Review on ๐ŸŽ’ Hoover C2401 Commercial Lightweight Backpack Vacuum Cleaner by Danny Poulin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Disappointment good for cleaning and sanitation

I was so excited to receive this product. We have a house with a lot of small rooms and I got tired of plugging my Dyson in different rooms multiple times or using a detachable wand with the huge block banging against furniture and walls and then dragging it up and down the stairs. . When Dyson gave up we bought this product. I was so excited I set it up and was able to get started as soon as it arrived. That was the first disappointment. The device does not offer any storage space. So if you're upstairs and realize you forgot your brush head, head downstairs. I ended up finding a bag to keep my accessories and I try to carry it with me (another thing to carry). Then I started vacuuming, we mostly have parquet floors. With the bristle attachment, the suction power was poor, dog and cat hair simply got caught in the bristles and scattered. So I tried a bristleless nozzle, the plastic is so hard I was afraid of scratching our freshly painted floors. To get the vacuum to work (despite the fact that my husband plays the Ghostbusters theme song every time I vacuum ;), I attached the felt side of the double-sided velcro to the ends of the plastic nozzle so it slides smoothly over it Wood. Then it's time to vacuum some carpets around the house - NO carpet attachments! argghh- I've used the same nozzle on carpets, it picks up heavier debris but doesn't pick up smaller particles (pet hair). Finally, when the collection bag is full, emptying it is a disgusting mess. If you want the filter bag to keep working, you literally have to take the entire bag outside to clean up the dusty mess and use your hands to get all the residue out of the bag. The device is actually still quite large, so while I like carrying it on my back, I still end up bumping into doors, walls, and furniture if I'm not careful. One thing I really like is that it has a very long cord (it's just an orange extension cord). I can reach every square inch of my 2400 square foot home with one strategically placed outlet. System so it just lays on the floor and gets tangled up, another task to untangle before I vacuum. Suggestion: Just add an extension cord to your current vacuum cleaner to get more. This product is a huge disappointment and a waste of money. Now a few months later I am planning to buy a Dyson stick.

Pros
  • Includes accessory kit with 6" crevice tool, 11" turbo floor tool, 2" dusting brush and 4" upholstery tool
