Product Description
Hoover Widepath bagged upright vacuum with powerful 12 Amp motor and on board tools for complete cleaning.Amazon.com Review
The Tempo WidePath features a 15-inch cleaning path for super fast vacuuming when you need it the most. Plus, the WidePath cleans indoor air while you vacuum, thanks to an innovative allergen filtration system that traps 100 percent of dust mites, 99.98 percent of ragweed, and common grass pollens for cleaner breathing and fresher air. A powerful, 12 amp motor provides ample suction and doesn’t leave anything behind. Onboard tool storage keeps attachments, such as a dusting brush, furniture nozzle, crevice tool, and two extension wands in close reach. A smaller profile (approximately 33-1/4 by 18-1/2 by 9-1/2 inches) and lighter overall weight makes the Tempo WidePath easy to push, and easier to maneuver around and under furniture, too. And, your purchase is covered by a Hoover one-year warranty. Get a Tempo WidePath, and never get behind on the housework again! –Brian Olson

I thought our cleaning lady should be very happy, but she was ho-hum about the whole thing. It’s lighter than the old Panasonic, but cleans about the same and she is a very strong lady.
I’m satisfied and the price was great. I’ll never again buy one of those $200+ monsters. I’m getting pretty tired of carpets, too, and replace carpets with tile and wood whenever I can.

I recently purchased this vacuum cleaner. I paid $50+ for it and the shipping was $49. First of all, I didn’t realize the shipping would cost as much as the item I purchased. The first time I tried this vacuum cleaner it didn’t work. It wouldn’t pick up anything. There was just no suction at all. I haven’t sent it back because of the high cost of the shipping. If I sent it back I would end up paying $100 for nothing (shipping). I would tell everyone to never buy this awful product! Better yet, never buy a vacuum cleaner from the internet! IT’S A BIG RIP OFF!

I ordered this from Amazon after reading rave reviews and Consumer Reports recommendation. I unpacked it, and I had a scratched, used vacuum in the box! Wonderful, I thought, and plugged it in and tried to use it, only to find that not only was it scratched and used, but also broken! Am I the only one who got this lucky? I am pissed and contacted Amazon. They are sending a new one (I use “new” loosely until I see it) right away and send a pre-paid return label to me, but WTF? I am fit to be tied, ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you!

The hose is too short & the attachments are just straight, so you can’t hardly maneuver into nooks and crannys.
It’s bulky & big, & not of the quality I would expect for the price.

I purchased this vacuum in February 2009. The belt broke on its third use. Replaced that. It has always seemed to spit out dirt. While vacuuming today, the cord somehow came in contact with the roller bar, and the brush roller stripped the insulation off, leaving the electrical wiring inside the cord exposed. Luckily, I unplugged the vacuum before examining the problem. If I had just touched the wires, I could have been electrocuted. This is a huge design flaw. The vacuum is going into the trash and the pictures are going to the Consumer Produce Safety Commission.
