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?

2.This WindTunnel does a very poor job on hard floors: it kicks the dirt out the back end, scattering it further over the floor. I tried changing the bag, adjusting the floor-level setting, coming at the dirt from different angles, but the result is the same: my hard floors stay dirty.

3.Low quality of the accessories. The accessory cover doesn’t click into place, so it is always falling open; the hose pieces don’t stay together very well.

4.The hose itself is so compact that it doesn’t give much stretch at all–if I try to move with the hose even a foot away from the vacuum base, the whole thing topples over.

5.One of the features I liked about this model was that it was wide at the front in order to get under the fronts of furniture or against the wall. But the suction doesn’t seem to extend to the widest part, so it ends up just being a wide vacuum without any additional benefit.

6.The vacuum is VERY loud.

7.The vacuum is very heavy.

8.The “Embedded Dirt Finder” doesn’t seem to work accurately (it turns green when there is still dirt)

These characteristics are all of lower standard than my previous 10-yr old lower-line vacuum cleaner, so I would’ve expected better of something newer.

The WindTunnel’s most positive features are that it is fairly easy to change the bag and that the cord is over 30′ long, a great length for reaching multiple rooms from one outlet.
