Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hoover Flair Bagless Stick Vacuum, Bagless, S2200
Customer Review: Great vacuum with minor complaints
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this vacuum because I was tired of being pregnant and lugging my heavy Hoover upright around the house. The Flair does a great job on bare floors and a reasonable job on rugs (I don't have wall-to-wall carpet, so that is fine with me). It also does a great job picking up dog hair. Because it's so easy to maneuver, I vacuum almost daily, and it's amazing how much dirt it picks up. It's also much quieter than my regular vacuum. A few complaints: this model doesn't stand up by itself, so you have to lean it against something sturdy or leave it flat on the floor when it's not in use. I would upgrade to the next model because this is an annoying problem. The bagless filter needs to be emptied often, about 3 times before I finish the house. Like other bagless vacs, you need to be careful emptying the filter so that you don't disperse the dust back into your house. It would be nice if Hoover made a bagged version.Customer Review: HOOVER FLAIR CLEANER WITH POWER NOZZLE

This is by far the worst hoover cleaner I have ever owned and I have had many over a long time span. After ten minutes or so the broom motor heats up and you have to wait at least twenty minutes for it to cool down so you can start using it again. I have never had this happen with any other Hoover electric broom, so I called Hoover and they said that this model is only meant to be used 20 MINUTES PER WEEK and only for quick pickups. No where does their literature say this on the box or in the manual inside the box. This product is a completely useless item if you want to use it on a daily basis. I purchased it for bare floors, not carpet, yet it has a rolling brush for carpet use. The box says is provides "effective carpet and bare flooring cleaning, " but they don't tell you it can only be used for 20 minutes a week as I was told by their customer service rep. Poor product from a company I always trusted.Customer Review: Decent for the $40 but not great performance wise
Summary: 3 Stars
We bought this mainly because my main vacuum does not have the flexibility to fit under low height furniture such as beds, couches, and dressers. So that being said, this vacuum works great for that as it almost lays flat. The suction is only so so and I dump out and clean the filter after every use. The handle does not stand up and it was made to hang on a wall, which does not work for the storage configuration in my upstairs closets. The suction hole is also fairly small and because of its weak suction, renders much of the length of the vacuum head useless.
I had originally wanted to buy a cordless one but after reading reviews of how cordless vacuums generally have weaker suction thought this one, being corded, would have stronger suction power. It also works better on hardwood floors than even low carpet pile. So it is fine for the price of $40 but disappointing in its suction power.
Customer Review: PERFECT!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! I've been having this vacuum for awhile because well, I despise sweeping. I do not recommend this on carpet....but why would you seriously depend on a vacuum like this to clean carpet? I have wooden floors throughout most of my house and this vacuum picks up EVERYTHING including tiny pieces of glitter that happened to fall off of every christmas decoration imaginable. Also, it manages to get in tiny corners, under the couch, in between sofas, under coffee tables, etc all without having to move furniture around. It does this due to the way the vacuum allows you to turn the handle sideways and lay the vacuum almost directly flat and parallel to the floor. On a bad note, this also what causes it somewhat difficult to vacuum standing straight up b/c the handle tends to swerve and turn. So you must have a steady hand. All in all you will not be let down with this vacuum!Customer Review: awesome!

I had the Eureka Superbroom for years... and thought it was the best. Then it broke beyond repair. I have two little kids, not to mention two cats, and the hard floors needed to be vacuumed at LEAST once a day. I tried the Shark cordless and was very disappointed. I barely got the floors vacuumed before it started to die. And I could have PICKED the dirt off the carpet easier than it did. I looked at a lot of vacuums and reviews and decided this one fit my requirements.
AND BOY DOES IT!!!!!! Its great! It picks up SO much. I love the switch to go between bare floor/carpet. (Even the Eureka never did a good enough job.) The swivel head is awesome!
The only thing I don't like is emptying the cup. The cat hair sticks to the filter... but I figure that is what you deal with when you want bagless. Wish it had a brush to brush off the filter - that stored inside somewhere.
