Packs a Punch
|Posted .I have to say that I am really impressed by this vacuum. My old vac broke and needed replacing. I ordered this and got two canister fulls of dust from around my house with little effort. Set up was easy and this is a much better product than the old vacuum I'd held on to past its prime. Incredibly happy with this purchase.

The best vacuum ever
|Posted .Pros mentioned:Cleaning, Pet hair, Use on carpetI just got a new house. Had the carpets cleaned by a company. Bought this vacuum cleaner from Best Buy the first time I used it I pulled up a pile of dog hair out of the cleaned carpets. Unbelievable. This machine is awesome. I am getting less hair every time I vacuum now but I'm still getting hair. Don't look at another vacuum get this one.

Light weight vacuum, plenty of suction.
|Posted .Pros mentioned:SuctionWe had a Hoover Dual V for 10 or 12 years that we gave to our son. We decided to buy a Dyson, but using the attachments with the Dyson was a pain, you have to pull the wand out of the handle to use them and with a 3 foot non removable wand it's hard to get in tight areas. My wife decided she wanted another Hoover so we purchased this one. For less than half the price of the Dyson with the same performance and much easier use of the attachments I'd recommend the Hoover.

Plenty of suction and looooong cord
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I bought this vacuum to replace an older Hoover WindTunnel 3 that we repurposed to our son that moved out. I was very happy with the old one so thought I would stick with the same brand/model. The newer design is lighter than the old one, the cord is even longer (retractable cord feature is no longer available), and PLENTY of suction just like the old one. The attachment hose is a bit stiff but that could be just because it's new. Also the on/off switch is more awkward than the older version WindTunnel switch was. However, none of these "negative" observations are deal breakers that would keep me from buying this vacuum a third time. I rated the quality "Good" as I have only had this for one month. If it lasts like the first one I'll call it "excellent".

Great if you have pets...hairy pets!

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5This is my 2nd Hoover Windtunnel & I bought one for my mother last Christmas! I Love Love Love this sweeper! I have 2 hairy pomeranians & always had problems with sweepers not being able to suck up the hair, getting plugged up constantly or dying after a few months. I have tried high end & low end sweepers...this one is the Best hands down! I highly recommend this sweeper...even if you don't have pets. The suction on this sweeper is Amazing & does not loose power over time! After a period of time the dirt containers stink. This model all you need is to remove a few screws & it all comes apart so you can wash it really good. Then it's like new & smelling good!!

Good Vacuum, but heavy to push around
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5As stated in summary this item is a good unit for overall use. The 2 lights installed in the vac were handy to light up dark areas, but have already burned out in less than 2 months of use. Contacted Hoover service and they stated replacement bulbs are NOT available! No help there, which I thought was surprising. Hopefully other parts availability won't be a problem in the future.

Amazing vacuum

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I bought this vacuum on on a whim hoping that it will do better than all the other vacuums I’ve ever tried, I am two German Shepherd’s and as I’m sure anyone with a dog knows the shedding problem is horrific I have tried every pet vacuum on the market and This one surprised me completely, it is far better and picking up dirt dust and hair than any other vacuum I’ve ever tried before.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionWhich is better or different ? Windtunnel 3 pro pet and high performance pet ?
Asked by Arth.
- A:Answer Hi Arth! Both models will get a great deep clean for your carpets. The main difference between these models is that the High Performance Pet comes with a 5 year warranty instead of the 2 year compared to the WindTunnel 3 Pro. Also, the High Performance has an additional 2 levels of height adjustment making a total of 7 levels and has a quickpass brushroll for two times faster cleaning. Hope this helps! –Karissa, Hoover Customer Care

Q: QuestionDoes this model use a need to replace belt And how does this compare to a Dyson ?
Asked by Becky.
- A:Answer Yes; this vacuum has a need to replace belt located under the bottom plate of the vacuum. I have both the new Dyson Vacuum for Pet Hair Removal and this new Windtunnel High Performance Pet model. We have a cocker spaniel and a beagle. We had not intended to end up with 2 vacuums, but the following breakdown explains why: The Dyson is excellent for hard surfaces and getting those dustbunnies (a/k/a globs of dog hair and fur) out from under the beds. The cord is supple, and the head is easy to turn and manipulate around those center legs on king sized beds and those occasional boxes we tend to keep under there. The same ease is found for vacuuming under sofas and chairs. However!! We were disappointed with the suction on our rugs. We have the short napped "oriental" style rugs on our tile floors, and expected a deeper clean after going over the area several times. Evenso, it still brought up a lot of dog hair. This is when my husband bought the Windtunnel. It does solid floors very nicely, too, but it excels on the rugs! We were astounded at the amount of hair it collected, and the machine itself is light and easy to move.

Q: QuestionI have 8yr. older windtunnel bagless vacuum. constant issues with both rubber belts connected to the beaterbar, thread or hair snags the beaterbar the belts immediately began to burn and melt causing constant replacement, are the belts still the same?
Asked by David.
- A:Answer We used a four year old Windtunnel on our old carpet, and never had the problem you described. The only issue with that one was its inability to adjust in height. We have pets and a daughter with long hair, and have had no problem on the new Windtunnel with the belts as you have described. Our carpet is very dense so if there were to be a problem, it would have already occurred.

Q: QuestionWe just bought this. However, the suction is so strong its next to impossible to use on my rugs, on all 4 settings. It bunches the rugs up and I really have to fight it to move. Is this normal, on all settings?
Asked by BigASU4.
- A:Answer I have found this as well. Seems like it is always on highest setting.
