Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hoover Flair Bagless Stick Vacuum, Bagless, S2200
Customer Review: Adequate replacement for the pricier model
Summary: 4 Stars
I loved my original Flair- it was the pricier model with dual speeds and a heavier vacuum head, however I was not thrilled when the part that connects the head to the stick simply crumbled into many tiny pieces after 18 months of use. I understand now that this is a known manufacturing defect. I decided that if it had to be replaced I would get the cheaper model and reduce my losses when it crumbles, too. Not quite as nice, but it does a good job for what I wanted it for, which is keeping the floor in the litter box room clean and keeping the tile floors in the rest of the house dust-free between moppings. This is lightweight, easy to maneuver and will drop down flat enough to fit under tables and cabinets. It gets all the little debris and dust up- that's all it's needed for and it does a good job.Customer Review: Not really all that easy to store...
Summary: 4 Stars
This was easy to put together, and works for what I needed. We have large stone tiles in our den/kitchen area and I wanted something quicker and easier than sweeping for cat litter and such. The swiveling head takes some getting used to, but seems to make it easier to get under kitchen cabinets up to the kick board. Also, picked up whole potato chips. I have only had it for 24 hours and used it once, so these are just my first impressions.
BUYER BEWARE: You have to hang this thing up for storage. There's really no other way to stow it in a closet. The head does not sit flat on the floor when you hold the body straight up, like a traditional vaccum. It is at about a 45 degree angle to the body. The head does, however, flop to hang straight down when you put the vaccum on a wall hook.
Customer Review: Great value
Summary: 4 Stars
First I want to thank all those who posted reviews on this vacuum as they are the reason I purchased it, and I have been well pleased with it. It vacuums better on carpet than I thought it would and it does a great job of picking up debris on my tile floors. I have had it for two years now and haven't had any problems with it. I use it about two times a week.
The only two cons I can come up with to this vacuum are, first, as stated in other reviews, it does overheat and shut down occassionally, and second, cleaning out the bagless compartment tends to be a little messy as the dust flies everywhere. To get around this flying dust business, I usually empty it directly into the outdoor trash can.
Overall, I recommend this product.
Customer Review: It's Not Powerful Enough
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this vacuum after reading the reviews, thinking that this would be the answer to my problems. My full-size vac broke down right after we moved to our new house, which is 80% tile floors. I was looking for a vac that would help me clean my floors before mopping, and that would also work on the 3 area rugs I'd bought. It worked great on the floors except I'd have to go over the same spot 2-4 times to pick up larger objects like Cheerios and dry cat food.
The problem was when I set it to carpet mode and tried to pick up the scattered kitty litter from the cat box. I'd have to vacuum over the same spot on the carpet 5-8 times before the litter would get picked up! Totally disappointing, so I am now shopping for another vacuum.
Customer Review: Great quick vacuum
Summary: 4 Stars
Great, easy to maneuver and light vacuum that I use to do quick crumb and hair pickups in the kitchen and throughout house on hardwood floors. I've even used on carpet and seems to pick up pretty well although I use my bigger vacuum for that more regularly. Cord length is good, at first I thought it was too short but now I think it's just right. I think if it were any longer, it would just get in the way of vacuuming. 2 drawbacks: very hot air comes out side exhaust vents, just make it hot for me and emptying the filter in the canister is messy and dust flies out. But, I do love it, very handy, better than my dustbuster which never had a strong battery. Great little guy for price.
