5 Stars A HEPA Bag
These bags are standard equipment for my Hoover Platinum upright vacuum cleaner. They are more expensive than the bags I used to buy for my Eureka boss or the bags for my Panasonic canister. Keep in mind, however that these bags are HEPA media, trapping dust and pollens down to .3 microns. With such an effective bag in the vacuum, there’s no need to have a separate and expensive HEPA filter too. I have a personal preference for bagged vacuums and like the idea of trapping and keeping all the carpet gunk in a contained medium.
The bags look and feel of high quality and are heavier and thicker than other vacuum bags I have used. They feel soft and almost clothlike. I like that the bags are easy to install and go on tightly so that there are no bursts of dust thrown back into the air.
These Q-HEPA bags are very large and I’ve read anecdotes of them lasting up to six months. I dont think they’ll last that long for me; I vacuum the house every day because lots of dirt is tracked in the house by two dogs and myself.
The owner’s guide for the vacuum advises not using any scented powder or powdered cleaner on the carpets because the dust may clog the bags. This could be a problem for those who use Capture carpet cleaner as I do. Also if one gets fleas in the carpet, it’s best to vacuum often and change the bag frequently, an expensive proposition with these bags.
To keep the bag smelling fresh I like to add a scent tablet, car air cleaner, or some potpourri to the bag before installation.
The price for these bags on Amazon is good, especially with the four for three deal if it’s available when you read this. Other vendors list these bags for slightly less than Amazon does, but consider the additional postage charged by these sellers.
Finally - I really like the bags and love the Hoover Platinum vacuum cleaner.
5 Stars HEPA Vacuum Bags
I really enjoy these bags in my new Hoover Platinum vacuum cleaner. MUCH more room than a bagless. I can do my whole house 3200 sq. ft. without once changing or emptying anything - and not just once either. Which means MUCH MUCH less dust floating around me. What this bag takes in, it KEEPS. I really can not see a single piece of dust coming out of this vacuum cleaner.
Lest you think I don’t HAVE dust, I have a chocolate lab that produces it’s weight every 10 days in shed hair, and a son that is learning to cook. I also live in Texas, so everything aquires a fine patina around here. *smiles*
The bags seem expensive, although Amazon is the cheapest we have found them. It is worth it to me to be able to keep going when my energy is up enough to vacuum, and for the lack of post vacuum dust that remains.
4 Stars Do What They Are Supposed To Do…
They collect dust! A little expensive, but they definitely don;t let fine particulate through the bag, and that is important!
3 Stars Pricey but Good
The bags work very well but I think they are a little on the pricey side.
5 Stars Love the vacuum!
I love my Hoover “Platinum Edition” vacuum cleaner. Yes, the bags are somewhat expensive, but the quality is great and Amazon was a better route to go than searching locally. I will be back for more.

3 Stars Very Loud
This is your basic vacuum cleaner.
Set up: Had some trouble pushing the 2 screws in because the holes were misaligned. Took some effort and time to finally get them through the holes. The screws were not a tight fit, meaning they didn’t screw in tightly into the washers.
Vacuum: Only used once.
PROS: As far as I can tell, the vacuum does a decent job. The accessories work. Small and lightweight. There is a pull on the vacuum which makes maneuvering it easier.
CONS:The cord and the hose are a bit short, as mentioned in previous reviews. It is also very, very loud. I am certain the people next door could hear me vacuuming through the walls. Unlike the vacuum described in the manual, there is no light indicator to tell you which areas are especially dirty or clean. So, you won’t know which areas to go over more than once. There is also no sounds indicating it’s actually picking up dirt. I did notice the vacuum sometimes didn’t pick up little pieces of dirt that I could visually see on the carpet, other times it did fine.
Overall, you get what you pay for.
4 Stars Great Vacuum and Great Value
I bought this vaccum while in grad school, figuring that for the low price, I’d be okay with it dying in a year or two. I was really impressed by the quality and the cleaning power. The way it was explained to me was that you might burn out a vacuum quickly in a large home, but for an apartment or condo or smaller home it probably has good lasting power. And mine lasted until I accidentally ran over a pair of socks and killed the gear or something like that. At that point, the repairs were too costly to be worth it, but I’m buying another and wont’ leave my things about when I’m vaccuming. If you need a 2nd vacuum or even a first for a smaller space, you won’t be let down by this. Good power, and yeah, it’s noisy but what vacuum cleaner isn’t?
5 Stars great product!
I reviewed all upright style vacuums on Consumer Reports, and this one rated near the top but was HUNDREDS of dollars less than the models that scored only a few points more. I was looking for a great functioning vacuum that was light enough for my kids to (hopefully) use, and this one is great. Is actually self propelled forward, bag is easily accessed, and is a GREAT BUY at $80. Love it.
4 Stars Cheap sweeper cleans up
Bargain sweeper that works. We use it at our buisness. It gets used and abused by all the employees. Works great and when it dies I buy a new one. Why pay three times the money for a fancy sweeper that doesnt do any better job?
5 Stars cheap, works great, box is theft target
Read a lot of reviews, watched prices, and bagged this vacuum for $65 with free shipping. The day it was supposed to arrive I got home and it wasn’t there. I reported it missing to Amazon and UPS, but no response from Amazon and UPS investigated but they only work with the shipper. After two weeks I contacted Amazon again using the chat option, asked what the status was, and the rep sent a second one with two-day shipping. This time I stayed home to catch the UPS guy and although he put it behind the gate, it was still visible and the box is big and colorful with pretty pictures of the vacuum to tempt your less-honest neighbors.
Unpacking and assembly were simple, although one of the bolts needed some force to get the nut started and the diagram of where to thread the power cord doesn’t match this model. Once I got it running I was amazed at the suction power. This could hold it’s own against my Rigid wet/dry vacuum. Fuzz that the old vacuum couldn’t touch was gone in a single pass, and you could feel it clinging to the carpet, trying to move on its own from the force of the brush. I used the extension wand under some furniture and it was just as good. All this and I forgot to mention that there is a crack in the hose (it works well but it’s not “high quality”). I did the whole house and there was a big scary ball of hair and fuzz in the bag.
This vacuum is great on short-nap or berber carpet, and probably great for any high-quality, dense carpeting. I would recommend it for pet hair. It might be too aggressive for cheap shag, but at this price I’d try it anyway. It’s not abnormally loud. You don’t need a light. The lower handle makes it easy to pick up the whole thing to do the stairs. I don’t understand the people who try to use a vacuum on hard surfaces - that’s what brooms, dust mops, and sweepers are for. At this price you can afford the right tool for both jobs. Definitely recommended for both initial performance and price.

5 Stars A review for people who are not clean freaks
First off, its important as a matter of perspective to note that I am NOT a clean freak, not by a long shot. I never even considered the possibility before that one vacuum could be better than another; if it had suction - good enough. It wasn’t until my last vacuum drove me absolutely insane with the constant changing of belts (1 to 3 belt changes per use, approx. 700 sq ft done per use with my old dirt devil) that i decided it was time for a major upgrade. It was the lifetime belt with its 6 year warranty on this hoover that prompted me to buy it, because I NEVER WANT TO CHANGE ANOTHER FRIGGIN’ BELT AGAIN. From what I can gather, it sounds like Hoover never expects you to have to change this belt, which is pretty awesome. I never dreamed that there would be other reasons to love this vacuum. Boy was I wrong.
This vacuum does more than pick up crumbs from the floor. It actually makes your carpet feel cleaner. I think my carpet got a shade or two brighter than I’ve ever seen it before. I have some fairly heavy duty kitty litter piles that get embedded in my carpet. Not only does it pick them right up, but it does it without flinging the cat litter all over the room in the process!
One of the major deterrents that always kept me from wanting to vacuum before was that my allergies (which normally aren’t that bad at all) would go bonkers - itchy eyes, burning sinuses, not pleasant. When I use my new hoover - there are NO unpleasant side effects. It’s incredible. Some vacuums claim they are picking up 99.9% of dust, but they don’t specify where that dust goes after they pick it up (i.e. “sure we pick up ALL the dust, but then we just fling it back up into the air so you can breathe it all in and feel sick”). This vacuum REALLY picks it up, no flinging of dust here, not that my sinuses can detect anyway. Feeling less sick when cleaning - priceless.
False claims abound about vacuums having an automatic shutoff when something gets caught in the brushroll; this one was honest about that too - have already tested it (by accident) and it was really on the ball - a super-quick shutoff to keep stuff from getting damaged - very cool. It is also quieter than most vacuums so no terrified kitties here. I could actually hold a conversation while I vacuumed, so that’s pretty damn quiet for a vacuum.
Now about the little shoulderstrap additional vacuum that comes with all the attachments - I have yet to find a way to wear it that doesn’t blow hot air on your butt which is somewhat unpleasant especially on a hot day. So slight downside there. But overall I find it highly satisfying - you really feel like you’re accomplishing something with this little thing. It gives you so much maneuverability and you don’t have to worry about keeping an eye on the stupid floorvac while it tries to wrap its brushroll around everything in the house everytime your back is turned. Its so much less of a hassle for me that I find myself vacuuming things I never would have even dreamed of vacuuming before. I was never much of a duster, but I find myself hunting down more things to conquer with my vacuum backpack. The dusting brush works much better when you angle it flat against the surface you’re trying to dust - sometimes you have to push it down a bit to make sure its flat enough to get suction (this is probably quite normal - i don’t really have a basis for vacuum dusting comparison).
Anyway, just thought it important to note that even if you don’t think a vacuum upgrade could improve your life - you might not have realized all the things a really great vacuum can do for you. Hopefully I have given all the cleaning slackers an easier to relate to perspective about this vacuum. Its definitely worth paying a bit more for a vacuum when you get results like this.
5 Stars At last, a terrific vac design!!
After many years of hating vacuum cleaners, tripping over cords, drugging heavy bulky vacs up and down stairs and along hallways, there’s finally a vacuum cleaner that solves most of these problems! This two-part vac is an ingenious design. A lightweight vac for floors and carpets, and another small shoulder unit for hard to reach places. No more dragging the upright around to reach blinds, window ledges, furniture crevices or other hard to reach places that I mostly ignored. This machine is vacuum cleaner bliss, if that’s possible!
A lot of market research must have gone into the design of this vacuum set. There are lots of convenience features such as the telescoping wand and the way parts fit together. Very well designed, attractive and well made machines. Not junky like some recent Hoover machines. And the price was great. ($208 at Amazon checkout, August 2010) I have large wool area rugs, vinyl and laminate flooring. This vac works great on all of them.
The design and quality of this two vacuum set is far superior to the older Hoover WindTunnel I had before. This older unit still has good suction, but I hated the heavy bulkiness, manual floor adjustment and poorly designed tool caddy. In that unit the tool cover was always flopping open, tools falling out, and finally the on-off switch quit working. That’s when I read the reviews for this dual set and decided to buy it. I hope Hoover keeps this vac set in production! After 40 years, I finally found a vac I like. Note: You can get velcro pads for shoulder straps (sold for seat belts) at auto supply stores.
4 Stars It’s a keeper!
We checked out Consumer Reports’ listings & went to look at the top 4: ‘best buy’ & ‘recommended’ models. This ‘recommended’ Hoover model made the cut. The idea of a separate unit for floors, walls, etc., was very appealing. The main unit is very lightweight but has excellent suction. It is easily maneuverable, although I do miss the rotating front wheels on the Dirt Devil which made it super easy to steer. (Considering how heavy that sucker was (no pun intended!), they were a great feature.) And I do think it may be the quietest vacuum I’ve ever heard! (This model was even rated higher than the tested Kirby which is nice considering the investment you can make in one of those.) After reading reviews here, I’m very glad we bought this model! [I just wish I'd remembered I saved one to the shopping cart; we could've saved quite a bit!

1 Star Terrible vac & SUCKY HOOVER customer “service”
My first vac arrived with a malfunction - the change bag light was on & the light would not turn off despite removing and re-installing the bag. In addition, the vac would simply turn off repeatedly when I tried to vacuum. So I contacted Hoover’s ‘Platinum’ customer ’service’ & explained the issue. The Hoover rep (Rebecca) stated there had been a problem with the circuit board in this model & offered a replacement unit. Fine. So the 2nd unit arrives & it has the SAME PROBLEM…right out of the box! Again, I contact Hoover’s customer ’service’ & the rep says I can 1) Request a refund 2) She can send a ‘tested’ unit out(vac #3!!!!), but I have to send back at least one of the 2 units I have before they’ll process the 3rd vac. The rep was definitely trying to persuade me to take the 3rd unit & not the refund. I said I’d pretty much had it with the flawed units/waiting/dealing with this ongoing problem & was inclined to take the refund. She said she’d send labels out for both unit returns. Fine. So she sends ONE label to me & I send her ONE unit. I called Hoover customer ’service’(Brittany)to request the return label for the refund of the remaining unit & I’m told THEY WON’T ISSUE A REFUND FOR THE REMAINING MALFUNCTIONING UNIT!!!! I was shocked! According to ‘their’ notes, I had said I was cool with just getting a 3rd unit & not the refund. NOT TRUE!!!! I stated I never agreed to a 3rd unit & wanted a refund. The Hoover rep said they don’t DO refunds. I asked for a manager (Lisa)and was directed to a voice mail graveyard where my refund request message sits & rots. I think this is sick, considering the cost of the unit, the time wasted, & the level of irritation. HOOVER Customer ’service’ SUCKS & not in a good way!!!! These units ARRIVED BROKEN!!!! The Hoover rep ADMITTED there’s a circuit board problem!!!! I would expect more from Hoover. Shame! Shame! I’ll be making it a point to tell EVERYONE about my terrible experience with Hoover & their poor quality control!!!!
4 Stars happy with purchase
For the same price about 7 years ago, I bought a sears progressive and never found that it did a good job.
I’m thrilled with the hoover platinum. It seems to be well made, does a great job on floors and carpets, not too loud and I love the canister as well for ceilings, baseboards and corners, though it isn’t incredibly comfortable - you have to wear a t-shirt -i tried with a tank and the strap rubbed against my skin. I like that the upright doesn’t use tools attached and that the canister is separate. I hope it holds up well. I’m really happy with my purchse. I waited too long to get a new one. glad to retire the sears vaccuum.

5 Stars Bags and Vacuum work great
Just got the Vacuum from Best Buy. They didn’t sell the bags for the vacuum there (go figure), so I bought them on Amazon. They came quickly and the vacuum works great. I haven’t bought a vacuum in years. This one was relatively inexpensive, as were the bags. Every thing is fine so far!
5 Stars Good bags
These bags are a good price replacement bag for my vacuum. This is the second time I’ve ordered them. They are strong and thick. They pick up the dust–even fine chalky dust from doing house renovations. I recommend them.
5 Stars Beats the store price
I can find only a limited selection of vacuum bags in my local stores, so when I found them on line, and at such a great price, I was thrilled. Now I only get them from online sources. I change my bags often, and I think paying $3 a bag is ridiculous. These bags work great and I can buy them from home.
4 Stars Type Y Vacuum Bags
Bags fit fine, no problem. Vacuum seemed to have extra vacuum power with these bags. Felt a little more resistance to forward motion, which I am guessing is the extra vacuum suction. Possible cleaning carpets better. Since the operation seemed a little different, only gave them a four star rating.
5 Stars Hoover Y bags
I purchased this for someone else and was told that they work real well with the Hoover vacuum.
