Hoover WindTunnel Whole House Rewind Bagless Vacuum Cleaner, Corded Upright Vac, HEPA Media Filtration, Automatic Cord Rewind, Corded Vacuum Cleaners for Home Use

We had the older version of this vac for over 10 years and it was getting tired. Time to replace. After reading the reviews was disturbed and puzzled by some of them pointing out small odd differences that they made to sound negative and so I was initially put off this vac. After reading/comparing I decided to disregard these slightly negative reviews and sally forth having trusted Hoover for so many years and getting excellent service from our older similar unit. So glad I did. This vac is superb value for money. Very much the same as older model but a bit refreshed. Yes, power button and rinse-able disc is lower in the handle. A slight re-design for whatever reason. All around shape of vac is the same. Color scheme is different from old model. This new vac has super suction. Our cat migrates bits of litter around the house and I can see these bits shake as the vac approaches with the power of the suction. Brush must be adjusted a notch higher probably due to being new and not worn down at all. This brings me to the 'hard to push around' mentioned in a couple of reviews. It is the same as old vac. Same weight which is not overly light, a bit heavy but is the same. If the brush is adjusted low and you try to push over a carpet, you will encounter resistance due to the brush really scrubbing the carpet. In this case it will be rather hard to push. Our floors are a mix of bare, low area rugs and low/medium carpets with a couple of very small thin pads near the entrance. Old vac I mostly had brush set on next to lowest. This new vac brush set one notch higher (middle notch). At this setting I can hear the brush lightly touch the bare floor and have plenty of scrub for all carpets/rugs and difficulty of pushing is same as old, as would be expected. The suction is so powerful, this vac will actually pick up the small pads at the entrance door. I have to stand on them while vacuuming carefully or they will be sucked right up and stick on the vac bottom. I'm so extremely pleased with the value and performance of this vac and so happy we got it. Really no idea why anyone would buy another unless perhaps needing a propelled model due to one's own physical limitations. The one major difference from old model is the power cord seems to be about 3-4 inches shorter! Otherwise everything works awesome. Auto-wind cord snaps up super quick. I highly recommend this vac.

The Hoover WindTunnel Cord Rewind Pro is a fantastic vacuum cleaner that offers excellent value for its price. With its powerful WindTunnel technology and Multi-Cyclonic filtration, it effectively lifts and removes surface debris and deep-down embedded dirt without any loss of suction. The automatic cord rewind feature is incredibly convenient, allowing the 25-foot power cord to retract in seconds, eliminating the need to manually wrap it up. The vacuum comes with a variety of tools and an extra-long cleaning hose that offers up to 10 feet of above-floor reach, making it easy to clean blinds, bookshelves, and more. Overall, this vacuum provides a thorough and efficient cleaning experience, making it a great choice for households with both carpet and hard floors.

I bought this particular model because of the retractable cord feature. From the time I took the vacuum out of the box when I step on the pedal to retract the cord it often does not retract. If I angle the cord so it goes directly into the cavity and push about 6 inches of the cord into the cavity for retraction, it will retract only sometimes when I step on the pedal. The failure occurs even when I pull the cord out only half way. It eventually retracts with trial and error. I have other Hoover Wind Tunnel vacuums that retract flawlessly so I was surprised in this case. The vacuum does a good job cleaning both hard floor and carpet. The brush attachment is a little different and I prefer the standard brush with long bristles and a larger opening, but this brush works. The red suction tube attachment is different and a plus for vacuuming into tight spaces. If the retraction feature worked properly, I would give the product 5 stars. Hopefully other purchasers of this particular model are not having the same problem.

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!!!
