The Hoover Mach 3 Cyclonic Bagless Upright U5180910 is a powerful vacuum cleaner with cyclonic air movement technology. For under $100 dollars it is a terrific machine, especially when it really doesn’t require bags or filters that need to be replaced in the future. A lifetime of washable filters (3) is included with the machine.

The Mach 3 Cyclonic Bagless Upright has a 15" Widepath Nozzle with a 32’ cleaning reach. The power cord is 24’ long and there is an 8’ stretch hose. The on-board tool set includes two 14" extension wands, a crevice tool and a dusting brush. A powered pet hair cleaning tool is a nice addition that works really well for cleaning upholstery and stairs. The telescopic handle is adjustable to the height of the operator and the on and off switch is located conveniently right below the grip of the handle for easy access. A headlight is included on the base of the model so that visibility is enhanced in darker areas and tight corners.

This machine is really a good value when taking into consideration how versatile and well-designed it is and the fact that there is a 1-year warranty included. The floor path width is very generous at 15", which is great for larger rooms and hallways, and the 24’cord is an improvement over the standard 20’ found on a lot of residential uprights. The wider path means fewer passes are required to cover a room and the extra cord length means less time plugging and unplugging and increases efficiency. The fact that this unit is bagless and includes a lifetime of washable filters means that there really aren’t any more expenses other than vacuum cleaner belts. The belts on this machine are readily available and fairly inexpensive. The great thing is that they are also easy to change. Access to the bottom of the unit is nicely gained by utilizing a coin to pry open the coin slot type locks on the sides of the base of the machine. The brush roller agitator is also accessed in this way for times when the roller needs to be cleaned due to strings or hair becoming wrapped around the agitator.

There are a few drawbacks to the Hoover Mach 3 Cyclonic Bagless Upright. The main drawback is that this model does not feature a HEPA filter, which may be a problem for allergy sufferers, but there is a filter, nonetheless. Ways to improve the efficiency of the filter that is included would be to stay on top of washing it out on a regular basis so that it remains clean and unblocked. Another potential problem with this vacuum cleaner is that the dirt cup needs to be emptied rather frequently especially after cleaning high debris areas. These issues can be a hassle, but the flipside is saving money on both vacuum cleaner bags and filters. The power hand tool can become hot to the touch after prolonged use, but for residential use, it seems like a sturdy enough accessory, particularly for the price.

Overall, the Hoover Mach 3 Cyclonic Bagless Upright U5180910 is a great vacuum cleaner for the money. With plenty of power due to cyclonic air technology, an accessory kit with a handy power tool, bagless feature and user-friendly features, this model is a real value for the money, especially when you factor in the one year warranty. A handsome, well-built machine, this is yet another great vacuum from the Hoover line.
