Hoover Platinum Cyclonic Canister Vacuum With Power Nozzle, Bagless, S3865
Product DescriptionA new standard of clean. The Hoover Platinum Collection Bagless Cyclonic Canister features a multi-stage Cyclonic filtration system and patented Windtunnel technology. A detachable telescopic wand and a variety of on-board tools make it the only vacuum you’ll need for floor-to-ceiling clean. Includes Hoover’s best six year limited warranty. Patented Windtunnel Technology features three distinct air tunnels to lift and remove dirt from carpet, preventing dirt from scattering back onto your clean floor. Multi-stage cyclonic filtration means that the air going thru the filter is cleaner than the air that was pulled into the vacuum so that the filter will stay clean longer, and the vacuum will have no loss of suction when cleaning*. * Per IEC60312 4th ED. Filter made with HEPA media. HEPA media traps 99. 97% of dirt, dust, and pollens down to 0. 3 microns, for cleaner air than standard or allergen media**. **Per ASTM F2608. Power button, suction control and brush-roll on/off switch located conveniently in handle. Easy foot petal control adjusts nozzle to accommodate different carpet heights and floor types. Swivel neck design nozzle allows for easy steering and the automatic cord rewind retracts quickly and easily at the push of a button.

I received the vac promptly and in good packaging from amazon. What I got was a heavy and, at first glance, a well built machine. However, when I tried to put it away after use I found that the cord return spring was faulty and didn’t work betond pulling the cord halfway back.
I contacted amazon and got a replacement within days which is the kind of service I’ve come to expect from amazon. The trouble was that the replacement had exactly the same problem! In fact this cord doesn’t return at all.
I’m avoiding Hoover from now on.

This unit is everything I expected. It is a bit awkward due to the weight and size, but the vacuum ability well makes up for the added effort. It takes a little more room for storage. The bagless feature is excellent and very easy to use.
Good job Hoover!
The unit was delivered as promised and the vendor worked well with me.

I have always been a canister vacuum person. Had Sears Kenmore previously which lasted me 17 years with only one repair. Thought I would try another brand thinking the technology may have come a long way. Did a lot of internet research and chose this Hoover. However, I am not overly impressed. Let’s start with the pros: it’s bagless… 6 yr. warranty… love the under furniture swivel action… not too noisy… telescoping handle comes in handy. The cons are: bulky to handle… not powerful enough… attachments don’t click into handle (including beater bar) so they keep disconnecting from handle while vacuuming… floor brush has no spot to be held on canister… retractable cord has to be fed back in, does not retract on it’s own… beater bar does not pick up everything on carpets even at the lowest setting. Having said all that, I think the negatives outweigh the positives. It does an OK job but not great. I’m disappointed.

I just received this last week and it is a great vacuum. Great suction, does a really good job on carpets and excellent on hardwood floors. It feels real solid.Pieces go together with a solid feel and it just feels like quality. And it is VERY quiet, cannot believe how quiet it is for something so powerful. And it is so easy to clean out the canister. It comes off easy, you hold it over the garbage and push a button and bottom opens and junk falls out…so easy. I have owned several through the years mostly uprights, but wanted something that is good and will last. So far so good. And it has a very cool look to it!!!

This vacuum is very portable, quiet, and efficient—IF it works. This expensive vacuum cleaner FAILED immediately. Bought in March and it failed within a few weeks. The hose loses its connection at the on/off wand-handle and constantly cuts off dead while in use. Have to wait a while before the vacuum will turn on again and when it is switched-on, after just a few vacuuming passes, it cuts off dead again. An extreme disappointment for the price.
