The on-off switch did not work properly because its internal workings are plastic and do not fit perfectly. If the handle is not tightly connected to the body, the switch does not work. I took this to a dealer repair shop where it would work there but as soon as I brought it home it stopped after a few times. The propeller switch broke. Finally the the beater brush switch stopped working. The reliability and workmanship is terrible. I have had it for about a year and got it as a gift.

I owned the same Hoover vacuum for more than 20 years when I decided to retire it and purchase another Hoover . What a mistake!!! This vacuum has to be the worst piece of garbage I've ever owned. After just a month of use the problems began. I only have 3 rooms to vacuum. I vacuum them once a week. This thing has excellent/outstanding suction. It's automatic rotating brushes and power drive just can't perform well enough to handle the suction. So, this thing grabs the carpet and the brushes stop spinning and it starts squealing and smelling of burnt rubber, while you try to yank it loose. We have 90 ounce carpet in 2 rooms and 50 ounce in the other. It does the same grabbing, squealing and smelling to both carpets. It doesn't do any good to raise or lower the carpet height adjustment to alleviate the problem. The brushes are supposed to spin along with the suction, but just lift up on the handle 1" and they stop spinning and nothing gets picked up. I put up with the poor performance, the squealing, the smelly burnt rubber and the frustration for 6 months. Finally, I called the nearest Hoover repair and they said it was the power drive. So, I took it in and waited 3 months for it to be repaired. Now, it's almost a year and the warranty is just about up and I finally get it back. It worked fairly well for that last month of the warranty. And, you guessed it, it's back to the same burning rubber, squealing and the brushes doing nothing. I'm really glad I kept my 20+ year old Hoover because this garbage heap is heavy, noisy, smelly and a REAL pain in the back! I could get the carpets cleaner with a $20 Hokie!

I am so irritated with this vacuum. It only worked well the first time I used it. After that it was one problem after another. Every part on this vacuum has broken, and now it wont work at all and its only a year old. I am so mad after researching and spending the money, now I have to find another vacuum. Whatever you do DON'T BUY THIS ONE!!!

I have had 2 of these machines in the last 2 years. The first one lasted about 18 months and then the plastic handle latch lug that holds the handle upright broke and the self propelled feature stopped functioning. The latch could not be repaired without replacing the entire top cover, and I do not know what would be entailed in fixing the propelling system. Anyway I went out and got another one on sale. That one lasted 7 weeks when the brush roller became impossible to engage, and the rug/floor & height adjusters also stopped working. I think more plastic parts on the top housing were to blame. They were OK while they functioned correctly, but the durability is the worst that I have ever seen recently, except for model airplanes from China. However the planes are cheap with cheap components, while the Hoovers suffer from bad design flaws. Not really inexpensive either, unless compared to Kirbys and Dysons and other similar products that to me seem overpriced
So what did I do? I went out and bought a new Eureka Capture+. the differences are relatively minor except the Eureka has a cute "duster" acessory, is bagless and runs more quietly. It also seems to work better on bare floors, which is about 40% of my 2100 sq. ft.
Why did I choose Eureka? Because the premier consumer magazine rated them as the most reliable/least repaired of all the brands that were evaluated, except for one of the "overpriced" two already mentioned. For you Dyson die-hards: No it is not your favorite, and my daughter's Dyson has had reliability problems too. Too much cheap plastic!
I'll see how I feel about it in 5 years (I hope). Five days is not long enough for a fair evaluation.
I have owned 3 Hoovers. 1 Sanyo, 2 Sharps, 1 Oreck over the last twenty years, and I did have a Kirby that I bought in 1970 that lasted over 10 years before that. I would pay twice as much for a Kirby (I am in a one story house) but not five to ten times as much as for an adequate vacuum.

The belt comes off all the time. Sometimes I can use it for a few minutes, but most of the time, I can't even engage the brushes before it comes off. Sometimes it will rip the belt in the process. I'm on my third belt, and I don't use it very often.
We went with this vacuum over a Dyson, because although we needed something really good, we didn't want to pay $600 for it. Big mistake. It doesn't even pick up hair as well as my old $100 vacuum cleaner.
Stay away from this model. Just to be safe, stay away from Hoover altogether. The fact that this item made it through their quality assurance tests really says something about the company.
