Advantages: Reasonably priced, easy to assemble and use. Top marks for Hoover Service Centre. Disadvantages: A bit fiddly to empty
...HooverDustManager Bagels System
I have revised only the last paragraph of this review. It isn't the best Hoover I have used, but better than I first thought. And top marks to Hoover for sending the replacement parts so quickly and for the nice polite lady I spoke to on the phone.
I wanted to buy a cheap and cheerful bagged upright vacuum cleaner. We went and looked in all the big stores and there really wasn’t much choice most now being bag-less.
Eventually in Co-op on special offer for £79 was a HooverDustManager. It wasn’t exactly what I had in mind but looked a good deal.

Advantages: Works for a while Disadvantages: Stops when the cyclonic filter fills up
...My DustManager Cyclonic worked for a while then unexpectedly stopped because it had overheated. You then have to wait for the machine to cool down. A few minutes later the machine overheated again.
The problem seems to lie with the cyclonic filter which in my case block long before the dust box fills up. So you have to stop regularly and clean the filter otherwise the machine just overheats and grinds to a halt.
Hoover ask you not to take the machine back to the retailer but to phone their helpline. Engineers are helpful but unable to make suitable modifications just recommending that you clean the cyclonic filter regularly.
Hoover are unable to offer either a refund or a permanent fix....

Advantages: Has powerful suction Disadvantages: Only works for minutes at a time
...We purchased the HooverDM 5525 2000w in October 05 having given away a Dyson to a friend who so was so pleased with it we could not ask for it back.
We have been stuck with this maching as it is not exactly faulty, just very unsatisfactory and poor design. Although we do not own a pet, the filters still clog up with dust very regularly and have to be emptied at least once during a cleaning session. The machine will cut out on a regular basis and has to be left for a period of time before it can be used again.
We would not recommend this machine to anyone and think it does Hoover's reputation no good at all being in it's range. Most people having had one of these machines would avoid buying another Hoover. I only wish I had read reviews before purchasing....

We have had this cleaner for 16 weeks and find that it is always blocking up round the filter in the collection box. We use the cleaner most days and have to remove the filter after each use otherwise the motor cuts out part way through cleaning.

After finally deciding to give up on our old bagged vacuum, we decided to move with the times and opt for a bagless version of a new upright cleaner. Having visited many online sites for a decent vacuum for a decent price, there was one feature on this... more
