    Good Points: There aren't any


    Bad Points: Too many


    General comments: The Hoover DM4493 is the worst vacuum I have EVER had the misfortune to use, let alone own! It clogs before one room is finished, only picks up little things, has to be emptied twice with every use but never actually has the chance to fill the dust compartment! It leaves dust trails as you go. The cord doesn't reach from my kitchen to the front room (but every other appliance I have ever owned has), don't even bother using the hose. There is not enough suction! Don't attempt to hoover the stairs as the thing fell over and ripped my wallpaper. The thing is so light-weight it is un-believeable. It's the worst £140 I have ever spent.

    No suction once it cloggs up and mine cloggs up continuously, pipe fixing inadequate pulling tube out of frame whilst mid-vaccumm, so annoying! Worst hoover I have ever bought!!

    I thought that Hoover made good vacuum cleaners. I was wrong. The Hoover DM4493 is described as 'extra lightweight' - but actually it weighs a ton.
    It's unstable and keeps falling over when upright.
    The plastic catch which keeps it upright keeps breaking.
    The wheels keep falling off.
    The build quality is extremely poor.
    The hose keeps disconnecting.

    After 4 months I have now gone out and bought another dyson. I used to think Hoover was a good marque but this £159 Hoover DM4493 is now a garage decoration. I find dust piles left on the floor under the vacume when i use the hose. When i use the hose the upright cleaner keeps falling over. And lastly it does get very hot when in use.

    For us this Hoover DM4493 has proven absolutely useless - I bought this vacuum cleaner in the sale and now I know why! I'd previously owned a Dyson and it was a dream to use. This hoover is no good for the job - I've got two dogs and vacuum daily to ensure there isn't a build up of hair but even then it can't pick up even the slightest bit of dirt. The filters get blocked so even though the dust collection container is not very big, the dust, hair and dirt doesn't even get that far. It clogs ...

    I've had the hoover now for 18 months or more and was inititally very happy with it until the handle release broke because it is of poor quality and design and now both wheels keep falling off - very infuriating. I'm not prepared to throw any more money at it (my previous hoover lasted me around 6 years without any trouble) now I'm looking for a different brand!

    Overall, very pleased with this Hoover. I read a lot of mixed reviews prior to buying my Hoover, one that did concern me was from someone saying that 'the only way for them to vacuum the floors was to use the hose', as it didn't pick up properly using it upright.Well, I haven't found that problem, the Hoover has floor adjustments for different floor/carpet types, and I have set mine on Medium Carpet and had no problems so far!

    I purchased this Hoover DM4493 because my previous Hoover vacuum cleaner was so good. Sadly the performance and quality is not the same. I have had to purchase a new wheel (plastic) at a cost of £4.99 plus delivery costs of £2.75

    Have had this hoover for about two years and it's been more trouble than it's worth. The filters keep clogging up, and it then overheats and cuts out. I clean the filters as recommened but it makes no differance.

    The
    Hoover DM4493 is very heavy to lift and push. Poor value for money- 3 things broke on it in a year. Very noisy to use. All in all a waste of money! I had this hoover for just over a year. In that time the foot pedal release button broke twice, and today the switch has broken too!

    I've had this Hoover for just over a year. After about 10 months the catch snapped and it would no longer sit upright.
    A month later the wheel snapped off! and believe me it wasn't well used.
