disappointing JUNK!!
Incredibly frustrating! My family has owned Hoovers for decades, and I bought this with that formerly stellar reputation in mind. I've had this for 7 months, and, being a bachelor, have used it only 4 times(I don't clean much huh?) today it sucked up a penny and rattled for not much more than 6-8 seconds before I shut it off. It now will NOT agitate whatsoever, the motor spins and grinds the gears relentlessly, even after I tore it apart, lubed the gears and outer bearings with Dry-Slide, and rest the breaker. I can spin the agitators by hand, but this 12 AMP motor can't!. What a piece of s**t!!!!!
