Hoover Empower Vacuum
Maybe 3-year-old Hoover Empower Vacuum. Bagless upright. HEPA filter replaced with washable HEPA filter. All attachments fit onto vacuum and are included. Machine works great but NEEDS A NEW POWER CORD. Existing cord is cracked and/or worn in a few places and is not really safe to operate in its current condition.
