Hoover - WindTunnel 3 High Performance Upright Vacuum - Black

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.

I was replacing my Bissell Heavy Duty which was the best vacuum I ever owned. It lasted 7 yrs, but they don't make it anymore. I decided to try out this Hoover. It looks nice and has many features but it does NOT pick up pet hair. A $200 Pet Vac to fail at picking up pet hair is completely unacceptable. I have a rottweiler and a yellow lab who are always shedding on the carpet. I tried this vacuum with and without the brush setting. I tried this vaccum on all different height settings. It would only push or drag the hair around the room into lil piles. It just would NOT pick it up into the canister. I had to use the hose, which worked great, to pick up the piles of hair that the vaccum had pushed around. I took it back after having it 3 days and trying it each day. This was a complete waste of my time and money. This Hoover vacuum is simply Garbage!!! Don't waste your hard earned money.

Poor on/off button makes it a nuisance when we have to use it

I 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.

We 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.

I 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".

Very good vaccum. Easily to handle and pickup particles deep in the carpet.

As 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.
