We have a small apartment with hard surfaces (no rug, no carpet). This little hoover does the jobs and is not too bad to remove the cat hairs on our sofa. The metal tube does fall off from the plastic one from time to time, though.
By Aotearoa (New York)
you get what you pay for. Almost every part of this poorly designed vac cleaner has a fault. so let's start:
1) carpet/ floor nozzle doesn't stay in "brush setting" for hardwood floor
2) nozzle falls off
3) Connecting hose falls off the metal wand all the time and hits your toes/foot - ouch!!
4) cheap plastic hose twists and kinks off, resulting in loss of suction
5) the plastic body housing the vac mechanism constantly goes belly up everytime you manouvre it
6) cord got tangled inside housing after 8 months, I had to take the orange cover apart to fix it (harder than it sounds)
7) useless accessory brush - too small a footprint to do anything useful with it
8) poor suction even when it's turned up to MAX
9) holder for the wand broke off after 3 months, cheap plastic thing that's obviously not strong enough to withstand the torque of a long wand resting on it
10) So loud when it's going you better wear an earmuff if you don't want to go deaf prematurely
DO NOT waste your hard earned 60 bucks on this piece of crap!

So I have this vac and while it worked OK for a short period of time, the cord recoil mechanism eventually got stuck or something, reneding the vac almost useless. Since I have a yard sale coming up, I figured I'd spend 30 minutes trying to figure out how to repair the unit. Opening the vac is a big pain, but I've put the steps below:
1. If you open the section that holds the bag, you'll notice there are 4 screws (phillips head). You need to remove these 4 screws using a long handle screw driver, magnetic tipped would be nice.
2. There is 1 more screw holding the orange part onto the gray part. To get to this screw, you need to pull out the cord retract button (located on top of the unit). Be careful not to break this piece, you'll need it later. There is a big spring under the button, keep tabs on that as well. Now, there is a screw in one of the holes under this button. Use your phillips head screwdriver to remove this screw (again, magnetic tip would be nice).
3. Carefully remove the orange top, but be aware if will still be connected to the motor . Now, you can unravel the coil mechanism. There are two white wires that connect to the cord mechanism. If they are not reconnected, the unit will not start. Make sure these are connected, be careful because they don't have a lot of slack.
4. Replace orange cover, replace your coil rewind button / spring and put 4 screws in the collection area and start suckin'.
Hope this helps someone, I know it took me a while and a lot of searching to find an answer.

This is a good little vacuum and I can't complain about the price. It's light but powerful. One problem...the metal wand constantly detaches from the plastic wand it attaches to. It's dropped on my foot a couple of times which really HURTS. No matter how tight I insert it, it eventually detaches. I hope someone from Hoover reads this and that they do something about it.

I bought this cute little vacuum, and after absolutely hating it for nearly one year, I have junked it. First of all, it is very loud. Second, wildly flimsy. Beyond that all the tools fall off while you use it! Even the main floor attachment. To make this more aggravating, the actual hoses (the metal ones) fall off each other! It also has a flip brush option for carpet/hardwood. When you flip it into position, it just flips right back when you begin your task!
If I hadn't immediately thrown away all the packaging, I would have returned it.
Please dont waste your money on this piece of crap. I am sooooo surprised that hoover actually has not pulled it! I would never buy any hoover again.
