Our take on the Hoover MAXLife Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner

The Hoover MAXLife PowerDrive Swivel XL Pet is a bagless upright vacuum built for homes with heavy-shedding pets. It uses WindTunnel edge-to-edge suction, a HEPA-media filter rated to capture 99.97% of dust and particles, and an antimicrobial brush roll with a carbon pet filter to cut pet odor. Its swivel steering and multi-floor design make it easier to move around furniture than fixed-head uprights. It suits carpeted homes with dogs or cats; it is heavier and bulkier than compact stick vacuums, so stairs and tight closets are less convenient.
