Hoover S2220 Review

Hoover S2220 Review by Skylark Red (USA)

I went out looking for a small vacuum WITH a bag, trying to avoid the bagless (didn't want to deal with the dust), but changed my mind when I found this one.

Excellent and no-nonsense. I can whip this baby out and have it running in 3 seconds. This thing is great for quick clean ups, like the kitchen, although I have used it for a complete downstairs vacuuming

Good points: two modes--carpet and floor. Works both surfaces great. The carpet-mode simply powers up the power head roller.

The low-profile, swivel head means I can get under everything, everywhere, even couches, which means less furniture to move.
Quick-release power cord hook, so I'm not spending five minutes unraveling the reasonably-long cord.

See-thru "unbag" so you know when it's getting full.

It is small enough to store anywhere, even has a hole in the top of the handle to hang in a closet.

Bad points: I'm thinking hard on this one. OK, the power switch is too low (see the picture). It is also bagless, which I found is actually GOOD point as it keeps this vacuum light and small. The "bag" is very easy to pull out and empty. With no bags to buy, the price makes this an excellent choice.

It's also great for chasing cats around the house.

UPDATE: The handle needs some kind of rubber coating to prevent it from falling when leaned against a wall or counter; managed to break the lower cord catch due to repeated falls. Naturally, I immediately bought another (from Amazon, of course).

Hoover S2220 Review by Lynn in PA "Lynn" (SE PA, U.S.A.)

I'm so happy with the S2220 stick vac that I'm giving it 5 stars, despite my one major complaint: The final filters, on either side of the upper body (red part), can not be cleaned but have to be replaced when they get dirty. The part number is 591360-22 and only costs $1.99 (for one)--but Hoover charges $7.50 shipping for this part which could easily be mailed in a regular, legal sized envelope. It can most easily be located doing a search for, "59136022." Amazon does not sell this. If anyone finds a place that has lower s/h than Hoover, please share it here.

Other than the above, I couldn't be happier. This is my third Hoover stick vac and by far the best. My first, a 2-speed Quik-Broom, purchased years ago, lacked a power nozzle but was great on hard floors. The cup had a much larger capacity, but it didn't trap dust from being exhausted the way the S2220 does. It was damaged by water so I replaced it with a Hoover S2571 Cyclonic Action 2-speed, which was never satisfactory. It's cup and filtering system were similar but different to the S2220 and it did a VERY poor job of even sucking-up kitty litter. When the plastic handle cracked, despite being carefully used, I researched stick vacs here and decided to try the S2220 since people raved about it.

Other reviewers who love this Hoover Flair are right, in my opinion. The swivel head is great, the machine is so light it's easy to clean steps with, and the power nozzle does a fantastic job of getting pet hair off even cheap doormats that were next to impossible to completely clean in the past. Floor cleaning is not my idea of a good time, but I'm finding that using the S2220 is so easy and convenient, that my floors are cleaner than ever.

Really, I am very pleased with this purchase. I just wish Amazon sold the replacement side filters.

Hoover S2220 Review by D. Smith (Santa Fe, NM USA)

Let me first say that, while it was working, this vacuum met my expectations and performed well. With extended use it consistently over-heated and ceased to work until it had time to cool down. After about 11 months of average use, the power nozzel stopped working and, since this is not user servicable (can't replace the belt), I took it in for warranty service. The first time I got it back after a month and the problem was not fixed (it was as if no one even touched it). I immediately took it back (that was 45 days ago) -Hoover still has it and the estimate is about 2 more weeks.
