picks up all the hair. Sure, you have to buy bags, but at least you won't get all the dust flying around as you would with the bagless vacs. I got the canister vac with this, but really don't use it unless doing under cushions. I have had no problems with this vacuum picking up all the dirt, etc. along the bottom of the baseboads.....it gets it all.

Overall, this is a terrific vacuum. The person who will be happiest with this combination is the person who: (1) wants a lightweight vacuum, (2) has mostly carpet in their home, (3) has carpeted stairs, and (4) uses attachments.

We did quite a bit of research on HEPA vacuums before settling on this model. So far we LOVE this vacuum. You can easily spend $500 for a Oreck Vacuum that has these same features - but save your money, this Hoover is all you need. My son has a terrible dust mite allergy, we notice a difference already in his breathing due to b- weekly cleaning with our Hoover.

This vacuum was purchased to replace another Hoover vacuum that was falling apart due to poor construction. This is a vast improvement over that model. It was easy to assemble, is light weight and has great suction. However, it is VERY NOISY.

This is a very nice vacuum. If I had to do over again, I would make the same exact purchase. A vacuum is only as good as its design - so don't be fooled by what some might say - light wieght and fewer amps do no result in scrafice. This is vacuum delivers on its promises and I am 100% satisfied. I did a lot of research and compared many models including the higher end - $500 - $600 models. In the end, I based my purchase on my percieved view of quality (first hand comparisons) and what I read on review sites like Consumer Reports. There is a lot of great marketing of tunnel technologies, rolling balls and selling with British accents but I perfer to pay for actual performance.

Great vacuum at a great price. Used one and picked up pet hair better than old vaccume. Light and easy to move.

Upright vac is very lightweight !! Fits in all the corners nicely! Canister vac is awesome , just strap on your shoulder like a purse and vacuum your stairs with ease!!!!

I almost bought a "different" $1,200 vacuum but I am glad I did not! I brought this home and vacuumed right away. Then, I looked in the bag and can't believe what it all sucked up...dust, pet hair, sand...it was amazing. You can feel it working while you vacuum. The light in the front is nice. It handles extremely well. It looks nice and it does not cost $1,200! I did my homework and this was ranked at the top, now I can see why!

I hate bagless vacuums and I wanted to find a really great vacuum without spending too much but not spending too little either so I wouldn't get a junker, and I found it. This vacuum glides smoothly and easily fairly light to lift up and it's got plenty of power, it picks up dirt impressively. Very happy with my purchase and I enjoy the canister as well.

Had another brand upright as we have 60% carpeting, and always had a backache when done due to difficulty of turning, pulling and getting up and down stairs. With the Hoover Platinum, it is light weight, turns easily, and picks up dog hair well. Plus the canister is perfect for vacuuming stairs and my car. If you put the carrying strap over your head and shoulder it stays pretty well and is not heavy. My only complaint is that the extra long cord on the upright gets in the way.

Good vacuum for money. Very lightweight. It is kind of noisy, and could use a height adjustment setting.

I had gone through numerous bagless vacuums over there years and was sick of the filthy mess they created when emptying. They also had what seemed like 3-4 different HEPA filters that always got clogged. This bagged vacuum has been great. Very strong suction for such a light unit. I'm very pleased.

Looked around alot, tried the 12 lb Hoover vacuum, which did not work well on my carpets, so tried this instead. Not as light, but no bags. For the price, seems to be as good as a Dyson. Works well on all my carpets. The test is how well it lasts over time. My son is buying a T1 for his apt.
