The Tempo WidePath features a 15-inch cleaning path for super fast vacuuming when you need it the most. Plus, the WidePath cleans indoor air while you vacuum, thanks to an innovative allergen filtration system that traps 100 percent of dust mites, 99.98 percent of ragweed, and common grass pollens for cleaner breathing and fresher air. A powerful, 12 amp motor provides ample suction and doesn't leave anything behind. A brilliant headlight illuminates the cleaning path to ensure thorough vacuuming. Onboard tool storage keeps attachments, such as a dusting brush, furniture nozzle, crevice tool, and two extension wands in close reach. A smaller profile (approximately 33-1/4 by 18-1/2 by 9-1/2 inches) and lighter overall weight makes the Tempo WidePath easy to push, and easier to maneuver around and under furniture, too. And, your purchase is covered by a Hoover one-year warranty. Get a Tempo WidePath, and never get behind on the housework again! --Brian Olson

 Great value Hoover December 2, 2008

This vacuum works better than the Hoover that I spent three times as much to buy! Works great on wood floors and on my carpets. You have to assemble it and the screws used to hold the handle on fell to the bottom of the box and were very hard to find. Once they were in, handle is great. When I first used the hose on my stairs, I was a little confused b/c there is no lid over what looks to be the intake. It didn't matter though, everything went inside the bag as it was supposed to. I'm happy with my purchase.
Works as expected December 1, 2008

 Doesn't Pick Up Dirt That Well November 27, 2008
Jay
I purchased this vacuum cleaner to replace a Hoover Sprint Vacuum I used for 6 years. The Tempo Widepath does a poor job of picking up any dirt particles. I actually did a test between the Hoover Sprint and the Hoover Tempo Widepath. The Sprint picks up everything but the Tempo Widepath leaves the dirt on the carpet. They don't make things like they used to.
A little better engineering, please November 26, 2008

The vacuum appears to work well, but my initial impression was that the vacuum and the package it came in were hastily engineered.
The box arrived with a lot of things rattling around inside - like two bolts and one nut that were supposed to be in a small plastic bag taped to the bag door. The bag wasn't torn, so maybe the packer just threw them in the box. One of the nuts escaped in transit, the other was hiding under a flap in the bottom of the box.
Cord storage is poorly thought out. Very cumbersome and the clip on the plug is too small to fit over the electric cord. The manual talks about a feature called DirtFINDER which doesn't exist. My guess is that later versions of this model removed it to save a few pennies. Likely the cord was replaced with a thicker one and nobody re-engineered the plug clip.
As others have noted, the on/off switch is well out of reach down on the bag door. This was probably a compromise that allowed the handle to be detached for shipping, but a better solution would have been a foot switch.
But it works and has a bag. I've discarded two Kenmore bagless because they clogged up with dirt somewhere down in the motor housing and lost suction. The first one lasted a few months until Christmas tree needles destroyed it. The second one (a gift, needless to say) lasted about two years.
I hope this vacuum lasts me a long time, but if not, I'll buy another bagged vacuum in the future.
