stopped working after using 3 times:
i saw some bad reviews when i bought it, but i also saw so many good one so i decided to buy, the problem was after using it 3 times it didn't really work anymore, it doesnt clean anything, just terrible. dont buy it, really.

perfect for hardwoods and area rugs:
works great ,love it.plenty of power and not real loud.like the fact that the head angles to get under chairs and obstacles.

It broke after a couple of months:
It broke at the coupling between vacuum and the beater head. It worked ok before that - nice and light - but i had to clean out the filter about every 20 min with a shop vac because it plugged with dust and caused the motor to overheat. I want one with a bag and a little better built.

Hoover S2220 Flair Bagless Vacuum:
So far I really like this little vacuum. It's great for use on my kitchen and hallway floors and basement steps. I just use it for touch ups and in my kitchen instead of a broom. I love the suction! I have an area rug in the kitchen as well as linoleum floors. Emptying the bag is a bit messy, but it's not all that bad. I just put it down in the garbage can and clean it out. After reading the reviews I don't stand it alone because I don't want to take the chance that it will fall and break. I bought extra filters for the sides so I would have them on hand when needed. I don't use it for cleaning the whole house because that's not what it is made for. It's so nice to be able to store it with my broom and mop and to have it handy so I don't always have to lug out the big vacuum. I haven't had any problems with it over-heating and shutting off, and the cord is plenty long.

An excellent light duty vacuum:
We are glad we bought this. It cleans well, is easy to use and ideal for a quick clean-up, between more comprehensive cleans with our canister vacuum cleaner. The power brush is worth the extra. It is not cordless, but we think it is more powerful than a cordless vacuum could ever be.
