Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hoover Flair Bagless Stick Vacuum, Bagless, S2200
Customer Review: Great little vac
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the second Flair purchased from Amazon. The first lasted three years (it still runs but the wheels fell off!).
It had a tendency to go through belts if you jammed the power brush with things like rug fringe and cords etc. If you hear
it squeal turn it off quickly and remove the jam!
We ordered spare belts from Hoover online.
It is our primary vacuum. We live on the beach year round and the little vac gets quite a workout all summer. We use it daily
for sand etc. There are minor issues ie the belt and the filter could be more robust, but for $40 you can't go wrong.
Note: we have area rugs on hardwood. The power brush must be run most of the time or it will pack up with dust and dirt.
In three years the motor filters never needed cleaning or changing. We did purchase a spare main filter, again from Hoover online.
Customer Review: It cleans well, but...

As all Hoovers are, this one is loud. I think Hoover believes that if it doesn't make a lot of noise then it won't be perceived as as having good suction power. The noise is tolerable since it does have good suction for a modestly-priced stick vacuum. It also picks up dust and dirt next to baseboards and up close around the legs of furniture, which is nice. But there are two problems which keep me from recommending this vacuum: 1) It is very top heavy. The motor is up high and it will wear you out in a very short amount of time because you are lifting it every time you push the vacuum back and forth. 2) It is floppy. The swivel head is great while you are vacuuming, but it will not support the vacuum when you are trying to store it. It will not lean up against the wall on its own. You must hang it on a hook, which is not convenient for me.Customer Review: Decent for light use

I bought this vacuum along with another regular vacuum (eureka 480?) at the same time from amazon. The quality is not too good, but decent, but what do you expect for such a cheap cost. I paid $25 by using the gold box. It works pretty good for light use like picking up small dirt, dust, and hair from the hardwood. It works on carpet too, but since there is no real aggitator, it only does an OK job. Just surface debris. The bag system is a pretty big pain in the ***. You have to use your fingers to pull out disgusting dirt stuck to the filter. It is pretty light and glides through the floor very easily with it's rollers. This vacuum is good for when you have hardwood floors and you don't want to use the big heavy vacuum all the time. I would reccommend it to people as a secondary vacuum. Most I would pay is $30-35 for it.Customer Review: Not bad for the price

I first saw this product in a retail store where they had only the floor model and none new and boxed. I asked the salesman about it and he said he was not aware they had sold out and that he would take the floor model off display until they restocked. In taking it off the display, he leaned it against a wall and it slid down and instantly the neck attaching the beater bar to the unit cracked irreparably -- a problem a number of other users here have noted. I purchased the unit online anyway, keeping this fact in mind, and have been ultra-careful with it and have had no problems. The duct-tape reinforcement idea another user suggests sounds good, if unsightly, and I believe I will try doing that as a preventive measure. If Hoover can de-bug this one problem, this would be the ideal mid-sized vacuum. Work on it, Hoover!Customer Review: Excellent little product!

After much research, I am now the proud owner of the
Hoover Flair stick vacuum/electric broom. I just used it and all I can say is WOW! I honestly wasn't going to use it today because Iswiffered yesterday and didn't really think I'd pick up much. Boy, was I wrong! After a once through on my hardwoods and area rugs, the canister was over half full of my Golden Retrievers hair!
I chose this broom vac for the price and features. It has the swivel head, which is really nice. It
also has a switch for changing from a hard floor surface to carpet.
I wanted that so it could do my two area rugs as well as my hardwood floors. I wouldn't
use this as my main vacuum by any means, but for what I'm going to use it for I think it will be perfect! Hopefully it will hold up nicely!
