Hoover WindTunnel Bagless Upright: Model U5760910
 |
The Hoover WindTunnel Bagless Upright brings improved build quality over the previous model, but maintains the same good features that users were used to.
The most important feature is the new Dirt Finder electronic sensor that lets users know when dirt is still being picked up or not.
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
Noise level is one aspect that users agree on, and the noise is considered extremely irritating by all of them. Build quality seems to be the major problem of this vacuum, as nearly all of its users have reported it breaking in the first months of use, due to problems that Hoover is aware of. Recent vacuums seem to have been built better, as most users have reported. Customer service has proven unsatisfactory, and most users were left with a bitter taste. 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 is considered a little better than the previous model due to its improved build quality, as some users have reported, but the expensive filters and belts still must be changed periodically, which is not an easy or pleasant task.
