Hoover - WindTunnel Anniversary Edition HEPA Upright Vacuum - Blue

Similar to my old Hoover purchased in 1998. Great suction, quieter motor, hepa filter eliminates any escaping dust. The power cord is conveniently long. The embedded dirt finder assures a clean carpet. I think Hoover makes the very best floor cleaning equipment. BUT, I do wish I had purchased the upgraded model that would include a feature to disengage the brush, longer hose, and more attachments.

Wow do I love this vacuum cleaner. I'm sure my Dad would cringe if he heard me say something like that, but hey, he doesnt have to clean his own house, does he? :-) The Electronic Dirt Finder is remarkably useful (sounded like a silly marketing ploy when I first heard about it.) The bag check indicator works flawlessly. The headlight is great for vacuuming under beds, etc. The power and motorized brush work great on my deep pile carpets. The HEPA filter appears to work well - never notice any dust coming out from the vacuum nor any smells or other indication that whats going in is coming out again. I have a few minor complaints - but they wouldnt stop me from buying this vacuum again. The unit is heavier than I expected. Using it on stairs is a chore. The hose and attachments feel chintzy, the hose is a bit short and the tubes are flimsy and cheap (which is all OK since only use them about 1% of the time.) I wish the cord would self-retract and store itself. Oh well. All in all, given the price, this is an amazing vaccum.

We did our homework and evaluated all the top vacs. This one has serious suction!! We've owed several of the Windtunnel vacs over the years. All work exceedingly well. Issue is, though, poor reliability. They have all failed. If you buy one, be sure to get the max warranty. Also, one should wear ear protection when using, as they are very noisy. Personally, I hate friction put-on tools. They never handle rough cleaning and typically come off. But bang of the buck - top dog, for sure. We truly believe there is nothing that compares to this sucker.

I haven't used this vacuum a ton since I got it but so far it seems great. Really powerful so it had great suction. It's not self-propelled but sure felt like it was. The dirt indicator light is a really nice feature. Attachments are stored well but I still haven't figured out how to properly store the cord (which is really long by the way if you like that too) and the directions don't give you any tips on that. I bought this online when it was on sale so I think it's a great vacuum for the price. I will never use bagless again and I trusted the Hoover name.

I did a bunch of research before deciding on which vacuum to buy to replace my old canister, and thought this was going to be great choice. How wrong I was..... This vacuum is heavy and is TERRIBLE on hard wood floors - the attachment needed to do anything close to a decent job on hard wood is not included. And Hoover didn't have one in stock to purchase. To use the extension wands with the attachments, the entire power cord has to be unwound which means it has to be re-wound when you're done. The power cord storage is on top of all the hoses and wands. Also, I'm always managing the cord to keep it out of the way...the 'clip' on the back of the vacuum to keep it out of the way doesn't work as well as it should. Additionally, the hose really is too short to use it easily and effectively with the attachments. The good: it does a really good job on carpets. If you only have carpeting, this may be a good, cost effective choice for you. Personally, i'm regretting this purchase. Whatever I get to replace it will be a canister, you can count on that.

the vacuum has power and it is easy to push around. the only problem is the spaces on the roller brush. you have to go back over the spot 2 or 3 times and on hard floors you can feel some of the dirt kick out from the bottom of the vacuum . overall the vacuum is worth the money it's a good vacuum .

I selected this vacuum after reading Consumer Reports and checking online reviews. I have two cats, and it works well to pick up the cat hair. I would say that it works best on the wall to wall carpeting and not that great on the area rug with a shorter pile. I have tried various settings, but it becomes too hard to push on the lower settings that work better. The "Easy Open" front is not. I had to have my husband put it back on for me because it kept falling off when I put it back. My favorite feature is the embedded dirt finder. It makes me more aware of the problem spots so that I spend more time on them. The wheels move very smoothly. I have not had any problems with it so far. My last vacuum was a used Hoover, and this one works much better.

Vacuum looks nice. I like the light for night vacuuming (really for under the bed). I really like having a vacuum that tells you when an area is clean. This product has a three year warranty. No need to spend money on an additional warranty. I do not like the new black tie warrantyy. I have always purchased the best buy warrnaty and appreciated its value. I will not purchase the black tie.
