Hoover Purepower 1500 1700W

such a shame hoover cant sort this cleaner out its really powerfulbut overheats and shuts down after cleaning my lounge carpet which is absolutely useless so glad i kept my panasonic which hasnt let me down in 27 years its lighter than the hoover so i keet it upstairs instead of mauling one up there. get it sorted hoover!!

Bought the first one in 2010. within 6 months it was replaced by Sainsburys as unrepairable.

The second machine was consigned to car cleaning (only used once every two weeks for about fifteen minutes) After 18months the motor had overheated and stopped working. Contacted HOOVER-CANDY GROUP to be advised 'SORRY OUT OF GUARANTEE They would send an engineer at a cost of £70.00 plus parts. The cleaner only cost £68.00.

I have now purchaced an ORECK which so far works perfectly. I am sorry that I did not read the reviews prior to my HOOVER PUREPOWER purchace.

When new I paid top price for this vac, because I thought it would be the best, but pick-up was poor, I always changed bags frequently, and kept it clean, it's quicker to use a brush and shovel to pick up dirt from the carpet.

I'm so disapointed with it.

This has been thrown out to the garage for car cleaning as I have had enough of it in the house. The heat that comes from it when in use makes vaccuming very hot work, it is noisy and falls over when using the tools which fall of the hook when not in use. What a waste of money.

I bought the Pure Power a few years and am very reluctant to use it as the hose does not stay wound up so keeps falling onto the floor. If you take the nozzle out to use it, the whole thing falls over as it has a very short, tight hose. It has given me a number of bruises over the years. I hate it!!!!

My Hoover Purepower 1500 keeps shutting off, I think it has a thermostat in it, I also keep thinking the bag is full and you end up buying more bags.The roller was worn out after 4 months.The foot pedal housing snapped in no time and now it keeps falling over. I do not recommend it.

I bought a Hoover Purepower 1500 just under a year ago. First of all, when it was just six months old, the cable failed. Engineer came out and repaired. One month later cable failed again. Plus, the handle release pedal broke and one of the wheels fell off. Engineer came out and fixed. Then I noticed it wasn't picking up very well only to find that the agitator brush was completely bald! After eight months. New agitator brush duly sent through. (By this time the Hoover helpline was practically on speed dial) All was well for a few weeks then the cable failed again. I am, at present, trying to obtain a refund, who knows if I'll get it?

Words cannot express just how truly awful the Hoover Purepower is. My 1700w example was so riddled with faults that I cannot believe Hoover tested it further than operating the on-off switch.

Our first problem was with the bags (Hoover bags) that developed small splits in the wall, causing them to burst. These were being caused by the bag compartment that has small 'fins' moulded in to aid circulation. The vacuum force was so strong that they were piercing the bag. I therefore got out the gaffer tape and smoothed them over . This solved that problem but caused the force of the vacuum to concentrate its destructive efforts on the seam at the bottom of the bag. The bags were giving up after a few days of use and barely one-tenth full so I started to gaffer tape the seam to strengthen it. Even this remedy was insufficient and they burst again before being half-full.

The next problem encountered was with the clip on the exhaust filter door. It retains the flexible hose and snapped after a few months. Hoover provided a replacement . That snapped as well . Hoover refused to supply another which was just as well as that eradicated any semblance of brand loyalty that I had left. I was reduced to drilling the door and attaching a bolt that worked fine The flexible hose itself is nothing short of dangerous. If you use it to clean the stair treads with the hoover above you , the vacuum created in the hose causes it to snap short pulling the machine on top of you.

Persevered with it for about 2 years until thankfully it finally blew up. Did what I should have done in the first place and bought a Sebo instead.

After using the Hoover Purepower 1500 I'm desperate for a decent vacuum cleaner. It's supposed to be a 1700w pethoover, but it clogs up with dog hair after couple of uses and has to be unclogged before you can get any suction from the hose attachment. Height adjuster fell is broken off after just a few months. Falls over very easily just by pulling at the hose to clean stairs etc.

Called service team out to fix possible problem (not working wery well) they came out 5 times to fix problem and said it is working as designed. In other words at best it is rubbish, stay well away.
