1 out of 5 stars Hoovers: Not what they used to be   August 12, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

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 go to plug it in, too). Safety hazard, anyone?

Here are some other issues:

1.This WindTunnel does a very poor job on hard floors: it kicks the dirt out the back end, scattering it further over the floor. I tried changing the bag, adjusting the floor-level setting, coming at the dirt from different angles, but the result is the same: my hard floors stay dirty.

2.Low quality of the accessories. The accessory cover doesn't click into place, so it is always falling open; the hose pieces don't stay together very well;

3.The hose itself is so compact that it doesn't give much stretch at all--if I try to move with the hose even a foot away from the vacuum base, the whole thing topples over.

4.One of the features I liked about this model was that it was wide at the front in order to get under the fronts of furniture or against the wall. But the suction doesn't seem to extend to the widest part, so it ends up just being a wide vacuum without any additional benefit.

5.The vacuum is VERY loud.

These characteristics are all of lower standard than my previous 10-yr old lower-line vacuum cleaner, so I would've expected better of something newer. I would not recommend this vacuum in the least.


1 out of 5 stars Piece of Junk....Don't Buy   August 8, 2008
Our previous Hoover vacuum cleaner lasted 4 years and was a great vacuum. So, when it died we replaced it with a similar model. I could not be more disappointed. Initially, it worked great. After 4 months, it has been nothing but problems. It breaks belts like it is what it was made to do. We have been replacing belts at the rate of one or two a week. It also does not seem to pick up dog hair at all. The carpet light that is supposed to indicate whether or not the carpet is clean just turns off and on at what appears to be random. I would not reccomend this to anyone. Do not buy!! We just went out and bought a Bissell...Hopefully we will have better results!


1 out of 5 stars Sucks and Not in the Good Way!   July 26, 2008

I spent days researching vacuums and thought I had a winner. TOTALLY WRONG. I knew when I was unpacking it that it wasn't gonna be great. The very FIRST time I used it the belt broke. I tried replacing it and it was impossible. I quit when I cut my finger. Also, there is a gap between the roller assembly and the actual vacuum. When I took it apart to change the belt it was jam packed with fur and dirt. And that wasn't even in the roller assembly where it could have explained the belt breaking! All of this in 10 minutes of vacuuming. Needless to say, I'm sending it back.


4 out of 5 stars U5468-900 WINDTUNNEL SUPREME BAGGED REVIEW   June 20, 2008
I HAVE BEEN A HOOVER OWNER FOR TWENTY YEARS, (ONE UPRIGHT)! OUR HOUSEHOLD REQUIRED ANOTHER ONE (ONE FOR EACH LEVEL OF OUR HOME!

LISTING THE DESIRED FEATURES: PRICE RANGE, WEIGHT, BAGGED, FILTERS, DIRT SENSOR, 30 FT CORD NARROWED THE SEARCH TO JUST THE U5468 WINDTUNNEL SUPREME BAGGED UPRIGHT WITH THE WEIGHT BEING THE DECIDING FACTOR. BECAUSE, IF YOU WANT A SELF PROPELLED WITH SPECIAL FEATURES THE WEIGHT JUMPS FROM 21 LBS (LIKE OUR OLD ONE) TO 27 OR MORE LBS WHICH IS UNWIELDY FOR ME (MALE) LET ALONE THE AVERAGE SIZED WOMAN! WHEN IT CAME I WAS TOTALLY SUPRIZED TO SEE IT WAS (EXACTLY) THE SAME MODEL WE'VE BEEN USING FOR ALMOST TWENTY YEARS. IT'S A WORKHORSE! ONLY HAD TO CHANGE THE MAIN ROTER BRUSH TWICE IN ALL THOSE YEARS IT'S WORST ATTRIBUTE WAS A STIFF CORD LOCATED SUCH THAT IT HAD BEEN NEARLY SEVERED IN A HALF DOZEN PLACES!


5 out of 5 stars Great Deal!   June 10, 2008
I bought this vacuum to replace a messy bagless one. Hoover is the brand to go to! This model has an indicator light to let you know when your carpet is clean. It is so powerful it almost drives itself. My carpets look newer! If you want a good vacuum at a reasonable price, this is the one to buy!
