Hoover WindTunnel All-Terrain Dual Brush Roll Bagless Vacuum Cleaner, Corded Upright Vacuum, HEPA Media Filtration, Headlights, Swivel Steering, Corded Vacuum Cleaners for Home Use

I bought this vacuum specifically because I have dogs and cats that shed A LOT! Tumbleweeds of fur go floating by. We have an iRobot vacuum and use it every other day, but it has struggled with the large hair clumps when our dogs are blowing out their coats. We also have two long hair cats that shed constantly too. Our old bagless Hoover finally surrendered, and it was time to shop again. We have mainly hardwood floors with large living area carpets with a low pile. Our upstairs is all Berber carpeting.PROSExtremely good suction. In fact, thin rugs are difficult to vacuum (door mats, office chair carpet pads). It gets up everything in the carpet. There is little to none dirt blow back. Meaning, if you are vacuuming kitty litter, it's not blowing back half of it on your shoes.It is very easy to empty. In fact, a little easier than our other canister vacuum by Hoover.It REALLY picks up dirt and dust. You can see it when you empty it, which is gross and satisfying all at once.The attachments are conveniently placed on the vacuum. They are heavy duty, a good length, and have excellent suction, especially for getting fur off of couches and chairs, etc.The weight seems to add to it's ability to clean more deeply into the carpet.Despite it's heft, it maneuvers well.It has rubber wheels, which I like much better than the hard plastic style.CONSIt's loud, but in addition to being loud, it seems to have a high pitched whine to it that I can hear in any part of the house when it's being used. However, I have Hyperacusis, so I use hearing protection when I vacuum, so it's an easily solved issue.It's heavy. Someone in their review weighed it at 17lbs. I'm a small, spaghetti-armed person, so it feels heavy to move around. The biggest challenge is moving it up steps and of course vacuuming them (carpeted). But if you have someone stronger in the family, make a deal, they move it up and down stairs, and you will vacuum, or make them vacuum. If you live alone, this will be the "something" you dislike about the vacuum if you have to use it on two floors.The cost. It was a bit prohibitive to me at first. I typically purchase the Hoover bagless vacuums for under $100. So, this was a tough sell. However, I recognize that you do get what you pay for more often than not. I think the cost is worth it if you need it for housekeeping caused by pets and their hair. It's proven so far to be worth the money.

I bought this vacuum in 2021. It's still powerful and great for pet fur. I bought this to use at my mom's house. She has 6 indoor/ outdoor cats and I vacuum once a week for her. I had been using another bagless upright. The first time I used this vacuum, the carpet appeared to change color because it was removing so much more dirt! Gross, but rewarding. The power wand is genius. I can easily pull it and get the baseboards and edges of the carpet. The attachment for ceiling fans coupled with the Power wand is brilliant. Those cats get fur on fan blades! Gross, but easy to clean now while I'm standing in the ground. I'm 5'3". I used to have to get a step stool to clean the ceiling fan. I love this vacuum. It's so powerful and strong that it's a little bit of a workout to use it, but so worth it. I could set it for a higher carpet level, but I keep it low so that it gets every bit of fur and ick. The little turning upholstery brush is good for removing fur off furniture. With 6 cats bringing in sand from the yard, I think we've put this vacuum to the test. I've had to replace the belt when it was bound up from hair, but it was easy and inexpensive. Highly recommend.

I’ve only had this vacuum a couple of months, but it works great. I have only 4 stars because the buttons and release mechanisms seem cheap compared to my prior vac’s (sharks). It is also a little heavy.However, it seems to work as well as any vacuum I am have had, making it a great value, if it holds up.

MY wife likes Hoover Wind Tunnel vacuums. She had one that lasted almost 15 years. So, I bought her this one and she loves it. I do too as it has a swivel feature, no bags, and the attachments work well. She especially likes that the narrow wand has a built in light at the ti[ of the tool so she can make sure she gets all the dirt, etc.

This may be the worst piece of household equipment I purchases in a lifetime. The main hose clip near the handle snapped off as we assembled it. So off the bat the hose wouldn't stay attached to the handle without holding it. I wrote and hoover sent one quickly. The customer service was efficient and responsive as one hopes for while getting support, great! Within a couple of months the replaced piece has a mesh that holds the hose at the handheld to when clipped in to the canister and sweeper started to give out and allows the hose to put pressure on the clip that broke upon assembly. Then a month ago the clip that holds the canister to the body of the vacuum broke so if the vacuum isn't on causing suction the canister falls off, essentially everything time you put it away. The plastic is brittle and not the right density plastic for regular domestic use. We are very attentive to pick up the carpet a lot before we vacuum. Just about anything bigger than a popcorn piece could get stuck. The engineering on the machine is complicated with remarkable small in diameter vacuum tubes specifically at the body canister section where all the debris must travel to get to the canister. Almost half of the time it has sat unused and or clogged. We have to regularly declog it or disassemble to clean these bottle necks. It blows me away that non of this came up in development and this has made it to market. If you are more than a single person household I do not recommend this machine it just isnt capable or above medium durability. I bought brand and spent more to do it with hopes of ease, logic, quality and longevity. This machine is not positively representative of the brand or price. I want to throw it away sometimes but finally decided no. I have to spare thousands of households the frustrations of this vacuum. I wish Hoover would just send an improved model or refund me so I can get something else and spend even more time and money to do so and ensure I don't have a similar experience. I DO NOT RECOMMEND this product, it will never operate with ease due to its unnecessarily complicated design.
