    Can't beat this model for the money

    This our second one of these and we love it! We abuse the heck out of our vacuums and suck up stuff we definitely should not. If we did not abuse it so I sure it would last five or more years. While this is not an old time Hoover (gee i wish I had kept that one!) it will last with abuse for over a year without loosing suction. We use our old one outside and it still has more suction than many of the models when they are brand new out of the box. The lower price keeps the arguments down about how it is used which means no one in the house has an excuse to not use it all of the time. The pet attachments are the first we have found that actually work without monumental effort on the part of the user. We also really like the roller brush off option. We have not skinned any rugs since getting this model. We just forget to turn it back on sometimes. A friend thought hers was broken because she did not realize the option existed on this model. Only lacking feature is the cord rewind is weak.

    Not a good vacuum. I feel like it was a lemon.

    Attachments fall off for no reason. The lower filter is very hard to remove. The auto cord return never worked correctly. Sometimes it won't pick up anything & other times the units suction is too much which makes it the unit hard to push on carpet. I wish I could exchange it. I believe it's a lemon. I've had this brand in the past, units we built much better than the one I wasted my $$$$ on.

    I read quite a few reviews for this product and also asked some of my coworkers their opinions on it since they owned this item already, and overall it sounded great. Got it home, put the vacuum together, and when I tried it out there was almost nothing in the container after vacuuming my entire apartment. I have 2 pets so there's ALWAYS hair everywhere. I ended up sticking with my 4 year old vacuum as it did a much better job.

    I bought the Hoover - WindTunnel 3 Pro Pet HEPA Bagless Upright Vacuum on 03/04/2015. Today 08/23/2015 is not even 6 months and it's BAD. I even don't use it every month.

    Poor design

    The rotating brush on the upholstery head relies on suction to turn the brush. It absolutely does not work, it sucks, and I don't mean in a good way. The instructions on the box tell me not to return to the store I haven't called over yet to find out how to resolve this, perhaps this week.

    A decent vacuum overall. After you use it a couple of times you will have to clean the filter because it looses suction power.

    Plastic is the new quality. I've had Hoover Vacs forever and this is not the quality of the one I bought 20 years ago. It SUCKS for sure.

      Hi Bucko, Like many companies, many of our products are manufactured in China, which allows us to keep costs down for our American consumers. However, it is important to note that Hoover is proud to call Northern Ohio home with headquarters in Glenwillow. Also, Hoover employs 945 people in the United States with locations in San Bernardino, CA; and North Canton, OH. Hope this explains it. Doug, Hoover Customer Care Hoover

    The one problem is the retractable cord ,which doesn't return properly, and has to be fed in manually while pushing the button.
