Hoover S1156 Sidewinder Hand Vac, Metallic Gold Details
Product Description
A Versatile Hand Vac for Home & Shop - Exclusive 90" Swivel Nozzle - Powered Brush Roll - Bagless Design - E-Z Empty Dirt Cup - Washable Filter - 20' Power Cord
Amazon.com
Sturdy as a belt sander, the Sidewinder Hand Vac is an all-purpose household tool with a cleverly helpful feature--a nozzle that swivels 90 degrees to provide more flexibility in vacuuming hard-to-reach spots. This is helpful in vacuuming out tricky spaces, such as between moldings and doorjambs, or the concavities of recessed windows. The Sidewinder also has a powered brush roll, especially useful on rugs or fabrics.
The Sidewinder has a 20-foot power cord, a workable length for most any household room. The body of the hand vacuum is made of sturdy glitter-gold plastic, and the transparent collector receptacle end is a darker, smoky-gray in color. Its removable filter is made of a long-life, washable plastic weave. The ergonomically molded handle is designed so that the on/off button is in a comfortable position to be used with one hand.
Cleaning the Sidewinder Hand Vac is very easy. The collector cup detaches for easy emptying, and the filter is removable and can be washed in warm, soapy water. (The filter should be entirely dry before being replaced in the vacuum cleaner.) The motor/handle section is not immersible, and it is not advisable to put any of the components in the dishwasher. The Sidewinder measures 13 by 6 by 8-1/4 inches. Hoover products include a one-year warranty against defects and come with a detailed instruction booklet. --Garland Withers

Hoover S1156 Sidewinder Hand Vac, Metallic Gold Reviews
| 53 of 53 people found the following review helpful  What Dirt Devil should have built, By Marty "Marty" (Ohio) - See all my reviews This review is from: Hoover S1156 Sidewinder Hand Vac, Metallic Gold (Kitchen) After dissatisfaction with several Dirt Devil models, I found the Hoover Sidewinder to be what I was looking for. Simple, bagless, and the brush is belt-driven off the motor so it keeps turning even when picking up moderately heavy debris. I keep it near the cat's area for sweeping up excess litter and dry catfood chunks. This quickly brought the Dirt Devils' vacuum-driven brushes to a halt but not the Sidewinder, and the Sidewinder was less expensive. 20 of 21 people found the following review helpful  Not impressed, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Hoover S1156 Sidewinder Hand Vac, Metallic Gold (Kitchen) The Hoover sidewinder I purchased was used for the carpeted steps in my home. On the first use, the rotating brush stopped working and the machine began to smoke. When I called Hoover unsatisfied, they refused to take the machine back and told me to go get it serviced. I did this, and on the second use I had the same problem. The suction was great, but the brush kept getting stuck. I had to manually get it rotating after vaccuming each step. I once again was told to get it serviced....the service man said that the belt was stretched out. I was shocked that after 2 uses it needed a new belt.I am so unhappy with this product and with customer service of Hoover. Obviously the machine is defective, and yet they won't refund my money or exchange the product. 20 of 21 people found the following review helpful  Livestrong writ band works as a belt, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Hoover S1156 Sidewinder Hand Vac, Metallic Gold (Kitchen) We bought our vacuum cleaner 2 and a half months ago to vacuum out dinning room carpet, which we do once a week. Last week the rubber belt broke. This was after around 10 brief uses!!!I went on the Hoover site, and the belt would cost $4, plus $6 dollars shipping....Well it turns out I've replaced it with one of those Livestrong yellow wristbands (now you can even find those types of wristbands of any color selling on the streets by $1) and the vacuum works perfectly! What does that tell us about the cost of their technical support and durability of their parts? I leave it to you to conclude on that. |
