Hoover UH30010COM Review Analysis:

hoover-uh30010com-reviewFeatures: It has a HEPA Filter, with Direct air-flow technology and Windtunnel Technology for fast, efficient results. It is lightweight, weighing just 5.5 pounds. It includes canister vacuum, bare-floor brush, dusting brush, crevice tool, and telescoping wand

  • Illuminated fingertip controls

Performance: Users report the Platinum as “the best Hoover ever made,”  and we have to agree. Seeing how they previously curtailed to lower end models, this new Platinum model is really just that – Platinum. Users agreed it was quiet, powerful, lightweight (Lightweight to vacuum your stairs with ease). Some users complained that the canister isn’t as powerful or on the same level as the upright.

Value: At $300 for both the upright and canister Platinum UH30010COM, the vacuum set provides enough value and then some. Most users wrote glowing reviews for the product. To date only less than 30 reviews, as it is a newer vacuum, but the lowest review is 3/5, with the rest being 5/5 (perfect).

Hoover UH30010COM Platinum Reviews:

“Great vacuum! Replaced my canister vac for something with a bag and had only used it for about a week and there was an easily noticeable difference in the amount of dust in my home. Lightweight and surprisingly low noise…” – User Review

” It has extraordinary power in a relatively quiet, sleek, lightweight package that doesn’t leave me feeling deaf, sore and exhausted.  Bravo, Hoover! Run, don’t walk, to get the Hoover UH30010COM Platinum vacuuming system … you will not be disappointed.” – User Review

“The supplementary canister has a strap and a 25 food cord. I didn’t like it the first time I tried it, but the second time I adjusted the strap to fit me (DUH!), and then I LOVED it! The canister carries the crevice and brush attachments on board, so switching is easy, and the wand is extendable. (I don’t use the floor tool, because I use a stick vac on my hardwoods.)” – User Review

Bought because was highly recommended by Consumer Reports.

Brought home. Vacuumed about 3 square yards of a low pile carpet. Vacuum shuts off with flashing blue light meaning (according to manual) the beater brush Stall Preventor kicked in. Instructions said to clean brushes. Even though only a few cat hairs, I cleaned it. Still shuts off within 2-10 seconds.

Returned to store for replacement. Replacement did the exact same thing. Ran it on a hardwood floor. Still shut off. There must be a sensor that THINKS the vacuum beater bar is about to stall.

Will return to store and buy another brand.
