Rating: - Nice vacuum for my apartment
I've had this vacuum for about a year now, and its worked perfectly so far, no issues whatsoever.I don't vacuum too often and so I guess the unit haven't really been subjected to heavy use, but still, I'm very pleased with how well its been running.All the features work, like the dirt finder light and the headlight that illuminates the floor ahead, and nothing has broken.The filter works pretty good, I don't notice any dust being emitted as I vacuum.The weight of it is pretty good too, I ...

Rating: - Disappointed by Hoover
I purchased my vacuum Nov 2006. Within the first year I replaced the on/off switch, which was covered by warranty and confirmed by my local vacuum parts dealer as a common problem with the Hoover WindTunnel. A few months later, after warranty expired, the dirt finder stopped working and the vacuum does not seem to be sucking enough because it cannot pick up fine dirt (like thread) from the carpet no matter what the height adjustment. Then the on/off switch broke again. This time I purchased the part ... Read More
Rating: - Quality Must Be a Thing of the Past
The cover of the owener's manual says, "Congratulations on your purchase!" It should read "Our condolences on your purchase."

We found out the Embedded Dirt Finder didn't work. So we took it back, got another one (which we also assembled).

This one literally eats carpet. There have been several ... Read More

I bought this vacuum in August 2006.For the first year, I loved it.It performed wonderfully.After about a year, I noticed that the on/off switch was a bit fussy.Sometimes it worked, sometimes not.Now, I can only turn the vacuum on and off by plugging it in and unplugging it.At around the same time that the on/off switch started acting up, the dirt sensor light started to flicker aimlessly, too.Now, when I dare to vacuum, it works OK on carpet (set at the hardwood floor setting) and it just ...

Rating: - Hoovers: Not what they used to be
I have owned this model for over one year. I knew a number of people who have had older comparable Hoover models for years and had good experiences with them, so I decided to replace my 10-yr old lower line DirtDevil with this Hoover.

Just as many other reviewers have complained, the on-off switch of my Hoover WindTunnel stopped working (just after the warranty expired) and the vacuum will no longer turn off by the switch. Instead I have to unplug it from the wall (and it's still "on" when I ... Read More
