If you're planning on spending that much for a vacuum, I recommend a Rainbow. I've owned 2 in the last 30 years. I bought my first one when my DH & I were first married because he has allergies. When my sister passed away, I got hers, it was newer than mine, I passed my old one down to my daughter.
We like dogs, but of course, they shed. The Rainbow uses water instead of changing bags. All the dirt, hair and flying stuff gets into the water instead of going back in the air. You dump the canister, rinse it and its ready for the next use. It completely changes the air in a room in 10 minutes, and it is awesome on pet hair!
Oops, now I realize you said a Hoover, my mind went to a Kirby. Had one of those once, wouldn't take another if it was given to me. It wore me out and I was young when I had it.
