I Love This Vacuum
I bought this vacuum earlier this year... This is the top of the line Hoover Bag type vacuum. I absolutely love it. I don't think you can find a better vacuum for anywhere near the price. Un-remanufactured, these sell for $250-$300. As far as I can tell it is exactly the same as the Model U6439-900 that is shown on Hoover's website.
Before I ordered it, I was a little skeptical of the "remanufactured" aspect. I was worried that the vacuum would be dirty or scratched up. The one I received looked as if it was brand new! There was no evidence it had ever been used.
This vacuum has outstanding suction. It includes the "dirt sensor" which tells you if there is any dirt being picked up. I first thought that this was a gimick, but it really does work. The vacuum also includes the powered hand tool which has its own rotating brush. One nice feature is that you can turn the main powered brush off when vacuuming hard floors. You can't turn off the powered...
not bad, but no high-end machine, and LOUD!
Well, based on the Consumer Reports review, I thought I was getting a top of the line machine. Not so. For the low price, I didn't mind the remanufactured aspect, but I did expect something somewhat better. The suction is decent, the on-board hose is ridiculously short - it stretches to 6 feet but that drags the machine with it or topples it. But my biggest problem is how freaking LOUD it is. It sounds like you're in an airport hangar! It is so loud that you can't hear the phone ring when standing next to it! My old (and hard to get bags for) Riccar whispers in comparison. Had I tested this in a store, I would not have made the purchase, based on noise alone and the absurdly short hose. I am considering buying the extended hose, which is 15 feet (advertised as -reaching- 20 feet WITH the wands and crevice tool) but if it's as tightly wound as this one, it won't be much better.
Still, if you don't mind the roar, it's a good vacuum for the remanufactured price, along with...
I am impressed!
I love my WindTunnel! I wanted to write a review right away but decided i would give this vacuum cleaner the run for the money first, on our 6 bedroom home, 2 dogs.. (woah). I have had it for 6 months now.. time for the review!
The suction is A+ great, and the noise complained about by other reviews is nothing unusually loud - when i turn on a vacuum cleaner i expect to hear it =). I have never seen a silent vacuum cleaner.
The self-propelled feature is marvelous, and removes the strain of vacuuming large areas. One of my favorite features (my back no longer cries for mercy).
The hose - i have read some complaints about the short hose.
Here is my take on it:
The hose is a perfect length. Its tight and secures to the body neatly and does not bulk down the easiness of vacuuming with a vacuum with a hose built into its body. The attachment tubing (there are two), fit neatly on the side, securely, too, i might add, are very appropriate for...
