(More customer reviews)If your living environment is in the country with exposure to dirt, mud, animal hair & normal household dirt or dust, this vacuum is not for you! This machine is poorly designed & does not perform as advertised. Suction is so great it pulls dirt, debris & hair up through the collar cone filter & directly into the sealed HEPA chamber. Once the chamber plugs full of debris, the vacuum looses all suction & ability to clean. There are only two options for cleaning the chamber, once obstructed - take it to an authorized shop or dismantel the machine yourself. No one wants a vacuum that must be 'repaired' after minimal use, or one that must be repaired after every use. It clogged up before I could complete two rooms & although the initial obstruction was cleared, the unit now plugs up before finishing one room. Hoover appears to have no desire to fix the design flaw or make it right with anyone who foolishly spent money buying this product - Hoover will not accept a return, or provide an exchange to another vacuum in their product line. A word of advice I received from the authorized service shop that repaired (cleaned) the vacuum - this type of problem seems common with Hoover bagless models, especially the new windtunnel 2; don't buy anything but a bagged Hoover product.

Ideal for cleaning carpets, this 12 amp bagless upright vacuum cleaner features patented WindTunnel 2 technology, located in the floor nozzle, which forces the rotating brushes and airflow to work in harmony. It lifts and traps the dirt, preventing it from scattering, so dirt ends up in the cleaner, not on the floor. The unit's Embedded DirtFinder display alerts users to areas of the carpet that may need more cleaning attention, while its edge-cleaning abilities help remove dust, dirt, and lint that collect along baseboards. Even more, moving from carpets to hard-floor surfaces becomes effortless thanks to the unit's Surface Command electronic carpet-height adjustment. Simply turn the dial for the desired setting.
When in the upright position, the vacuum automatically shuts off the brush, focusing all the power into the hose. Its Real-Time tool system makes tool use easy with a handle that instantly converts to a telescopic wand and a Tag-Along grip to guide the cleaner. The telescoping quick-release wand and super-stretch hose combine for 12 feet of cleaning reach. On-board tools include a hard-floor brush to safely clean hard surfaces and a pet-hair tool with powerful suction and rotating brushes for stairs and upholstery. For added convenience, the unit's self-cleaning HEPA filter traps 100-percent of dust mites, ragweed, and common grass pollens, plus it cleans itself every six seconds to maintain cleaning power--no need to ever touch or replace the filter. Other highlights include soft wheels, a 14-inch cleaning path, a brilliant headlight to illuminate dark corners, adjustable handle height, a 31-foot power cord, a bottom-release dirt cup, and a lifetime belt. The vacuum cleaner measures 11 by 15 by 44 inches and carries a one-year parts-and-labor warranty.
