This review is from: Hoover Platinum Lightweight Upright Vacuum with Canister, Bagged, UH30010COM (Kitchen)
After reading a bucketful of reviews here, I was convinced I had found the Mother of all vacuums, the Holy Grail of clean carpets. I've always been pleased with the Eureka Boss, but lately it'd been going through belts like a football team goes through Gatorade on a hot day. The reviews on Amazon and the high rating by Consumer Reports sold me. I ordered the Hoover Platinum vacuum sight unseen and looked forward to putting it through its paces, hoping it would be as good as advertised, and wondering if I'd like using the separate canister unit
Ergonomics and handling - Out of the box one is impressed by the lightness of the upright vacuum. However the dust bag is so large that I'm sure the weight is sure to increase as the bag fills. The vacuum maneuvers easily on its soft rubber wheels and its bumpers will protect your furniture. The headlight is the best I've ever seen on a vacuum; it's very bright and perfectly positioned to be effective.
I like the on-off button by the handle and the speed switch just below it. The handle foot release works smoothly.
Pickup- Performance is excellent, and I can understand why the cleaning component of this vacuum was rated highly by Consumer Reports. Some reviewers have said that the Hoover Platinum makes their rugs look brand new. That's excessive hyperbole, but our carpets do look better after a drive over with this vacuum cleaner.
Noise - This is a vacuum cleaner so it isn't quiet. It is noticeably quieter than my Eureka Boss though.
The canister, on the other hand, is supersonic loud, so much so that I've taken to wearing earplugs when using it. The high pitch of the motor may make the noise seem worse than it actually is.
Stairs - You can vacuum stairs with the upright and it does and excellent job on them. Luckily the vacuum is light and has a handy stair handle, but the task can become awkward and the vacuum cumbersome. I prefer doing stairs with the hose end of a canister.
Additional thoughts and quibbles -
Amazingly the vacuum was delivered in less than 48 hours after placing the order. Great joy, Amazon.
No extra bags are in the box, but each vacuum comes with a bag installed. I bought bags when I ordered the vacuum so I'd have them.
The dust brush looks cheap and has stiff bristles only on its perimeter. I use a brush from the retired Eureka instead.
The supplementary canister has aesthetic good looks and does an adequate job. I wish there was a power level adjustment on it and the noise wasn't so overwhelming.
On the upright, the handle leans all the way back so one can easily vacuum under furniture. I'd prefer it stop halfway and require a foot release to go back all the way. Sometimes the vacuum will not roll onto our scatter rugs and I can't just lean the vacuum back to hop onto the smaller rug. I either lift the vacuum off the floor or raise the handle all the way up so I can lean it back to get over the edge of the scatter rugs.
Hoover backs this product with a six year "limited" warranty. I especially like that the upright has a lifetime belt. Yet in the troubleshooting section one of the possible reasons for the vacuum not picking up is that the Poly-V belt is worn. The solution is to take the vacuum to a service center.
The Hoover Platinum upright is not the perfect vacuum, but it is good and it is light. It's a solid four stars.
Update August 8, 2010 After Mrs. Spudman grooms one of the dogs, it's always a chore to get the dog hair up from the carpet. The Hoover got it all up effortlessly, quickly, and impressively.
