This is my Hoover Bagless Twin Chamber upright vacuum (from 2003), model U5752-900, that I bought from a pawn shop in my area. I wanted to get this vacuum since I got my Elite style Bagless Twin Chamber ( • Hoover Bagless Twin Ch... ) to see how it compared to that vacuum. This was quite an upgrade from the Elite style of the Bagless Twin Chamber upright since it uses a clean air (bypass) based motor rather than the direct air that the older version had. This does come with an on board hose mounted on the side of the machine that is controlled by a mechanical valve down on the head of the vacuum that diverts the suction from either the vacuum head or the hose, all goes through the head when you're cleaning, but when the vacuum is upright, the valve is closed off at the head and all the suction will go through the hose. It features a 12 amp motor with clean air design, and features the twin chamber bagless dirt bin which consists of a filter on one side and a empty section on the other so when the dirt gets pulled in, all of the heavy particles will stay in the empty section of the dust bin, and some particles will get trapped on the filter screen before entering the large pre motor HEPA filter which traps most of the more fine dust particles. The suction is pretty good (not the best in tool mode compared to its bagged counterpart, but respectable), and the airflow is surprisingly amazing for a bagless vacuum, and the agitation is fantastic. My only complaint about this machine is that the twin chamber system is a pain to clean out, especially that large HEPA pre-filter. Overall, I absolutely love this vacuum and is certainly better than anything Hoover makes today.
