The Tempo WidePath features a 15-inch cleaning path for super fast vacuuming when you need it the most. Plus, the WidePath cleans indoor air while you vacuum, thanks to an innovative allergen filtration system that traps 100 percent of dust mites, 99.98 percent of ragweed, and common grass pollens for cleaner breathing and fresher air. A powerful, 12 amp motor provides ample suction and doesn't leave anything behind. A brilliant headlight illuminates the cleaning path to ensure thorough vacuuming. Onboard tool storage keeps attachments, such as a dusting brush, furniture nozzle, crevice tool, and two extension wands in close reach. A smaller profile (approximately 33-1/4 by 18-1/2 by 9-1/2 inches) and lighter overall weight makes the Tempo WidePath easy to push, and easier to maneuver around and under furniture, too. And, your purchase is covered by a Hoover one-year warranty. Get a Tempo WidePath, and never get behind on the housework again! i--Brian Olson/i

 Doesn't Pick Up Dirt That Well November 27, 2008
Jay
I purchased this vacuum cleaner to replace a Hoover Sprint Vacuum I used for 6 years. The Tempo Widepath does a poor job of picking up any dirt particles. I actually did a test between the Hoover Sprint and the Hoover Tempo Widepath. The Sprint picks up everything but the Tempo Widepath leaves the dirt on the carpet. They don't make things like they used to.
A little better engineering, please November 26, 2008
D. Crane (Houston, TX USA)
The vacuum appears to work well, but my initial impression was that the vacuum and the package it came in were hastily engineered. br / br /The box arrived with a lot of things rattling around inside - like two bolts and one nut that were supposed to be in a small plastic bag taped to the bag door. The bag wasn't torn, so maybe the packer just threw them in the box. One of the nuts escaped in transit, the other was hiding under a flap in the bottom of the box. br / br /Cord storage is poorly thought out. Very cumbersome and the clip on the plug is too small to fit over the electric cord. The manual talks about a feature called DirtFINDER which doesn't exist. My guess is that later versions of this model removed it to save a few pennies. Likely the cord was replaced with a thicker one and nobody re-engineered the plug clip. br / br /As others have noted, the on/off switch is well out of reach down on the bag door. This was probably a compromise that allowed the handle to be detached for shipping, but a better solution would have been a foot switch. br / br /But it works and has a bag. I've discarded two Kenmore bagless because they clogged up with dirt somewhere down in the motor housing and lost suction. The first one lasted a few months until Christmas tree needles destroyed it. The second one (a gift, needless to say) lasted about two years. br / br /I hope this vacuum lasts me a long time, but if not, I'll buy another bagged vacuum in the future. br /
Great Value for the Price - Good for Cabins, Small Apartments November 26, 2008

I was looking for a cheap, but decent vacuum for our fixer-upper cabin which called for an all-purpose vacuum. Plus, since we don't use the place as much as we do our own home, I wasn't willing to shell out a whole lot for a vacuum cleaner. br / br /I read the reviews on Amazon.com and Consumer Reports and decided to give the Hoover a try. I have been extremely pleased in the 3 months we have owned it. To sum up the +s and -s: br /Positives: br /*Great price - $65 is easy on the wallet br /*picks up everything! It has great suction br /*It practically "drives" itself right out of my hands - much easier to maneuver around the floors than my $450 Dyson at home br /*light-weight - not a chore to drag up our steep stairs br /*The "headlight" is a great little feature which allows you to see into dark corners and under shaded spots in the room br /*I like the bag -- much cleaner to empty than my Dyson, and I don't have to empty it every time I vacuum br / br /Negatives: br /*I agree with the other reviews that speak to the cheap, plastic feel/look to it. --But this is why you're only paying 10s of dollars instead of 100s of dollars br /*The short hose is a pain when you want to quickly suck something up. You have to unwrap the entire power cord to get at it and then add on the extension attachments to really be able to use it. I have tipped it over a number of times reaching for something I'm trying to vacuum. br /*It's LOUD! br /*The on-board attachments are so-so/flimsy plastic, but they get the job done; and again, if you want something with a little more structure, shell out the extra dough for a higher-end model br /*The bag-full indicator is always on - since the 2nd time I used it, it appears that the bag is full, so I still have to check manually. br /*As I eluded to above, the power cord winds around the vacuum in an awkward way and you have to unwind all of it to use the onboard attachments. --But this is no different than the Dyson. br / br /Again, this is a great vacuum for the price. It's particularly good for small living spaces or to keep on one floor of the house. Since we aren't at the cabin as much as we are at home, this is the perfect vacuum for us! I'll keep my Dyson at home and the Hoover at the cabin.
