S2220 has a design problemWe bought a Hoover S2220 with power nozzle about a year ago, and it worked fine for awhile although it is VERY noisy. You really need to wear ear plugs when using it. It's easy to maneuver, not overly heavy, cleans hard surfaces well and does a reasonable job on carpet. However, it has a couple design problems. First, the latch for the dust chamber broke. Pretty flimsy design. But a big rubber band around the body of the vacuum will hold the dust chamber in place, so no big problem, just an annoyance. However just recently, the black swiveling tube connecting the body of the vacuum to the power nozzle broke off. This makes the vacuum completely useless. The part is replaceable, but Hoover does not make it available. Instead they will be happy to sell you a complete new power nozzle for about $32. Trouble is, the part which broke is badly designed. It is overstressed when the machine is stored upright on its nozzle and a new power nozzle (unless redesigned) will fail in the same manner. I recommend you not buy this unit.
Perfect Vacuum
I have had this vacuum for over 7 years. I use it every week to vacuum my bathroom floors, kitchen linoleum and small sections of carpeting. Not once has the unit overheated, lost suction or "just quit working" as so many reviewers have stated.
The drive belt broke after four years of uninterrupted service (and then only because the suction pulled in the corner of an area rug and jammed the mechanism, which caused the belt to snap.)
I ordered a belt online and replaced it myself. Whoever stated that the machine is not user-serviceable is wrong. I've never had any trouble emptying the dust cup, and there are filters on each side that prevent dust from reentering the room.
This is a great machine for picking up pet hair, lint and dust. I'm at the point where I have worn out my original and am replacing it. I am also ordering one for my brother and one for my mother as well. Great vacuum!
Doesnt hold up
I kept this vacuum in the upright postion most of the time. After many uses mainly on kitchen floor only the neck of the base area began to crack. After only 1 yr of use it broke off completely. I am not hard on my vacuums and have had the eureka smart boss for 4 years. I love that vacuum. Im going to try the eureka floor vac next for my kitchen. Do Not buy this item if you dont want to replace it year after year.
Hoover Stick Vacuum
I am so impressed with this little light weight vacuum. We have a up stairs with hardwood floors though out the house so I have throw rugs everywhere. After this little vacuum get done you would think that the rugs had been washed. Also it pickes up all the pet hair on the floors. Really a gem!!
NOT QUITE AS QUIET
This vacuum is not quite as quiet as some of the earlier reviews indicated, sadly. It would still scare the dickens out of the cat. My previous vacuum sounded like a jet plane taking off. However, this stick vac does pick up a lot of stuff. Shipping from Pennsylvania to Virginia was super quick!!! I would recommend the manufacturer be very very honest about the noise level this vacuum produces. It isn't as loud as a jet plane, maybe a little piper cub?
