Summary: DO NOT BUY A HOOVER elite rewind
Comment: MY HOOVER BROKE DOWN AFTER 4 USES IN A 10X10 ROOM. AFTER DRIVING 200 MILES TO A REPAIR SHOP THAT HAD BEEN CLOSED, I CALLED AND WAS ON HOLD FOR AT LEAST 45 MINUTES TO BE TOLD THAT I WOULD STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR SHIPPING TO SEND IN MY VACUUM. I SHIPPED IT BACK TO THEM FOR AN ADDITIONAL $30.
AFTER 3 MORE WEEKS I STILL HADN'T RECEIVED MY NEW VACUUM, OR HAD ANY KIND OF FOLLOW UP CALL, SO I CALLED 3 TIMES, BEING ON HOLD FOREVER EACH TIME, UNTIL I COULD FINALLY GET A HOLD OF THE PERSON THAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO TALK TO. ALL THEY HAD TO SAY WAS, WELL WE NEVER GOT IT (THEY NEVER SAID WE HAD TO GET A TRACKING NUMBER)AND SINCE YOU CAN'T PROVE YOU SENT IT THEN WE AREN'T GOING TO SEND YOU A NEW VACUUM. EVERYONE GIVES YOU THE RUN AROUND AND NO ONE WILL EVER RETURN YOUR CALLS WHEN YOU LEAVE A MESSAGE FOR THEM.
DO NOT BUY A HOOVER UNLESS YOU WANT IT TO BREAK DOWN AND GET THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE IN THE WORLD. THEY WILL SCREW YOU OUT OF YOUR MONEY/VACUUM AND YOU WILL NEVER GET THE VACUUM FIXED OR REPAIRED. THIS IS THE WORST COMPANY IN THE WORLD WHEN IT COMES TO CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY WILL SCREW YOU ANY WAY THEY CAN.

Summary: Stopped Working
Comment: I wonder if the same people who gave this vacumn high ratings would give the same rating after six months. Mine worked well for about six months and stopped working this past weekend. I had it cleaned out thoroughly and replaced the belt, but the power would not come on. My first thought was that the built-in Thermal Protector shut it down because of overheating. It should then reset itself after 30 minutes. Well...it's been two days....
I would think that you would want your vacumn works longer than six months. If so, please consider another product that is not made by Hoover. Good Luck if you decided to give this a try because of other reviews.

Summary: Sexy, sports car red! It works for Ferrari, why not you?
Comment: RED! Shiny! Metallic!
Breathe, now, Kyle, it's just a vacuum.
Really, we just wanted something that worked.
After a scathing review against the "Bissell Pet Hair Eraser," (which we determined was a relatively worthless vacuum) we thought it best to at least make a positive stand to the one that won.
Yep, while the Pet Hair Eraser dazzled us with plastic crap, cute stories and useless suction, we weren't going to be snooty and shell out $500 clams for a Dyson, which in and of itself, gets mediocre reviews.
I had liked the Hoover Elite Auto-Rewind Bagless since I thought I was going to get killer sound from hooking up my MP3 player. You know, out of those speakers on the side. I thought rockin' the cleaning routine was a bonus.
Sadly, those two odd circular features on either side are a lifetime HEPA filter, and a cord rewinder.
Cord rewinder?! Hold the phone. You mean I don't have to do the lasso-over-the-plastic-hook anymore? Nifty. Better than speakers!
Pros:
-----
* Lightweight
* Smaller "footprint," (great for storage)
* Great container capacity for filth
* Great agitator, good suction.
* Good filtration system (so far...)
* Solid canister design; seals well.
* CORD RETRACTION! *cheers* No really, it works.
* Nice accessories, brush removable on one of them.
* Easy to push around on variable surfaces.
* Height-adjustment seems to work.
* Plastic framework solid.
* Very easy to assemble.
* Sexiest red vacuum paint job ever devised.
Cons:
-----
* Skeptical about the "lifetime" HEPA filtration.
* Accessory hose narrower than competitors.
* Has no cute pet stories.
* Light is practically useless.
* Not available in shock blue, pink, green or yellow, because come on, that red is sexy.
So far the performance, promises, functionality, design, ease of use, all that jazz, is up to par. I mean, in a world of terrible vacuums at ALL price points, it's just up to us, the meek consumers, to test them out and rave and/or rant about them. This one passes for price, productivity and color pleasing. At least for me.
This one shouldn't disappoint you, so if my words mean anything, and you're the hesitant type, just get it. As of this writing, it's one of the better cheaper bagless vacuums out there.

Summary: not a good choice for pet owners
Comment: I bought this one year ago and it seems to have been nothing but trouble. Broken belt, blocked hose, now not working at all. This would probably be okay for light duty, but it is not a good choice if you own a long haired dog/cat as the hair fills the bag quickly, blocks the hose etc.

Summary: This Vacuum SUCKS! See ya later Dyson!
Comment: I just moved into an apartment and have been vacuum shopping for about 2 weeks. I borrowed a Dyson DC07 from friends and used that to clean the apartment when I first moved in. I finally decided on the Hoover Elite Rewind after reading the reviews and looking at several vacuums at local stores. I didn't purchase it at Amazon, I found it on sale elsewhere.
I vacuumed a room with the Dyson yesterday and it picked up some dirt. I received the Hoover Elite today and just put it together and decided to try it out in the room I vacuumed yesterday. This vacuum sucks, in a good way. I was amazed at the amount of dirt it picked up that the Dyson missed. I guess the ads for the Dyson are wrong. It picked up so much dirt that it was like I never vacuumed the room and then dumped dirt on the carpet. I only vacuumed a 10x4 foot part of the room and it picked up at least 2 cups of dirt. I was truly impressed...
I only gave this vacuum 4 out of 5 stars since there is no way to turn off the beater when doing hard floors or using the wand. Also when you get close to a transition from carpet to hard floors, it spits dirt onto the floor. So you'll have to vacuum those floors as well...
