We were looking for a Hoover F5914-900 vacuum we could use on the 2nd floor of our home that had an allergy filter, was light weight, and reasonable cost.
The Hoover Tempo Widepath Hoover U5140-900 has fit our needs and was a good choice for us. The reason why we considered this vacuum was because it had a good rating in consumer reports and was lighter in weight than a lot of uprights. Consumer reports did state that this vacuum performs better on carpets than bare floors. This again fit our situation because our 2nd floor is all carpet.
Some reviewers have criticized this Hoover 5507-900 vacuum. However, compared to the 1990 Hoover Legacy vacuum that we were using on the 2nd floor, this vacuum was an upgrade for us. True, this vacuum is not quite as good as our Kenmore progressive model that we use on the first floor of our home, but the cost was a lot less and the weight was less.
Compared to our 1990 model year vacuum….Hoover S2220
The cord length of both was within 3″ of each other. Hoover Tempo has about 23 feet, 9 inches of usable cord stretch after the cord is attached to the clips on the vacuum to keep it tucked up out of the way when in use.
The Hoover U5786900 Hoover Tempo has a 29″ flex hose. This was 3″ less than our old vacuum. If you have a concern about the hose length, as other reviewers have pointed out, there is an option to purchase a longer hose.
The parts do seem to be flimsier than the Hoover S3765-040 1990 model. Especially the lid covering the hose connection port. Unfortunately, that is a trend with a lot of manufactured items now made outside the USA.
This Hoover F7411-900 vacuum does have an allergy filter, but it is NOT a full blown HEPA filter system that our downstairs vacuum has. But this is an upgrade from our 1990 model that did not have any filter system.
