Hoover WindTunnel Bagless Upright Vacuum: Model UH40020
 |
The anniversary edition of the Hoover WindTunnel Bagless Upright was released as a solution to Hoover's previous problems. Did the Hoover UH40020 WindTunnel Bagless solve them, or is it just marketing? Read on to find out.
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 is considered to be a better vacuum than previous models, mainly due to the better build quality and the extra accessories that this comes with.
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. It seems that Hoover has started learning from its mistakes, and this vacuum no longer suffers from the same build quality problems that previous models had. 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 brings a couple of extra accesories and a new look, which wouldn't have made a difference to users who were used to the poor build quality of previous models. However, Hoover seems to have fixed this, and now has only the belt problem to fix.
