    Cheap and terrible. I thought I was saving money. However, this was a waste of money and time. Get yourself a Dyson and do not lose your time.

      Hello Mwarren,
      Thank you for your feedback on the Hoover PowerDrive Upright Vacuum. We would like to improve your experience with this unit and are here to help!

We also recommend checking the filter by removing it from your vacuum and tapping out any built up dirt/debris that could be resting on it. Rinse the filter with water until the water runs clear and allow a dry time of 24-36 hours. – OR – We recommend checking to see if your filter is clogged.

      Hello,

      Thank you for your review of Hoover - PowerDrive Upright Vacuum. We apologize that you are experiencing issues with this unit. If you have been experiencing periodic shut offs during use see the following: Your vacuum is designed with a Thermal Safety Protector that will automatically shut the vacuum off if it begins to overheat. This is likely the result of a clog and we recommend checking your system for any potential clogs that would cause it to overheat. For the best results, complete a full system maintenance check. If you are still experiencing shut off issues, please contact us directly at [email protected] with reference to your review number and model number. Thank you!

      Hi Krystal, we're sorry you had that experience with your first PowerDrive Pet Bagless Upright. When our vacuums overheat, technology inside the unit shuts it off to prevent damage. When it does power off, wait 30 minutes until you start cleaning again. If you’re still having issues, it may be time to rinse out your filter. Remember to only rinse it with water and let it dry for 24 hours. We hope this helps, but if you still run into issues please contact us at 1-800-321-1134. Thanks! Cierra Hoover

      Hi Brian, we're sorry to hear you had this experience! We always want to make sure you have a positive experience when it comes to using our cleaners. It could be time to rinse out your filter. Remember to only rinse it with water and let it dry for 24 hours. If that does not help, we ask you to make sure the dirt inlet tube is not clogged. If it is, remove the nozzle and then remove the clog. This should increase your suction! If you still run into issues, please call our customer service team at 1-800-944-9200. Thanks! Cierra Hoover
