The Hoover WindTunnel Bagless Upright is the first vacuum to be self propelled, which makes it glide under its own power.

The Dirt Finder sensor is once again used, as it has proven a valuable aid in the fight against dust and dirt. The green light will let you know when an area is finally clean, and you can move on.

By cleverly ducting away dirt particles from the spinning agitators to ensure they’re captured in the bagless dirt cup, the vacuum pick up more dirt than other vacuums, and this technology is called Wind Tunnel by Hoover.

The 12 amp motor provides plenty of power, and the HEPA filter ensures that all allergens and dust particles are collected from your carpets.

It has a 31 feet power cord which is more than enough for rooms of all sizes, and the large cleaning path means you have to vacuum less, to clean a large sized room, than you would with another vacuum.

The Hoover WindTunnel Bagless Upright is generally considered a poor vacuum by most of its users, as they've all had problems with it and with Hoover customer service, which seems unable, or unwilling to help.

Suction power

The 12 amp motor is more than enough for most users, as the suction power provided is much more than users were expecting from it. Users warn others that for this suction power to remain the same, the filter must be cleaned after every use, or the dust will gather and seriously reduce its effectiveness.

Noise level and build quality

Users report that the noise level is not as bad as it was with previous models, and they have all gotten used to it, after a couple of uses. Unlike previous models which had serious problems regarding build quality, this model is free from them. Few users have reported problems with the plastic parts of the vacuum, however, since Hoover vacuums have started being produced in China, their build quality has dropped tremendously, as all users have noted.The filters also require periodical changing, and their price is not very low, as users have found out.

Features

The cord length is more than enough for all users, and even large rooms are easily cleaned without moving the vacuum to a different plug. Users find the Dirt Finder sensor to be excellent, and report that it really functions and knows precisely when a carpet is finally clean.

Conclusion

The Hoover WindTunnel Bagless Upright was a considered a good vacuum cleaner by users, but since the production process has started taking place in China, its build quality has dropped considerably, and users are hesitant to recommend it to others. Its features, on the other hand, may prove attractive to a large number of users.
