The Hoover U5140-900 Tempo Widepath is an upright vacuum cleaner that uses a bag.
The cleaning path is 15 inches wide which means you cover the area more quickly and get your hose cleaned sooner.
Hoover have put an allergen filtration system into this vacuum cleaner so that the air it sucks in is filtered before it is pumped back out of the machine. The filtration system removes 100% of dust mites and 99.9% ragweed and grass pollen, meaning those who suffer from asthma or allergy will have cleaner air to breathe after you vacuum your house.
The Hoover U5140-900 Tempo has a powerful 12 amp motor which creates fantastic suction.
The Hoover Widepath Tempo also has a useful headlight so you can see the area in front of the vacuum.
The attachments store on the machine itself, so there’s no more hunting around (as long as you put them back once you have finished with them) for the attachements when you come to a tricky part of your carpet. The tools include:
- dusting brush
- furniture nozzle
- crevice tool
- two extension wands

Reviewers of the Hoover Tempo Widepath liked:
- The price
- Air coming out of the vacuum smells fresh and is clean thanks to the allergen filtration system.
- Cheap bags and replacement belts
- Great suction
- Quite light
- Attachements
.. and what they didn’t like:
- The handle is not really long enough for tall people.
- Noisy
- Small bag
- Heavy (which contradicts what others say, but then I think it depends what you are coming from).
- Hose is a little short.
- Spits out bigger chunks when vacuuming hard wood floors as the brush doesn’t turn off.


A retro looking vacuum cleaner but there is nothing wrong with its suction. Its not as good on hard wood flooring because it tends to spit out larger bits of dirt, but its a small point. The air it throws out is really clean. Overall this is a great vacuum at an amazing price.
