LOVE IT
This vacuum cleaner is everything as advertised. I just wish we got this sooner than waiting for other one to die. I believe it picked up dirt/dust left from the previous tenenants and we lived at our current residence for 2 years :)

ruined my new carpet
First use, it ruined part if my brand new carpet. The roller bars do not stop when using attachments. It frayed the carpet fibers. You can't turn the beater bars off at all. Poor design

    I would not buy this again
    There are some issues with tht vacumm that I am not satified with. First it only comes with onlt a Pivoting Dusting Tool (Brush) , and crevice tool. The dusting tool is useless unless your going to vacuum fan blades or anything up high, this comes in two pieces, the brush clips to the frame of the part that you insert into the vacuum hose, this brush will come apart at times while using it. The cord is 40 feet long which is a nice feature, but it does not automatically rewind. It is a real chore to rewind the cord by hand. I think it would have been better to have a shorter cord, than no auto rewind. This was billed as the best bagless upright, but when you read the fine print, this statement only refers to carpet floors. My entire house has tile floors, I also have no pets. I based my purchase on the statement best bagless upright, and that it apparently has the best suction. I have used it a few times, and I am just not satified with the parts or design. It does have good suction. I cannot turn of the rotary brush when using the hose and atachments. I cannot actually dust pictures, baseboard, door frames, etc because of the useless dusting tool. It also makes a lot of noise. I was offered some dusting tools because of a complant I made to the sellers, but I have not received them yet, in fact, I just received notice that have just been shipped. I don't have pets so can't say if it is good to clean up after pets, it pains me to say, but I would not recommed it based on the features and lack of tools.

    Great Vacuum Cleaner
    I have been very satisfied with windtunnel3. Have had only a few months. It is very easy to maneuver. The suction is great. Would give five stars if only it had a rewind feature, got use to it on other vacuum cleaner. But it definitely a candidate for five stars.

    This vacuum is powerful!
    Purchased for our Maid Service. It has not let us down so far. We can see it is well built. Higher grade plastics were used for sure. The suction is incredible on this and it has made a noticeable difference in our abilities to quickly and efficiently serve our clients/families. The canister and filters are easy to clean and disassemble/reassemble easily. Super long cord makes it easy to clean several areas without moving to a new outlet.

    This works great!
    Two dogs. At least three walks a day dragging in mud, rock salt, etc. and this was the vacuum we needed to clean it up. Thanks Hoover. As someone in the family just put it - the Cadillac of vacuums...

    Emptying the dust cup is a pain in the biscuit
    It works remarkably well: good suction, good maneuverability. The articulated dust wand attachment is nearly useless because the head bends back with so little pressure. Useful on the hardwood as well as carpet. The twist lock removal of the dust cup, however, is a gigantic pain. But worth it for the price.

    Plastic loose fitting components
    First use was efficient but the gasket between the canister and vacuum is not tight and can easily lose its seal. Also the vacuum attachments regularly came apart during use and the brush was unable to hold its position when in use inhibiting my ability dust in hard places without repeatedly readjusting. I do not think that the quality of this product is good enough to last.

    Great product very smooth.
    This hoover vacuum is the best vacuum ever. It has great suction cleans amazingly well. It is really strong. It doesn't make too much sound, and it is smooth. I am satisfied about this product in many ways.

    Engineering disaster
    Horrible. I have 2 short hair chocolate labs. Canister constantly plugs up then you have to fish material out of throat to canister. I can hand pick the hair up faster than the time it takes me to clean it out. The canister is simply designed poorly.

    Not worth the price
    Very heavy and hard to push the lower you adjust it to your floor(on carpet). Brush roller leave one strip to the left side that doesn't even touch the floor I use carpet freshening powder. so when I vacuum , I have to keep going over where the strip is left. I looked in brushes, nothing stuck or wrapped around them. Makes a weird noise also.I've bought cheaper no name products that worked better. I bought it because I have pets. It doesn't work great in rooms the pets don't go in , so you can imagine how well it works in the rooms that they do go in.If my kids didn't rip the box all up when opening, I'd return it.

    No, Not the way you Redesigned this Vacuum.
    I have loved your vacuums forever, over 40 years. This one, the redesign of it is awful. Why does the Bin disconnect from the entire vacuum? It does not lock as it has over the past 15 years at least that we have had bagless. I have used your vacuums for the main purpose with my injuries to my body your vacuum has handles everywhere that allow you to lift the vacuum a little off the floor and move it over .... with the way you redesigned this one that is impossible without the whole dust unit coming disconnected from the rest of the vacuum. Why did you do this???? A woman who uses your vacuum for cleaning houses, or cleaning their own small apartment didn't TEST DRIVE this VACUMN, I GUARANTEE YOU. I have tried to use it Three times now and I am TRYING to adjust to this change in this new vacuum and I am going to try a few more times to use it and if I can't find another way around this issue I will have to return your vacuum. This is very disappointing. I have had my heart set on this vacuum for over 8 months and everything else is okay, I love that someone got smart and made the attachments RED so you can find them so much easier in the dark under a bed. The pet attachment is still NOT a very useful attachment. I have all three from the Last Three Hoovers I have owned and NONE of them work. I still use my old Brush attachment from my very first hoover.

    Best Vacuum Cleaner on the Planet!!!
    I purchased this vacuum cleaner in 2018 and it was absolutely fabulous!!! It was inadvertently thrown away in 2019 and I had a less desirable model purchased for me. I dealt with the other model for almost two years. When I ran across the model details for the WindTunnel I purchased before; I purchased it again. I am totally satisfied with my vacuum cleaner NOW and the ease of my cleaning experience. I have only ever used Hoover products and this vacuum cleaner has been the best yet!!! I have had two different models in the past few years and this model is fantastic.

    Sad Sucker
    Bought this vacuum 5 days ago. Was amazing out of the package. Perfect attachments, exceptional cleaning and carpet combing power. Picked up everything my existing vacuum and existing daily use shampooer have missed! Then night before last, wasn't suctioning well. Thought is was me, that I was exhausted and wasn't adjusting for carpet height. Yesterday turned it on. Sounds like it's working but even hair clippings were picking up. Today turned it on again and realized, duh, rotators aren't working and so much debris was stuck to the underside that it wasn't sectioning. Attachments helped me clean underside after I painstakingly dug out impacted pet hair, and debris. Rollers still aren't working after a good cleaning. So so disappointed! I also bought the powerdash. Worked fairly well, not as well as the smart wash. Better suction but terrible rollers. They don't agitate the carpet, or mattress surface so well and suction was highly disappointing! Took a lot of passes to see fair results. Again, would return if returning was easy. I had already gone through two smart washes and refused to try a third time as they all broke shortly after purchase. I was hoping this would suffice short time until I move in a few weeks. I also cannot adjust the height. Was really excited about getting the great results I saw in YouTube reviews. The vacuum was an great joy to have when working. But noelw, 5 days after purchase I am stuck with buyers remorse and now have to pony up cash for replacements. Frustrating.

    Roller doesn't work
    Literally was not even able to vacuum once with it. The belt that came on this brand new vacuum is so loose that the roller will not spin. This is a piece of junk. Now I have to try and box the dang thing back up to return it.

    Spectacular, and not so spectacular.
    It might be one of the best carpet vacuums ever. In using it on our carpets, I have discovered a sad fact that I didn't really expect...our carpets (okay, WE!) were living in squalor. There was a vast plush realm of dirt, dust, pet hair, and heaven knows what else living in my "regularly vacuumed" carpets. After several vacuumings with this things, I am *still* in awe of what is picked up. Now, the other side. This unit is terrible on hard surfaces. It simply doesn't pick up well, period. The wand, while cleverly extendable, is woefully short. The pet hair attachment doesn't live up to expectation. Perhaps if brush and rubber beater were somehow combined in the unit it might be more effective, but the beater only approach just doesn't do the trick. The dusting attachment is useful, but imperfect. I do think the nozzle attachment for tight areas is good, but the short wand you plug it into just doesn't allow me to get to certain places that I could with a previous unit. Another reviewer mentioned that the clasp on the bin is rather cheesy, and I do agree. I suspect it will fail at some point. I will use it until it dies, then likely go with another variety. This unit's shortcomings would keep me from purchasing it again. It just lacks a certain refinement. There is more, but I will call this enough. Good luck in your search!

    Do not recommend for high pile carpeting!
    Great on hard floors and low pile carpeting. TERRIBLE on high pile carpeting. I've tried everything, had contacted Hoover directly and they didn't have any answers why it doesn't work well on high pile. The vacuum has pulled the fibers in my carpeting throughout. Very frustrating!
    Looking for a good vacuum!!

    Great suction, but ...
    This vacuum definitely has suction power. I like the fact that when using the hose/tools, the beater bar stops rotating. DOWNSIDE: there is no brush attachment with the tools, which I had to order separately. Also, the toggle that holds the hose in place has broken (cheap plastic, no doubt) so the hose just dangles unless I tape it with duct tape. I contacted HOOVER about a replacement part and was given a part number and basically a 'good luck with it' message. This is after only 7 months' of use. Why don't companies stand behind their products anymore? Kinda unhappy so this is why I've given only 3 stars...

    Hoover High Performance Bagless Upright Vacuum
    I regret to say this is my 3rd Hoover vacuum cleaner in 8 years , the first one is still good but is a bag vacuum, the last 2nd two, the last being the Hoover High Performance Bagless Upright Vacuum purchased September 7,2016, is really cheaply made. the side loops that hold the hand vacuum hose has already broken off and the paddle to change from no brush to brush is iffy, sometimes it takes 2 or 3 times to get it to work. I am returning the vacuum.

    Better than a Dyson
    I tested a new Dyson DC41 Animal $599.00 and a Hoover High Performance UH72600 $175.00 and the Hoover kicks butt. I vacuumed my carpet with my old vacuum with a new bag, then half with the Dyson and the other half with the Hoover. The Dyson had a 4" ball of my dogs hair and the Hoover had a 6" ball. Then I vacuumed over the Dyson's half with the Hoover and picked up more hair. I tried the Dyson over the Hoover's half, but no hair. All the test I tried the Hoover was the leader. But I must say that the Dyson had a longer cord. Oh I also tried a $120.00 Hoover Elite Max Capacity Pet and found it worked just as good as the High Performance. I just like the High Performance better.
