 Check out the Hoover SH40060 on Amazon. 

The SH40060 uses multiple cyclones to create suction.  This technology assures the suction will not fade as the dirt canister is filling.  The suction created by this unit is said by most owners to be quite strong and most comments related to this are positive.

It comes with HEPA filtration which helps remove allergens such as dust mites, pollen, ragweed, etc. from the air.  The filter is also washable which helps to save money over time.

Probably the biggest consumer “concern” related to the Hoover SH40060 is the short power cord.  The power cord is 17 feet long and compared to most other vacuums on the market this is indeed short.  Some folks have resorted to using an extension cord and feel that this is an effective and not too troublesome solution.

The brushroll on the nozzle can be turned on and off with the flick of a switch and the vacuum is thereby capable of vacuuming both carpet and bare floors.  The nozzle also has a swivel head which makes it more maneuverable.  The cleaning path width is 11 inches – this is good from the point of view of getting under, around and between different kinds of furniture but it can also be a slight drawback as each “stroke” of the nozzle across the floor doesn’t cover a particularly large area.

On-board tools include a dusting brush and an extension wand.  The vacuum also weighs a hefty 20 lbs (although this doesn’t appear to be much of an issue to most owners), comes in metallic blue and carries a 1 year warranty.

Thomas Dives  - brushroll siezes up   |50.92.184.xxx |2011-11-21 23:15:10 We have had the brushroll assembly sieze up two times in less than a year. It's like the plastic parts at the ends get hot and melt and fuse together. Haven't even been able to replace the 2nd one so far, they are out of stock. I'm guessing this is happening fairly often. What a pos design. Getting frustrated and thinking I just need to buy a new vac. And NEVER another Hoover. Reply

Rod R  - Brush Roll Siezing   |75.130.131.xxx |2012-02-06 18:30:23 Same problem as others have had. Its likely the general brush design was fine, but the parts on many of these brushes were not made to spec. The parts are NOT lining up correctly - so these parts are rubbing against each other when the brush spins - the unit was flat out built wrong. The rest of the vac is good - would be happy with it if the brush didn't have such a big flaw. Reply

Kay  - Brushroll Siezed and Snapped   |131.247.129.xxx |2012-05-09 20:16:59 After 3 uses by a mature adult in a small home in two small carpeted rooms, the brushroll got hot and seized. Took it to the not-so-local vacuum repair shop (22 miles away) only to have it work temporarily when the technician turned it on. Got it home, turned it on, roller snapped away from housing rendering the vacuum completely useless. What a disappointment. Reply
