Hoover HandiVac- thoughts?

[jaker15]

Hey all! I just bought a Hoover HandiVac S2007 off of eBay, and I'm pretty excited! I have a couple of questions about it, can anyone shed some light on this machine?


 


First, what is the suction power like? Is it ridiculously powerful for its size, or nothing too spectacular? Is it enough for light cleaning of rugs and bare floors? 


Second, can I use standard Hoover canister tools (the ones with the locking pin) with the HandiVac? It would be cool if I could clean the stairs or upholstery with it. 


Lastly, how loud is the HandiVac? Is it a screamer, or is it not too bad? 


 


Let me know what you guys and gals think!

I have MANY of them!! Both the short and tall bag housing.

I love them. HOOVER didn't skimp... same handle and grip as a Convertible. The tools are the same as the others. The bag is easy to change. They're not TOO loud.... not a screech!!
The tool suction is very good. It's great for bare floor AND not terrible on carpets.

I love them. I hope you will, too.
They're great (w/tools) for cars and stairs.
Can you tell I like them?

You'll need the tools for it.

It's an ultraflex hose.. connector is made for the machine.... others won't fit.

Tools

It would be lovely to have the tools for it. It didn't come with any, I'll have to search for them.

You wouldn't happen to have an extra hose for a HandiVac, would you?
