Hoover U54219RM Reconditioned Windtunnel Bagged Upright Review

Hoover U54219RM Reconditioned Windtunnel Bagged Upright Review from Big Daddy. For the price its a steal, I was pretty excited to try this vacuum out after reading the reviews and for the first little while it worked fine.After about 2 weeks of using the vacuum the roller seized up and the belt broke. I replaced the belt but the roller would not turn. After taking a closer look I realized a major flaw. (I’ll try to explain it with my limited knowledge of vacuum part names), there are 2 parts of the roller cylinder: A) the part turned by the belt and the center piece that has the brushes and stuff.
If the roller gets any hair or dirt wrapped up in it, it causes resistance in which causes the belt part of the roller to turn and not the brush part. Unfortunately the end pieces of the cylinder are threaded on with screws that expand if the belt turns without the brushes and causes more resistance because the screws get so tight the brushes wont turn anymore. In other words, if the brushes stall for any reason, the vacuum cylinder winds up tighter and tighter so it seizes up and requires you to take it apart.
I dont know if this makes sense to anyone but me but the bottom line is this vacuum has a poor design and wont last and requires a ton of maintenance to keep it working.
