Pros: great suction, lightweight, inexpensive,
Cons: short cord, can't turn agitator brush off for bare floors,

My $300 Panasonic Vacuum Cleaner needed a new motor and it was not worth having repaired. I researched Vacuum Cleaners for two weeks and the Hoover U5140-900 Tempo Widepath Bagged Upright Vacuum kept coming up as highly recommended. I was not really ...

Pros: Doesn't leave any debris behind and is priced very low for the quality you get
Cons: The hose could be a little longer

This vacuum got a good review in consumer reports, and they were right on. It works very well (sucks everything up), especially pet hair. I have a house full of shedding dogs and with one pass, every last hair is picked up. It also handles well (self ...

Pros: Jet engine like suction and value for the money.
Cons: For the price... none!

Throw your Dyson out! This cheap, ugly Hoover Tempo attacks pet hair like a rabid spider monkey!! I have tried many, many vaccums from Dyson, Oreck, Rainbow, Kirby, Dirt Devil, Bissell etc. however NONE of them even come close to the overall value and ...

Pros: low price, powerful, indicator light when bag is full
Cons: none

I was not on the market for a vacuum but I was reading about Hoover U5140 - 900 Tempo Widepath Bagged, on sale at Amazon.com for $49 and free shipping and I thought for that price I should give it a try . Boy oh boy I'm glad I did . This vacuum is got a ...

Pros: Great suction, Light Weight, handy accessories
Cons: Short hose, Power cord is located too close to the hose difficult to wind

I was looking for another Hoover vacuum that would fit my needs, carpet, bare floors and hose attachments. After reading reviews of bagless vacuums, I decided to stick with a vacuum with a bag. The cost of the Tempo was very low for such a great ...

Pros: strong vacuum, complete basic accessories, low cost
Cons: 20' power cord, short stiffer vac hose, poor hose routing, agitator always on

For an executive summary, read only the bolded sentences. Bag or Bagless? Before we even begin, for home use I'd never consider a bagless. Anyone who has owned a Dustbuster or its clones know emptying its small canister scatters dust, and ...

Pros: Easy assembly, alot of convenient features, cheap
Cons: Short hose, very loud, short cord that is hard to wind

My husband and I got the Hoover U5140-900 Tempo WidePath Bagged Upright Vacuum off of our wedding gift registry a few months ago, and I have absolutely loved it so far! Assembly This vacuum was incredibly easy to put together. The ...

Pros: Inexpensive. Bagged convenience. Good on rugs and carpets. Handy tool storage. Maneuverable.
Cons: Earsplitting noise level. Tupperware-like build quality. So-so performance on bare floors.

What’s the big deal about vacuums? So many models from which to choose. And the prices! Why, I wondered, should I spend hundreds when I can get a Hoover Tempo Widepath for $69 at Best Buy? Considering the number of reviews this model has already ...

Pros: Inexpensive
Easy to assemble
Strong suction
Cons: Using the cleaning tools is very messy

I just bought the Hoover Widepath Tempo vacuum sweeper a couple days ago and have used it for about 2 hours. I noticed while doing the simple assembly that one part described in the manual - the hose tube cover - was absent. I didn't think too much about ...

Pros: This is an incredibly affordable machine, if you don't have a lot of heavy vacuuming.
Cons: This is not a heavy duty vacuum. It clogs easy and isn't easy to empty.

I had to have a vacuum because my expensive Electrolux blew up. I thought if I had to purchase a vacuum every few years I would go with a less expensive vacuum so I could purchase one every few years if it quit working. It was a good plan but one that I ...

Pros: Has good suction. Works well on carpet. Bags are inexpensive.
Cons: Hose isn't long enough,hoses & attachments don't lock, does not work well on hard floors.

I purchased the Tempo Upright because I wanted an inexpensive vacuum to clean my small house which has very little carpet. I have had this vacuum less than 2 years and I HATE it. It makes me incredibly angry, as if vacuuming wasn't irritating enough, I ...

Pros: Incredible suction power!!
Cons: Hose could be a bit longer, but for $70, who cares?

I'm a complete vacuum snob and think most of them out there are crap. After spending many hundreds of dollars on various vacuums, including bagless, which is a total gimmick and a total mess, by the way....I read the reviews on the Hoover Tempo and decided to give it a try. It has UNBELIEVABLE suction!! I've never had a vacuum this powerful and that includes the ones that I've owned that have cost over $500...I paid $69.99 for the Tempo Wide Path at Best Buy. I almost never recommend anything....I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend this vac!

Pros: Great suction, light weight, takes regular bags
Cons: wish cord was longer

I just got one of these as our third vacuum.  I read the reviews and found it at Best Buy for $62--a steal!  It's really nice.  We have a high end Eureka canister and an electrolux canister.  It's light and does a very nice job.

Pros: Price, lightweight, stair vacuuming, awesome power, easy bag removal/replacement
Cons: Shorter than average cord

After reading the reviews here, at Consumer Reports and Amazon.com, I decided to go ahead and purchase the Hoover U5140-900 vacuum. I rarely am so pleased with a product that I take the time to post a review -- that's how impressed I am with this vacuum cleaner.

First it has excellent sucking power, it's lightweight, easy to push. Does a great job on my medium high pile carpet (a little less so on hardwood floors), has very good edge pickup. What I was really looking for was something powerful to vacuum my stairs and I found it with this vacuum. The attachments are more than sufficient. Bags are easy to replace and purchase. Overall, one of the best household appliance buys I've ever made.

FYI, I purchased from Amazon and got free shipping - what a deal!

Pros: Powerful. Inexpensive.
Cons: No extra features or options. Attachment hose kind of short.

This is a superior lightweight vacuum that only costs around $65. No other vacuum comes close at that price point.

It has good suction power, is reasonably quiet for a vacuum. It cleans my carpet so I can't see any dirt on it. It comes with some nice attachments.

There are definitely compromises. The hose isn't very long. The beater brush can't be stopped. But again, for this price point, it is a superior value.
