Owner's manual

Q: Does it have a motorized head for carpets or is it only a suction powered?

A: Hi OCDvacuumer! Yes, the head on this unit is motorized and belt driven. Hope this helps! -Michael, Hoover Customer Care

Q: Do all of the attachments come with this or are they sold seperately

A: Hi! The Air Canister includes a 3-in-1 dusting tool, crevice tool, upholstery tool and bare floor tool. Hope this helps! -Giselle Hoover Customer Care

Q: I went and looked at the walmart reviews for this vacuum and the majority of them said it overheats pretty bad...has this been addressed?

A: Hi Dylan! Overheating is caused by a blockage in the air path. To prevent overheating it's important to clean the filters every 4-6 uses and remove any clogs in the vacuum. Hope this helps! ~Kenya, Hoover Customer Care

Q: most of my house is tile, with just a few area rugs. … so, to use on tile floors, do you need to continuously hold the brush shut off button or is the switch on / off?

A: Hi rose! The button is a switch, which you only need to press once to shut the brush roll off. -Michael, Hoover Customer Care

Q: Cord

A: Hi! The WindTunnel Air Bagless Canister has a 17ft retractable cord. Hope this helps! Giselle, Hoover Customer Care

Q: Does this pick up kitty litter without dumping it back out?

A: Hi mrsroadrunner! We do not recommend picking up cat litter with your WindTunnel Air as this can cause scattering of the litter or clog the hose. The liter can also cause odor build up in the machine as well. Hope this helps! -Karissa, Hoover Customer Care

Q: What is the model of the HEPA filter on the side beneath the tire cover.

A: Hi, the exhaust filter you need is part #: 440004635. If you ordered a filter from Hoover.com and received the wrong part, please email [email protected] so we can help. Thanks! -- John, Hoover Customer Care

Good points and then other ideas
Best Buy is the best with delivery. Product arrived before promise date. While I have decided to keep the vacuum it has not been without hesitation. Keeping in mind, we have 3 rambunctious boys under 7 yrs old-our house is the house all the friends & neighborhood kids go to, a dog and mostly 90% hardwood floors. Used daily. Good points: Great suction Easy to clean Decent on hardwood floors Great price point My 3 yr old can use it!! (Even changes attachments) Not so crazy about: Short cord Loud Not easy to store Heavy No where to store attachments What I would change: Rubber wheels A different color on the retractable button vs power button Power button on handle It has left a few minor easily rubbed out scratches on the floors and is a little difficult to manuver but it gets the job done efficiently. Cleaning the dirt compartment is easy and should be done frequently. Overall I kept it because it's a good price point and is really effective at its job. While it's not doing heavy duty work, it is used frequently.

Light in weight. Small in size. Fun to use.
easy assembly out of box. beater bar has its own on/off switch and is gear engaged, no belts to break. canister is small and needs to be emptied often. accessories stored on handle, not a good location. easy to use. very light. super suction power.

Great vacuum!
I love this vacuum! I bought it to replace another brand that broke quickly. This Hoover is sturdy and also very easy to use. The suction is great, and it cleans up easily by emptying the dust container, or removing the spinning brush from the head as it traps lots of hair. It works great on carpet with that spinning brush, and on hard wood floor by changing the head. I am satisfied with that purchase!
