Hoover WindTunnel Cord Rewind Pro Bagless Vacuum Cleaner, Upright

I had a 12amp Wind Tunnel that I'd had for about two years that, despite the screws breaking off when I tried replacing the belt in AGAIN, I loved how well it worked. I bought this one, based upon the 12amp answer that someone gave about it. When it was delivered I discovered that it is actually a 10amp. I decided, though, to at least give it a try, before returning it. When I vacuumed my carpet (which my entire apartment is) it vacuumed up so much stuff I thought it was tearing up my carpet. As it turned out, it was actually vacuuming up what my previous vacuum cleaner had started leaving behind. Since I've owned this one, my carpet has never felt and looked so clean. It works as good my old steel vacuum cleaner (I paid hundreds for), and it isn't as bulky and heavy. It has more bristles than my last Hoover, and more suction power, so it gets everything in one pass. And it has no problem vacuuming up pet hair. I have Belgian Malinois who sheds constantly (despite regularly brushing), so I vacuum almost daily. It gets every bit of her hair easily. The hose is super flexible and easy to work with cleaning ceiling fans, vents, and blinds. No more having to dust those first. I can do them all all at once. It works amazingly well on regular floors, without kicking back and throwing stuff out the back end. All in all...it is the best and most awesome vacuum cleaner I've ever owned. The price is a huge bonus. I highly recommend it!!! On a side note... 1) The canister really should be emptied after each vacuuming. I, personally, also always brush mine with a bottle brush to keep it from clogging, and so I don't have to wash it as often. The hose, canister, and filter should be washed regularly. Otherwise that's what causes that nasty vacuum cleaner smell...you don't want your home smelling like when you vacuum. I also fully extend the hose and replace it, before emptying the canister, to get out anything that might be caught between the grooves of the hose. 2) To keep the Cord Rewind working properly, the cord shouldn't be pulled out much further past the yellow warning, and especially not past the red warnings that it has. And, the cord should be untwisted before, or as you're rewinding it, so it rewinds as it should. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Works well. Exactly what I needed at a reasonable price. I've tried other brands of similarly priced vacuums and was disappointed with the quality of those machines. Those other brands just couldn't handle the pet hair and kid stuff that inevitably gets sucked into the vaccuum. I came back to Hoover. They make a more resilient machine, regardless of price level. Plus, I'm able to resolve most jams (operator error) myself. Many of my old attachments from my previous Hoover fit this one. (I purchased my other, fancier Hoover so long ago I don't remember when I got it. Motor still works on that one. Only reason I replaced it is my daughter vacuumed up something that's preventing me from switching from the wand to the floor option.) This Hoover is a simpler machine that lets me get the job done, no hassles. It's a workhorse and exactly what I wanted for a competitive price. You get more bells and whistles (more attachments, dirt finder, etc.) with more expensive Hoovers, but this one handles the chore well. I like that I don't need bags and can just empty and clean the barrel myself. It's kind of satisfying to see all the crud I'm getting rid of, and it's easy to tell when it needs to be emptied. I also like that I can wash and reuse the filter. Less trash, no need to buy more stuff just to keep the machine running. The machine weight is fine and what I'd expect from the durability level I need. The handle on the canister is useful for hauling the machine up/down stairs.

It’s a powerful vacuum, works well, good set of tools. The dial to change from carpet to floor is easy to use. It picks up well! I’ve owned a Hoover in the past. Quality brand. The cord is retractable, great feature but a little short. I added an extension cord, wrapped the connection with electrical tape, so it’s permanent. The wand extends so I don’t have to bend over to use it. I really like it but wish it was lighter. It’s NOT too heavy but would be easier toting up & down the stairs.

easy to take out of the box and put one screw in and get ready to work. good thing tiny go button is red. Vacuum has alot of suck and does a very good job on floors and carpet. Easy to change from floor to carpet. does not swivel well like the shark or dison . it is easy to empty. Seems like im working hard to work it. I like it because it works, but I dont like working it. What a dope. Hay Im old. It does seem to pick up kitty litter well.

This Hoover is so wonderful. The power it has and the well thought out attachments have helped me lift out cat fur. The ability to extend the wand with the attachment reaches under my bed. The attachments with the brushes will be great for the baseboards and under kitchen cabinets. I love being able to see the clear container and know how much it is collecting. Great work designers!

1st advice is Kitty Litter will destroy the motor bearings and create a loud howling noise THAT GETS LOUDER . 2nd.. I noticed my button down long sleeve shirts hanging in my master carpet covered in vacuum dust on the collars and shoulders of the shirts. Dust gets past the filters and motor and ruins the air quality with even the outside of this vacuum covered in dust from the outside static electricity . Finally had enough and took it to the 2nd floor apartment covered landing for someone to take and they did. I CAN NOT RECOMMEND THIS VACUUM ! ! !

It's kind of heavy compared to the Shark Rocket stick vac I'm replacing, but it really blows that Shark out of the water for cleaning power. It has powerful suction and it picks up cat hair like it's nothing. The cord is long enough to reach where I need it to reach and it's retractible, and that's a great feature. The hose can be used with attachments for other types of cleaning and I foresee it working very well for my needs. I paid quite a bit more for the Shark machine and it worked great when it was new, but I'd had it for ten years and it was no longer doing the job for me, so I was ready for an upgrade.

Meh, if I new then what I know now i probably wouldn't purchase this vacuum. Suction is good, vacuum is kind of heavy, cord is wayyyy to short, also the cord retracter doesn't really work unless you coax it, and when I say coax I mean force it. The canister fills up very quickly, thats actually a good thing that tells me the suction is good. I have 4 dogs, that shed, so I'm asking a lot from this vacuum. I wish I'd gotta vacuum for pets.

This is not worth it. It’s too expensive and it constantly clogs. The dust and whatever I’m trying to vacuum, never makes it to the plastic to be emptied. Instead, I have to manually pick out the hose to the best of my ability in order just to vacuum for another 60 seconds before I have to do the same thing. When I do clean it out, I can’t get everything out of the hose because it’s too long. It’s a powerful vacuum but unless you want to be cleaning out the hose four times per use in a row then I would not get this vacuum. I paid all of this money for absolutely nothing and it’s pretty much garbage!
