I call the Hoover fold away a three day vaccum- as that's about how long I was happy with it.It's MESSY, it's DUSTY, it clogs constantly and replacement filters are close to $20 each when you get tired of trying to unclog the one you have.What is even worse than the vaccum itself was Hoovers customer service when I wrote about the problems I was having- they pretty much said, *sorry you don't like it, tough cookies*.
