Hoover WindTunnel 2 Bagless Upright: Model U8371900
 |
Have you decided to purchase the Hoover WindTunnel Bagless Upright? You might not want to, after reading our guide and seeing what other users feel of the Hoover U8371900 WindTunnel 2.
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 has received numerous poor reviews due to its poor build quality and heavy weight. The problems that previous models had with the filters, are present here as well.
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 quite high, and they don't think they'll ever get used to it. Build quality is once again the number one cause for poor reviews. Users also have a problem with the auto-cleaning HEPA filter which is prone to breaking, and the messy cleaning process still remains a problem.
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 has almost no improvements over the previous model, yet is more expensive and suffers from the same design flaws. Once again, users would not recommend this vacuum to others, saying that while it does a fine job of cleaning your house, it fills it with dust even quicker, when trying to be cleaned.
