I have had this vac for a year now and I need to replace it. PROS: Great suction and telescoping wand. Cleaning head for rug and floor are pretty decent. I like the way the vac head could clip on to the vac which kept the hose upright and in place which is a plus while in closet. CONS: Big one: The metal wand constantly falls off. There is no way to make the metal telescoping wand stay attached to plastic hose. This is a problem for all Hoover small cannister vacs. 2nd Con: Today the retractable cord retracted but must have gone off its track inside vacuum and now I can't get the cord to unwind. I have looked the whole casing over and there is not a screw in sight that would let you gain access to fix the cord. 3rd and my fault, used the vac to clean car and must have stepped on metal wand and dented it. I can not get the metal wand to extend now. It's jammed good. My fault and was going to call Hoover to get new wand, but now the cord is jammed also. The nearest authorized Hoover repair place is too far away for me. 4th con: the only extra attachment is a crevice tool with a removable brush head. There is no upholstery brush which I dearly miss. Last con: Although wheels in the rear of vac are large and sturdy, there is one small wheel in front and the vac tips over constantly. All in all, I thought the vac cleaned well, but I would not purchase again. Pretty ugly color too!Get more detail about Hoover S1361 Compact Canister Vacuum.
