Home Appliance Reviews

I have owned this model for over one year. I knew a number of people who have had older comparable Hoover models for years and had good experiences with them, so I decided to replace my 10-yr old lower line DirtDevil with this Hoover. But my overall experience has been disappointing.

Here are some of the issues:

1.The latest, (and most dangerous and widespread, according to other reviews on the WindTunnel) experience has been that the on-off switch of my Hoover WindTunnel stopped working (just after the warranty expired) and the vacuum will no longer turn off by the switch. Instead I have to unplug it from the wall (and it’s still “on” when I go to plug it in, too). Safety hazard, anyone?
