Hoover Vacuum Cleaner WindTunnel 3 High Performance Pet Bagless Corded Upright Vacuum UH72630PC by Hoover

I decided to replace my 5-year-old inexpensive Eureka vacuum cleaner with something better. With a budget of less than $250 I spent some time looking around at the available options. I wanted a vacuum with some reputation as having good machines in general. It was important to have a manual height adjustment, since I have a very deep shag rug for which my “second vacuum” with its automatic height adjustment has difficulty cleaning. Overall weight was less important, and in fact, I associate higher weight with a more capable motor. I do not care about swivel ability. Nor do I need a canister that can be removed for more mobile cleaning. (I have a small Dyson for that). I was open to a bagless or bagged model as long as it has a HEPA filter. A long cord is essential, and I have gotten used to the convenience of a retractable cord system on my Eureka. I have no pets, and a variety of flooring surfaces from hardwood to medium pile and shag.I am pretty happy over the past week with the Hoover WindTunnel. It was easy to set up, I did not have to open any of the instructions. It is satisfyingly heavy. It picked up more fluff and dust out of my deep shag following a fresh and careful vacuuming with my old Eureka. The cord is, disappointingly, not self-retracting, but gets a positive mark for being 10 feet longer than the Eureka cord, 40 feet vs 30 feet. Now I can reach a more spots without changing plugs. (My survey indicated that 30-foot cords are most common). Rolling up the cord by hand is fine based on the observed performance. It is heavier than the Eureka, and I still like using the full vacuum, rather than the hose-based beater, on the stairs, so just a bit more of a workout.The Amazon near holiday deal was hard to pass up. I think this Hoover WindTunnel 3 represents a great value as a mid-priced vacuum. Hopefully it will hold up as long as my about to be “recycled” Eureka.

This vacuum cleaner is just awesome! The suction is super powerful (even in the lowest level). I have a Bernese Mountain Dog with a super long hair and a 2 years old toddler. So I have to clean the carpet (and the floor, of course) at least twice a week but with this vacuum I can finish the cleaning faster. It's important to use the correct level for easier cleaning (I use level 1 for my carpet). And also it cleans the dirty in the first time you roll it through the carpet. I love it and recommend it for sure!

le doy todas las estrellas por que es un producto muy completo, cuenta con muchos accesorios para realizar todo tipo de limpieza, y su uso es muy simple, ademas de que es muy resiste pues ya en mas de 1 ocación lo eh golpeado accidentalmente, ademas cuenta con iluminación propia y es de fácil limpieza, y el precio es excelente, recomendado para las amas de casas que cuentan con tapicería tanto en casa como en automoviles

It is easy to use, easy to clean and easy to put away. It is not as bulky as the bigger ones but still get the job done. I had some previous one from 5 years ago. The only thing I miss from the old one is the push button to retract the power code cable. I have to roll the cable manually. But it's no big deal. I am very satisfied with the results. I have 1 kitty, and the vacuum picks up all the dirt and debris nice and easy.

Purchased this vacuum based solely on the Hoover reputation, and was thoroughly disappointed with its quality. The cord handle broke just after a year. The actual cord started to come loose where it meets the vacuum after 18 months, whereby you had to hold the cord a certain way just for it to operate and not lose power. And just after two years use, the motor burnt out entirely. It worked well in the first year, but started to break down in stages after that. Would not purchase again, and has motivated me to try a different brand next time.
