Overview

The Hoover Tempo Widepath Bagged Upright Vacuum (Model # UH30015) is a reliable and affordable vacuum cleaner designed for general home cleaning. The Hoover Tempo WidePath Bagged Upright Vacuum (Model # UH30015) is designed for straightforward, efficient cleaning.

Design and Build:

• Size and Weight: The Tempo WidePath is a bit larger than some other models, with a wide cleaning path that measures around 15 inches. It's relatively lightweight, making it easy to maneuver despite its size.
• Construction: It has a sturdy build, typical of Hoover vacuums, which often translates to durability.

Performance:

• Suction Power: This model provides strong suction, suitable for various types of flooring, including carpets and hard floors. It uses a 12-amp motor, which is quite powerful and helps in deep cleaning.
• Filtration: The vacuum features a HEPA filter, which is effective for trapping dust and allergens. This is a great feature for households with allergy sufferers.
• Cleaning Path: The wide cleaning path allows for quicker cleaning of large areas. It’s designed to be efficient on carpets and can handle low-pile to medium-pile carpets well.

Features:

• Bagged System: The vacuum uses a bagged system, which can be a plus for those who prefer not to deal with dust and debris directly. It typically means better containment of allergens.
• Headlight: Some models come with a headlight, which can be useful for cleaning in dimly lit areas.
• Attachments: It usually includes a few handy attachments like a crevice tool and an upholstery brush. These can be useful for cleaning edges, stairs, and upholstery.

Usability:

• Ease of Use: The vacuum is designed for easy use with a comfortable handle and a relatively long power cord that provides good reach without frequent unplugging.
• Noise Level: It is not the quietest model on the market but not excessively loud either. The noise level is generally considered acceptable for its power.

Maintenance:

• Bag Replacement: Using a bagged vacuum means you’ll need to replace the bags periodically. This is a simple process but adds an ongoing cost.
• Filter Maintenance: The HEPA filter should be checked regularly and replaced as needed to maintain optimal performance.
