 An Average product, you get what you paid for. June 26, 2005

I needed a vacuum cleaner that needed to have good suction and above all portability. I knew that if the vacuum cleaner was heavy and bulky - like those floor models, my chances of lugging it around at the end of a hard work day would be very rare. So portability was my first concern.
The Hoover telios was my obvious choice for that reason. I paid $89.99 + tax for it.
It was cheesy red in color and like all other vacuum cleaners, its plasticky look was not appealing. But there were features here that seemed interesting. First it has a storage compartment in the front for brushes, etc for spot cleaning, etc. Then a hose connects to the front and that is connected to a metal wand. At the end of the metal wand is the floor attachment.
It has a bag for storing the trash it sucks up. I think those bags will increase the operating cost of the vacuum. I dont know for sure, never purchased vacuum cleaner bags before.
Operation: The vacuum cleaner has moderate suction power. I honestly think if it was a bit more, it would be better, since some times I do find fine ash particles still in the carpet fibers even after running the vacuum cleaner over the particular spot several times. But its not weak. A lady had written she considered a vacuum to have good suction if it could suck a penny up. This vacuum cleaner does that.
The problem with this model is that its metal wand keeps popping off the hose! And that is super irritating!! I got tired of having to bend down and reattach the bloody thing. The people at hoover dont have a good design sense... the metal wand is just pushed in to the hose... there is no threading or locking mechanism. So I did what was my only recourse... I got a bloody glue gun and hot glued the metal wand to the hose for good. This pretty much means I cannot use this infernal machine for anything other than floor cleaning... no way to attach those fancy brushes in the front compartment.
I am not happy with it. I wish there was a better option in canister vacuums.
Dont buy it unless you absolutely have to!
Addendum: After about 3 months of using this machine, I have already purchased a hand-held vaccum cleaner and a dyson animal. this one is in the loft gathering dust. It had low suction power, bad engineering design, and significant cost of operation (the bags), just not a winning combination.
Dont buy it. Period!

 Wand Failure January 13, 2005

This vacuum has good cleaning power, however, the wand continually fell apart when in use. Also the swivel hose attached to the main casing popped off several times as I pulled the vacuum along. For my particular use (very low-grade carpet) the wheels were set too high. Just didn't work for me!
 Major design flaw with this unit December 27, 2005

I just got the Hoover S3332 as a Christmas present this year to replace my broken vacuum cleaner. I hate to say it, but my broken vacuum cleaner works better.
The main problem has already been described by other reviewers: THE WAND CONSTANTLY BREAKS OFF FROM THE HOSE. While cleaning the living room, it happened no less than 8 times. This wasn't because I was treating it roughly or twisting it around or some such. There literally is no locking mechanism, so it barely takes anything to make the wand fly out.
This is really, really annoying. I could glue-gun them together, like some people have described, but that would render the main point of this unit useless (all the neat little brushes). This is a major design flaw - it's hard to comprehend how the people at Hoover missed this.
On another note, the suction power is just moderate. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it was definitely more than this. It can suck up a penny, but it can't suck up some lint that has fallen between the cracks in a hardwood floor. Said lint can easily be removed by one's hand (i.e. it's not gelled in or something).
Please give serious consideration before buying this unit. It's not worth it.

I agree with the other reviewers. The wand constantly separates from the hose while vacuuming. Short of glueing it on I see no other way to keep it in place. Very annoying! Plus, glueing,as other reviewers state defeats the whole purpose of having a canister vacuum. Don't waste your money. It's true that you get what you pay for but if what you have to pay with is all you have you've lost all the way around. I've had two fantastic canister vacuums in my lifetime one was the Electrolux (the old steel model) and a Singer (no longer manufactured) they were great.
I wish I had the reviews before I bought...My fault September 10, 2006

I replaced a Hoover I had for years and loved. The model I had is no longer made or I would have just gotten it again. The fact we are down to carpet in just the den made me think I didn't need an expensive canister so I bought this one. The wand keeps falling off and it might pick up a penny, but it won't pick up a toothpick or a band-aid wrapper is very true. The suction is very low. However, I do use it on my baseboards. I'm in the market for another canister but I don't this is will be this brand again.
