Setup/Care
Dirt Cup:
Empty the dirt cup at the end of each cleaning session and before the dirt reaches the fill line.
Umbrella Tube:
Check the umbrella tube (located inside dirt cup) on a monthly basis and clean when it is wrapped with debris. Check more frequently if cleaning up pet hair or you have family members with long hair.
Lifetime Primary Filter:
It is recommended that the Primary Filter (located on the canister behind the dirt cup) be checked and washed in cold water periodically depending on the frequency of use and volume of dirt being picked up on each cleaning. Make sure filter is completely dry before putting it back in vacuum.
HEPA Exhaust Filter:
The HEPA filter is indented to be a lifetime filter. Inspect HEPA filter at the same time Primary filter is cleaned. Over time, it is normal for the HEPA filter to turn gray. If HEPA filter appears visibly dirty clean it by gently tapping it against the inside of a trash bin or vacuuming on lowest suction power to remove excess dust and debris.
Reviews
Expert Review
The Hoover S3865 is a great vacuum for anyone who hates replacement bags and filters. It comes with a full range of cleaning tools including a 14 inch power brush with 4 carpet height adjustments great for all carpet types, a horse hair bare floor tool for delicate hardwood, tile or parquet floors, a handheld turbo brush ideal for removing pet hair from furniture and stairs, and 2 standard accessory tools for dusting and cleaning corners. This vacuum represents a good value buy and is protected with a long 6 year warranty. A couple of minuses about this vacuum is its heavy weight and single speed suction which could make it hard to clean small, lightweight rugs or curtains. Overall we feel it is truly worthy of a solid 4 star rating.
