 The whole purpose of a vacuum cleaner is to suck up dirt and dust.  For most vacuum cleaners, this job is going to be loud.  The Hoover U5269-900 EmPower Bagless Upright Vacuum is going to be different.  This vacuum gives you the option to turn down the noise of the vacuum.  But is it going to be worth it?

Hoover Empower Bagless Upright Vacuum Product Specifications:

• Type of Vacuum: Upright
• Power: 1440 Watts
• Filter: Teflon-coated HEPA filtration cartridge
• Cleaning Path: 15 inches wide
• Dust Collection: Transparent dirt cup
• Attachments: On-board stretch hose, hand held power tool, upholstery tool, crevice wand and extension wand
• Warranty: One year warranty

The whole point of a vacuum cleaner is going to be to suck up dirt and dust.  If a vacuum isn’t able to do this there is no point in getting it. The Hoover U5269-900 EmPower Bagless Upright Vacuum has 1440 watts of power, two different suction levels and five different settings for height so that you can adjust it for each individual surface that you need to clean.  Here is what one Amazon reviewer said about this machine’s ability to pick up pet fur, which is one of the most difficult things to vacuum up.

“This vac sucks up more cat hair than any vac I have ever used! I collected the equivalent of three cats when I did my whole house after I got this machine.”

Another thing you will like about this vacuum is the attachments.  For some vacuums, the attachments aren’t going to be easy to use.  With the EmPower, they are going to all be attached to the cleaner ready for whenever you want them.

Usually, with a vacuum that costs less than $100, you are going to find the attachments flimsy or the hose is going to be stiff. With the EmPower, you are going to find that they hose is flexible and easy to clean with.

Another great thing about this upright vacuum cleaner is that the HEPA filter has a Teflon coating on it.  This is going to catch nearly all of the dust, dirt and anything else in the carpet. However, the HEPA filter is going to be difficult  to clean and is going to need to be replaced often.

Here is what one Amazon reviewer said about cleaning the filter and the tank.  If you don’t want to clean your vacuum, you are probably going to want to think twice before buying the EmPower.

“I have to clean the tank outside because the dust is SO bad.  The little thing in the middle you have to take out to get to the filter makes you get your hands dirty and fingernails since stuff sticks to the screen. Then there’s the actual filter. It costs almost $30 and you have to replace it about once a month.”

Will The EmPower Give You The Power To Clean Your House?

For $100, the Hoover U5269-900 EmPower Bagless Upright Vacuum is a pretty good way to clean your house and try out a bagless vacuum cleaner.  You may have problems with the filter, but otherwise it is going to get your carpet and rugs clean.
