Hoover Tornado VCM43B1
Terrible made in China product
Only after using it for less than 3 months the suction level drops. Cleaned many times, nothing helps. This vacuum frustrates enormously. Vacuums back from the 80s were much bother. The Hoover company and brand lost my respect and trust.
Purchased in February 2019 at Godfreys for $99.00.

At least it looks OK!
The Tornado worked well to start with on rugs, carpet and timber floors, but I could not recommended it for anywhere dusty!!! After a year, it developed an overheating problem even with regular (expensive) filter replacement. The motor switched on/off every few seconds/minutes. As a test, I tried running it without the canister, hose or filters in place and the problem persisted. The air coming out the exhaust was still very hot. Removing a foam wrap from around the motor (noise insulation, maybe?) seems to have fixed the problem for now. O...
Read moreur 20 year old Panasonic which had been relegated to the workshop and totally mistreated has now been returned to domestic service and I'll buy another one of those. The Hoover is definitely not worth the $99 I paid.Purchased in February 2019 at Godfreys Physical Stores for $99.00.

Useless
After 1 month lost all suction, even though we cleaned the filters, impossible to get your floors clean, this is definitely the worst vacuum cleaner I have ever had so will avoid this brand in the future for sure

Excellent
Fantastic works exceptionally well on a tiled floor. Picks all the pet hair, it's quite, light weight. It sucks better than my dyson upright, only downside is the short cord but that's easily fixed with extension cord. Dust bin holds alot no need to empty before finishing the house even with all the pet hair which is bad now as it's summer one big dog & three cat's two of cats have long hair. No regrets purchasing this at $99 on sale was a bargain.

Great unit!
Previously had a Samsung vacuum which was a great unit, but if had electronic controls on the handle, which after a while broke, so could only control it by plugging it in at the wall outlet to turn it on. Eventually it literally blew up.
I wasn't sure what to expect from the Hoover tornado. It didn't really seem to give the appearance of being anything special.
When I got it home though, I was, and still am, very impressed! Great suction, easy to move around, great filter, and nice big chamber. I can do my whole apartment and still not need to empty the chamber.
Very pleased with this guy.

Powerful clean. Great price
Went through a number of vacuums before this one and we are quite pleased with the performance. We have floorboards and rugs and the clean is thorough on both surfaces.

Questions & Answers

Hi, I was cleaning the cone filter and the silver part came away from the rest of the cone filter. Is this suppose to detach from the filter? Tried to put it back together, but it won't stay on. Can see that theres little lugs that match up? Any help would be appreciated, Thanks Sharon
