Hoover Smart R1 T4012
Tuesday U.Metropolitan Adelaide, SA
Sold a dud by salesman
Was sold at Godfreys by salesman. I needed vacuum for big dusty house with lot of dog hair. I have to empty and clean everytime use. Major flaw no handle.
Rubbish!!
We got this from Godfreys saying it was a rely good product, it has done the work but only after 2 year's the motor has burnt out and that was only using it for 18 of those 24 months ,using it once a week! I would not recommend this vacuum cleaner to any one, I thought that Hoover was suppose to be a top brand.
Too complicated!
Great when you first use it, then it seems to stop working. There are three filters which you need to clean after every use, which when you get wet screws up the whole machine. We though after 3 months that it was the filters which stopped the sucking, but in an actual fact it is the curved plastic tube where the vent is. Dust, hair, and stones get clogged easily in it which causes the sucking to stop. So, when we used a hanger and put it down the tube, we pulled out big bundles of dust and hair. Don't go and spend $29 on a new filter without checking that first.

Don't bother even considering.
Needing a vacuum that was good for pet hair (I have two cats and a long haired Border Collie) but not wanting to spend $800+ on a Dyson, I was talked into buying this one, with a turbo head attachment. I ended up with the bagged model as the sales guy said the bagless would get clogged with all the fur...? Got home and tried it out. Had good suction with the turbo head but then it started electric shocking me, tried to use the normal head and it doesn't even fit. Also when trying to empty the bag you need to actually stick your fingers in to pu...
Read morell out the dirt/fur, or I guess just buy new bags everytime you use it. And it has no handle so you can't carry it, good thing this house doesn't have stairs! Absolute junk. Taking it back today to get a refund and am just gonna spend the extra on a Dyson instead. good suction for pet hair poor design. attachments don't fit. bag is poor. no carry handle. electric shocks you.2 comments

waste of money
Smart by name but not by design .Got talked into spending $250.00 for a bagless 2000 watt vacuum cleaner. I normally do lots of research on this site which is an awesome resource, but this was an urgent purchase and I thought spending so much would get quality - that's what the sales guy said. It's just awful. It's got limited suction, the build quality is shocking, it's got no usable handle so carrying it upstairs is dangerous, the wand and hand piece are such a poor fit that unless you're a muscleman you can't push them together tightly enou...
Read moregh, so the metal wand just drops onto the floor ( or the furniture or my foot!!!) at random times, the suction varying slide on the hand piece doesn't slot into the groove properly so it whistles loudly unless you squeeze it closed with your thumb the entire time you're vacuuming. The bagless mechanism has a sieve like conical filter which gets so blocked so quickly I have to keep dismantling the whole thing and tearing the fluff and fibres out by hand. The piece on the wand for the attachments to clip onto totally negates any ability to get under or beside or behind narrow spaces because even if you leave the attachments off it's still a bulky lump so now I can't vacuum under my couch, beside the fridge or behind the hydronic heating radiators. But they even scripmed on the cord. I have to either leave an extension cord permanently plugged into it or disconnect when i get half way along the living room or the passage because the cord is so short, which I have never had to do in the past. Can't for the life of me work out what aspect of this is "Smart".5 comments
I went in to buy another Miele (happy with the last one) but was talked into a "Smart" Hoover...price was $100 less than Miele ...wished I had paid the extra $100 because this vac appears good to star...
Read moret but you quickly find out the fittings don't fit...hence the dropping of the ss hose on your foot...somehow it works itself free ?? is there a gadget that can stop this ???Diane, if you put the handle in on a 45 degree angle and twist it into your prefffered position while you apply pressure downwards, i can assure you it will not come out, dont just put it in straight.
Easy laws of physics :) no more sore feet
Thanks Banjo, didn't really help though. Fell out again and chipped a tile on the kitchen floor. Can you suggest anything for the litany of other issues? SSandi

My parents have a Hoover All Rounder T4012. They didnt know about the filters and collection chamber in the main barrel. Long story, short - I discovered this and emptied it and cleaned the grey sponge filter. They dont have the manual. I need to know how to put it back together properly. Thanks

I agree, I also got SUCKED into buying one of these, its a shitbox. Not even 3 months old and the on/off switch will not stay on.
