Hoover “Z” 700 Bagless Upright vacuum is the world’s first Sport Utility Vacuum. The patent pending Z-fold design offers the performance of an upright and the flexibility and stability of a canister. The patent pending Self-Cleaning Hepa filter cleans itself every 6 seconds. Fine dirt and dust are trapped by the filter as it rotates while the larger particles fall into the dirt cup. As it reaches the cleaning position, a combination of reverse flow and gentle tapping releases the fine dirt and dust from the filter. Dirt and dust fall into the dirt cup. The filter continues to turn and the next section is cleaned. The DigiTouch Control Pad allows for the ease of simply touching the desired setting and having it automatically adjust the On/Off switch, Automatic Carpet Height Settings, Automatic Hard Surface Settings, Gentle brush settings, and diagnostic indicators. The Telescoping Quick Release Wand with Super Stretch Hose gives you 20 feet of cleaning reach for easy stair clea

Definitely a very good vacuum cleaner,
I’ve had my Hoover 700 for 6 weeks now and everytime I use it I tell myself I should add my review for this cleaning machine. I think buying a new vacuum cleaner is like buying a car… you know your going to be using it for quite awhile and you definitely want to make the right choice!
Overall, I’m more than happy that I chose this machine. After using it quite a bit I have only found a couple things I’m not overly happy with.
Here are my positives:
1) Does a great job of cleaning. I’m very satisfied with the basic job it does vacuuming. To be honest, I don’t see how any other machine could do a better job. I replaced an 9 year old Hoover with this one and this EASILY out performs my old one (and I remember paying about $300 for it).
2) The wide tread is really a bonus and my carpet looks much better after cleaning… with the wheel’s far to the outside the carpet ends up being fluffed up uniformly .. doesn’t have much of the … ‘hey, I just vacuumed 2 minutes ago’ look.
3) the conversion from canister to upright really does give you the best of both worlds. If you vacuum stairs this machine is a no brainer. In the folded position it is way stable.
4) The big surprise feature that I didn’t know it had was an automatic shutoff if the brush becomes ‘jammed’. I guess I’m a littel lazy sometimes and I will leave a pair of shoes out and kind of push them out of the way as i vacumm. Well, sometimes I catch the laces and this machine will detect the resistance and shut off!! I’ve ruined many laces over the years and had a hard time getting them out of my old machine. Well, I caught some laces again and the vacuum quickly shut down. GREAT bonus feature!!!
5) This maybe a common feature but I didn’t have it on my old vacuum. When you put this vacuum in the hardfloor setting the brush’s stop so now I’m not shooting small pieces dirt around on my kitchen floor.
6) I didn’t think looks was important but I really like the fact that this doesn’t look like a standard vacuum. I have a bird and I vacuum the family room everyday.. first thing when I get home from work. I leave this Hoover out many times and when it is in it’s folded position it is very unobtrusive. This is another real plus… it doesn’t look like you have a vacuum sitting out.
7) It is much quieter than other vacuums I’ve tried.
8) I like the material the power cord is made out of. It is very pliable and has a slick coating… it does not tend to want to tangle like my old machine (big plus).
9) The telescoping handle is great even in the upright position. It really lets you clean a big area from one standing area.
10) The hose on this machine is very well designed… really pliable and expandable but kind of folds back into itself.. I’m sure alot of effort went into its design. Neat.
My not so positives:
1) The power cord/attachment compartment is too small for this model with the power cleaning attachment inside. You have to be very carfull how you wrap the cord and where the plug is located if you want to latch the cover down with no issues. My solution is to not store the power cleaning attachment in the compartment. Definitely not a plus.
2) Sometimes I have to giggle the machine by the handle to get the machine to release and fold down when I’m done with it… It seems to want to be in just the right upright position for that task.
3) The on board self cleaning filter is supposed to never need changing so this may not be a minus but if you ever do WANT to replace it, the instructions indicate it is not a task you can do at home.. you have to take it to a Hoover Service center.
Neutral:
1) The vacuum does take a little upper arm strengh to opperate. If you have very little I don’t think this vacuum is for you however it is not that bad (although first reaction is that the vacuum is ‘heavy’ it soon does not seem to be an issue). But, I don’t think I would like this vacuum as much if it was super light weight. I like it’s stability in the folded position when I’m using the hose.. and I think the weight helps in the quailty of it’s cleaning power… so it is a dual edged sword.
If you have a little upper arm strength I think this is a vacuum definitely worth the investment (again if you vacuum stairs too this machine is almost a no brainer).

|Hoover Z 700 Bagless Vacuum,
I have never felt compelled to write a review on any other product before, but I would like to share my opinion about my new Hoover Z 700. I absolutely love it! Plus I should say right off the bat that I got mine at Best Buy for a full $100.00 cheaper than everywhere else I price checked!
It’s everything it advertises, has more than adequate suction and is extremely versatile. It’s especially useful for use on stairs. I previously had an old WindTunnel that has served me well over the years. Mind you, I vacuumed every week with my old machine, but the first time I used my Hoover Z….I had to empty the dirt cup 5-6 times! I was astonished. I considered my new vacuum purchase for a long time and was leaning toward the Dyson Animal. I’m definitely happy with my purchase of the Hoover Z….it performs like I’d wanted and the price was much cheaper than the Dyson. It’s surprisingly quieter than vacuums I had in the past and didnt scare my cats to death like my old one. Plus, asthetically….it looks really cool.
The only cons in my opinion are that it’s a little heavy…and the motorized brush pet hair tool is not as great as I expected.
