Features of Hoover Savvy
Vacuum weighs 28 pounds upon shipping; covered by a 1-year limited warranty Bagged and bag less combo upright vacuum from Hoover for floors, carpets, upholstered furniture, and air HEPA filtration system and bags cleanse air in either bagged or bag less functions Embedded debris is agitated and dislodged by dual wind tunnels on the 12-amp vacuum Includes many on-board accessories including upholstery brush and pet roller; 31-foot power cord
With air filtration, wind tunnel technology, and dirt-locating capabilities that surpass that of the human eye, this Hoover Savvy Combo vacuum does it all. The upright 12-amp vacuum's innovative design allows user to opt for bagged or bag-less systems, accommodating both users who prefer neatly bagging debris, and those who would rather reduce bag waste. In its October 2004 buyers' guide, the Good Housekeeping Institute bestowed the Best Overall honor on Hoover's multi-faceted vacuum. The combo vacuum ensures a clean carpet with a special Dirt Finder function, notifying users of cleaning completion with the illumination of a green light. To obtain this standard of cleanliness, the Sure Pass Cleaning System uses two air paths together for a wind tunnel effect. Air agitates plusher carpeting from both directions to uproot deeply embedded dirt and dust. No vacuum belts are needed for this appliance, minimizing troubleshooting hazards with broken belts. A custom control switch permits users to shift settings for hardwood cleaning. A twin-chamber HEPA eradicates impurities from the air while the vacuum is in bag-less mode, while the vacuum uses filtrate HEPA filter bags for the bagged system. Users tend to stairs and odd-angled upholstery with an on-board rotating brush attachment while eliminating pet hair with another included brush. The vacuum's low hood slips under sofas and tables without difficulty. The self-propelled accessory cuts a 15-inch swath, spanning the power cord's 31-foot distance. Some assembly may be required. Hoover offers a one-year warranty for this item. The vacuum weighs 28 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

Hoover Savvy Customer Review(s):
Summary: Now I'm Totally Confused!!!
Rating: 4 (out of 5)
Comment: I've been checking out lots of uprights at stores where I can actually try them out (e.g., Sears) and after several days of vacuuming up a lot of store carpets and floors, I decided on the Savvy U8181-900. Since I've bought other items from Amazon, I came here to get their price and the current deal with the $25 promo can't be beat.
I thought the weight, features, and performance of the Savvy was better than most that I tried, but other than the first reviewer, the others are very negative, so now I don't know what to do. I tried everyone's Best Buy, the Eureka Boss 4870, and it was way too heavy!
The motor of my very expensive upright burned up after 5-years of service, and since it and most other vacs are only under warranty for a year or two, it doesn't make sense to me to spend very much on any vacuum cleaner! Too bad about the negative feedback on the Savvy though - I really liked it...

Summary: not for hardwood floors
Rating: 2 (out of 5)
Comment: I purchased this vacuum yesterday and am bringing it back this morning. It worked great on the carpet but does not pick up a single speck on the hardwood! I couldn't even feel any suction when I put my hand underneath.I am so dissapointed because I really like the bag/bagless feature and have not been able to find that on others. I prefer to use a bag and keep all the dust and dirt from flying around when dumping a bagless canister. If you have wood floors don't bother it won't pick up.

Summary: Big mistake
Rating: 1 (out of 5)
Comment: Bought this model from Costco - used it with the included HEPA bag (bagless HEPA is too messy) and have been very disappointed. It doesn't pick up even the lightest item from a bare floor and is hard to push on carpet. I can live with that BUT the constant blowing of air straight up into my face from the lower filter is totally unbearable. Can't even breathe when vacuuming. Will be returning it for a Eureka 4870 which Consumer Reports seems to like.
