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. A brilliant headlight illuminates the cleaning path to ensure thorough vacuuming. 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

 Vacuum April 30, 2008
The service was so fast & the vacuum is everything you said it was & more. It arrived in great shape. We are just so pleased with it.
 Way too heavy...attachment is awkward April 30, 2008
I purchased this on the strength of the other reviews here. I used it a few times, but it's about 3 times heavier than any vacuum I've had. It moves forward by itself, but it's very hard to pull back. I also don't like the way the cord is all wrapped around the attachements. The wand is a big pain in the neck as you have to take it apart again before using the vacuum on floors. My old vacuum had a spot for the fully elongated wand- this one doesn't.
I give it 3 stars because it has excellent suction and is a good buy for the $$ if you're a big fellow. It's not the vacuum for the 5'4" 125 lb woman. Gave it to my parents and am buying something else.
Sometimes Cheap Is Better April 29, 2008
I was in the market for new vacuum...it's impossible to get good reviews from users, since most everyone hates to vacuum. I went with this cheap model that had relatively good reviews from Amazon users. Works great...and at the price it becomes a throw away product if it breaks.
 great deal April 28, 2008
Great product. It obviously isn't a high-end vacuum, but it is an AMAZING deal for the money. Occasionally have to go back over a spot, but genreally does a great job and is way cheaper than anything else. Great option for college students or anyone on a limited budget!
the cat's meow! April 28, 2008
This vacuum is extraordinary! It's fabulously light and is a joy to use. It's self-propelled but doesn't rocket forward and slam into furniture the way heavier sweepers do.
We spent more than five times its price for our last two Hoovers and I like this one immensely better. I bought it because I wanted a lightweight upright with tremendous sucking power as well as easy-to-use tools. It's rated No. 7 overall in Consumer Reports but it's the No. 2 Quick Pick for lighter models.
My only complaint is that you have to stoop to grab the cord, a problem I quickly resolved by using one of those black tie thingies that come with electronics to twist-tie the cord to the upper cord-wrap hook.
This is our third Hoover in a row and my definite favorite. The first one was great but it bit the dust after just two years of use. The second one was bagless. Big mistake. Removing the bin was an exercise in frustration, not to mention a loathsome mess. The bagless sweeper was also very heavy and obnoxious to use. I hated it. I used it once and gave it to our daughter.
Unfortunately, according to CR, Hoover is the most repair-prone brand of vacuum in existence. However, at this price, if the Tempo Widepath doesn't last, I'll just junk it and buy another one! In fact, two days ago I ordered a second Widepath for our cabin at the lake.
You can't go wrong with this baby. It's a peach!
