powerful and easy to remove waste December 1, 2008
I really like this vacuum. I was impressed with it's pick-up power, the bag was full of all sorts of disgusting items when I was finished, things my other bagless vacuum used to miss. It was really easy to remove the waste, and having the release on the bottom made sure that I didn't make a huge mess which was really nice. The cord retrieval button is a really nice feature as well. As long as you have the cord relatively untangled to begin with, all you do it push the cord button and it gathers back inside the vacuum. I have to keep my vacuum in a pretty packed closet, so storing the cord inside the machine helps me from getting things tangled up and a big mess.
The only thing keeping me from giving it a 5 is the fact that it is pretty heavy, so if weight doesn't bother you, then this is a great vacuum at a really good price.

Best vacuum for the price. Best Buy!
You won't be disappointed with this Hoover Vacuum.
Great Buy November 25, 2008
I recently bought this vacuum cleaner and I'm pleasantly suprised. I had another Hoover Windtunnel model and loved it til I beat the life out of it. Very impressed with the suction power of this vacuum. I was truly amazed. I like the auto cord feature...just don't press it to0 fast or you'll be whacking the thing into your walls. Only negative is that the cord is shorter than my windtunnels cord. I was so used to the areas that I could reach from each plug. All and all it's a GREAT BUY for the money!
 Wow, just....WOW! November 23, 2008
I guess there's a difference between the Elite Rewind, and the Deluxe Elite Rewind. Either that, or everyone gets a lemon from time to time. I guess I just got a great model. I've seen other people bash this vacuum left and right saying that it falls apart after a few months and becomes unreliable. I've owned my vacuum for almost a year now, and can say that it works just as great as the first time I used it. Haven't had any clog or belt problems like everyone else seems to have.
Cleaning: I don't own any pets, but I do live in a 2 bedroom apartment living with 3 other people, so pretty much every place in my apartment is considered "high traffic". This vacuum not only has great suction, but the brush roller actually fluffs the carpets and leaves them feeling new. The hand tools work great. The "pet hair attachment" works fantastic as a couch cleaning tool. Our living room also doubles as our dining room, so crumbs are inevitable. If anyone has kids, I'm sure they'll appreciate this feature.
Functionality: The rewind feature is by far my favorite thing about this vacuum. Like the other reviewer stated, it does retract the chord at a rather startling pace, but can be slowed if you just push it down half way rather than all the way. Emptying the canister is also a joy. I have allergies that are triggered relatively easily, so the dirt release feature from the bottom is a godsend. It doesn't plume up a cloud of dust and it just falls out like warm butter. The chord is a little short, but its perfect for my apartment. I can just plug it in to the outlet in my hallway and reach just about everywhere. I'm sure larger households would require a little more maneuvering. This vacuum is quite possibly one of the quietest for the price. I only have 2 other vacuum's to compare it too, but it's certainly the quietest of the 3. Same with maneuverability. It glides on my carpet and hard floors very easily. I think it may be self propelled because it barely requires any pushing at all.
Maintenance: Cleaning the filter is pretty simple. All you have to do is twist off the collector inside the canister and rinse off the filter with warm water and let it dry overnight. You can take a toothbrush to the filter and scrape off the dust to keep it dry, but I prefer rinsing it off and letting it dry overnight so I can be sure its 100% clean and dust free. Same principle applies to the canister. Just rinse it out and let it drip dry over a paper towel and you'll be set. I can't give any input on the internal maintenance of this vacuum, as I've never had to clean out the hoses or replace a belt. I guess I'm lucky in that aspect.
Overall for the price, I don't think it gets any better than the Deluxe Elite Rewind from Hoover. The ease of upkeep and functionality of this vacuum definitely deserves a 5 star rating. Again, I'm sure there are lemons out there, and not all of them are manufactured as solid as the one I purchased. If you do get a well constructed one, you won't want to use anything else.
 Disappointed November 19, 2008
I must dissent from the enthusiastic reviews. I have used it for the first time and with instruction book open. Despite emptying the bag, cleaning the filter, checking hose connection, etc., I cannot get the restricted yellow air flow indicator to go away. The only step left, according to the instruction booklet, is to disassemble the bottom and remove the agitator. This is too complicated for me--and should not be necessary the first time the product is used. It is also hard to "realign arrows" (there is only 1) and replace the filter cap. This feels cheap and probably will break fairly soon. Hoover wants me to spend on a toll call to speak to someone. This is the first time I have gotten a larger appliance through Amazon and I doubt if I can really repack it. The nearest Hoover Service Center is far away. This is one time I regret not going to a local store--I could then dump it and ask for my money back.
