Hoover Commercial HushTone Upright Vacuum

The vacuum operates at 69 dB in quiet mode, making it quieter than most standard upright vacuums. This noise level suits use in noise-sensitive environments.

It features swivel steering for navigation around furniture and tight spaces. The design handles well during regular cleaning.

Yes. The vacuum removes dirt, debris, and pet hair from both carpets and hard floors. The 2-speed motor with Boost Mode provides extra power for tougher cleaning tasks.

For pet hair, look for strong suction (roughly 20,000 Pa or more on a robot vacuum, 150 AW or more on a cordless), a tangle-resistant brush roll, a dedicated pet tool, and HEPA filtration, which by definition captures 99.97% of particles at 0.3 microns. Dyson, Shark and Bissell all make well-reviewed pet models. Use the Pet Hair Specialist filter on our comparison table to see which ones are in stock and what they cost right now.

Most manufacturers suggest replacing filters every 3 to 6 months, depending on how often you vacuum and whether you have pets. HEPA filters usually last 12 to 18 months if you clean them regularly. Washable foam filters on bagless models should be rinsed every 1 to 2 weeks and dried fully before going back in. Replacements typically run $15 to $50. A clogged filter chokes airflow, so suction drops noticeably well before the filter looks dirty.
