An average Hoover [Posted on 2008-07-19] This is a good, inexpensive namebrand vacuum. The only drawback is that the cord is placed very low on the unit so if you're not holding the cord with your other hand, you'll be vacuuming over it, alot. If this vacuum lasts me a year, I'll be happy.
Excellent choice [Posted on 2008-07-19] Product is definitely a great deal and works fantastically. It is easy to push and almost feels as though it "pushes itself." Only complaint is that the vacuum hose is quite short, but you don't expect a lot of frills for such an inexpensive price! We bought one for each of the floors of our home.
I Love this Vacuum! [Posted on 2008-07-19] HI! I just have to tell everyone that this is a great value! This vacuum rocks! I was searching for a vacuum after my old one stopped vacuuming. Well let me tell you first I wanted something light weight as I have carpel tunnel in both wrist as well as arthritis in my thumbs. So first I bought one of the rechargeable light weight kind that has a removable hand held unit. I thought it was sleek and perfect. Well I recharged it for 48 hours (like it said) and it worked all of 12 minutes! I tried recharging it and no go, it just won't work...and of course I destroyed the box so I am stuck! Well I still needed a vacuum and badly so I researched everywhere and discovered that the light weight vacuums are either too expensive or don't do the job.
Well after hours and hours of research I came upon this Hoover Tempo and thought I would give it a try. It was reasonably priced and it was from Amazon so I could return it if I didn't love it.
This vacuum has unbelievable suction and did my living room rug (which was pretty nasty since I had no vacuum for awhile) in about 3 minutes. This vacuum has a mind of it's own I turned it on it took off across the floor, it sucked up everything even somethings I didn't want it to, like a shoelace the kids had left out. But I was thrilled! It cleaned my room in no time and better than my old vacuum did when it worked. It has adjustments for bare floors and they work! It's very easy to maneuver so I have no pain (like I use too) when operating it. It also comes with attachments that are very easy to use and fit right on the vacuum with no problems. I know that some say the cord is too short but I have a small house and I just moved it from room to room without issue.
The price of this vacuum is very competitive, and a sight less than what I paid for the rechargeable piece of junk I bought. Amazon offered free shipping and I received it in three days!
So If you're looking for a great vacuum, get the Hoover Tempo! Believe me I researched the heck out of it and if you can't afford a Dyson then this is your answer!

Good, Solid and Dependable for the Price [Posted on 2008-07-20] I'm a custodian at a church, and I bought three of these vacuums to use there. For the price, they are great little machines. The only downsides are that they are very loud, more so than many other vacuums I've used, and the bags on them can fill up rather fast (or maybe it is just really dirty). They have good suction, and have been very dependable. They have a nice wide path, even though they are a bit heavy. I use them for several hours a week, and as long as I change the bags, and change the belts regularly I have never had a single problem with them. Great deal for the money.
Great Vacuum in a Convenient Size [Posted on 2008-07-20] When my central vacuum cleaner became permanently disabled, I searched online, through Consumer Reports and in-store for an upright, clean-air filtration replacement. The Hoover U5140-900 Tempo was consistantly rated at the top and is clearly a bargain at this price. The base is wide enough for quicker cleaning but remains flexible; suction power is excellent and the unit is not overloaded with attachments that you would probably never use. I am partially disabled but have little discomfort using this vacuum due to its good design and lighter weight. I also do not have to go over and over areas to accomplish the task of cleaning-up!
