Hoover® FloorSense™ Technology

Hoover ® REACT ™ with FloorSense ™ Technology automatically optimizes cleaning performance on carpets and hard floors. On carpet, FloorSense ™ automatically increases the brush roll speed to lift deep-down embedded dirt. On hard floors, FloorSense ™ automatically slows the brush roll to prevent scattering of dirt across the floor. The Hoover ® Dashboard in the Handheld displays useful functions of your vacuum. When FloorSense ™ is active, the dashboard will illuminate indicating "FloorSense".
