Hoover WindTunnel Bagless Upright: Model U8351900

Hoover WindTunnel Bagless Upright

The Hoover WindTunnel Bagless Upright has users so worked up that they decided to let others know what they think. Why spend time looking for their reviews, when you can read our guide, which summarizes everything about the Hoover U8351900 Bagless Upright?

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 alergens 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 poos reviews, with most users being very dissapointed with it due to problems with the HEPA filter and heavy weight.

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. Although build quality is reported to be good by most users, with solid plastic being used in all major parts of the vacuum, users are still skeptical. However, users 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 is not good enough to receive recommandations from other users. Nearly all of them have suffered problems with the HEPA filter or other replaceable parts. Even though the belt has a lifetime warranty, users still feel that the other problems of the vacuum are too large to ignore.
