A:AnswerHello Jody,
The Hoover WindTunnel 3 High Performance Upright is not a self propelled unit. Currently, the only unit we offer as a self propelled is our Hoover Anniversary Self-Propelled WindTunnel Bagged Upright Vacuum (Model#: U6485900PC). Thank you!

A:AnswerYes, there is a special setting that one can select to operate the Wind Tunnel 3 on hardwood floors. When this setting is turned on, the beater bar is turned off.
A:AnswerThe brush can be removed and/or you can use scissors to cut the hair off the brush roll while your cleaner is laid flat. Please check Hoover.com for more WindTunnel 3 maintenance tips. Thanks, Joseph - The Hoover Team
A:AnswerYes you can change the belt. Steps on how to change the belt can be found in the maintenance section of your user manual. If you no longer have the user manual, you can find a pdf of it online at Hoover.com (https://www.hoover.com/windtunnel-3-high-performance-pet-upright-vacuum/UH72630.html#q=UH72630&lang=en_US&start=1). Just scroll down to the specifications section and there will be a link to the manual. For information on available belts, see the "Parts and Accessories" tab on the same page. Thanks, Joseph - The Hoover Team
A:AnswerHi Tracy, Thank you for your question! The Hoover WindTunnel 3 High Performance Pet Bagless Upright Vacuum uses a T-Series Flat Non-Stretch Belt Model # AH20065. Thanks, Cierra -The Hoover Team
A:AnswerThank you for your question! No, it does not have a retractable cord. The copy for this model may have been mixed up with the WindTunnel 2 Rewind which does have a retractable cord. I will look into getting this fixed, thank you for bringing it to my attention! Thanks, Joseph - The Hoover Team
A:AnswerThank you for your question! WindTunnel 3 is not your quietest vacuum as it is designed for performance. However, you will find that the pitch itself is not high. WindTunnel 3 Technology creates 3 channels of suction to lift and remove surface debris and deep down embedded dirt with Multi-Cyclonic Technology that ensures a consistent cleaning experience with No Loss of Suction. Thanks, Joseph - The Hoover Team
A:AnswerHey Brad, Thank you for the question! The Hoover WindTunnel 3 Vacuum does have a HEPA filter so your living space can remain mostly free of allergens. Thanks, Joseph- The Hoover Team
