Hoover U6436-900 TurboPower Self-Propelled WindTunnel Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner Review

I recently bought the Hoover Windtunnel U6436-900 (TurboPower 7600) to replace my old Hoover Windtunnel U6445-920 (Mach 6.9) which was "giving up the ghost" after 6 years of flawless service.I could have had the old vacuum fixed for less than half of what the new one cost, but I decided to turn back the clock and invest in a new vacuum.

The new U6436 is almost exactly the same as my old Hoover except that it stores tools on the back of the vacuum and now has room up front for the power attachment.Hoover Windtunnel is definitely as loud as ever too.That's because it's actually doing something.It's amazing how much suction these vacuums have when the bag is empty.By the time the bag is full, I estimate that suction decreases by 25%...which is still more than adequate by the way.

I compared the U6436 side-by-side with the Eureka TheBoss 4870GZ that my inlaws have.The Hoover beats the Eureka pretty solidly in power and ease of push thanks to the self propel feature. It really glides along like it is on iceskates or something...almost effortless.Since the Hoover costs 33% more, this is to be expected.The Eureka is quieter, and that's about it.

The product manual that came with the U6436 indicates that it has a 2 year warranty.I've seen conflicting reports on this on various other sites, but it is definitely 2 years...

A famous consumer magazine ranks this vacuum near the top, and I agree.I have owned Hoover Windtunnel for quite awhile now, and they are reliable and do a great job.The bags are cheap too, usually around $7-$8 for 3 of them.

In short, I highly recommend this vacuum.

Product Description:
Equipped with a powerful 12 amp motor, this self-propelled bagged upright vacuum cleaner delivers exceptional performance and virtually effortless cleaning in both forward and reverse modes. The unit's 15-inch-wide cleaning path helps get the job done quickly, while its patented WindTunnel technology provides a powerful dual air stream for enhanced dirt pickup and removal. In addition, dual edge groomers loosen and remove dust, dirt, and lint that collect along baseboards, and the variable height settings and on/off brush-roll control allow for switching from bare floors to carpets with ease. When the handle returns to its upright, locked position, the brush roll automatically shuts off and the unit directs all its power to tool suction. On-board tools include a crevice tool, an upholstery nozzle, a dusting brush, and two extension wands. Its deluxe stretch hose extends up to 11-feet when using both wands and the crevice tool. Even more, its on-board powered hand tool works great for vacuuming upholstered furniture, carpeted stairs, and hard-to-reach places. The unit also comes with allergen filtration that captures 100-percent of dust mites and 99.98-percent of ragweed and common grass pollens. Other highlights include a textured handle grip, fingertip "on/off" control, a full-width headlight to illuminate dark corners, a non-marking furniture guard, a check-bag indicator, a 31-foot power cord with quick-cord release, and a carrying handle for easy transport. The vacuum cleaner measures 13 by 15 by 43 inches and carries a two-year parts-and-labor warranty.

Dirt Devil M085590 Featherlite Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner Review

Approximately three years ago, my $200 Eureka vac finally stopped working and I purchased the featherlite to replace it.At that time I lived in a 1,400 sf apartment.Now I live in a 2,500 sft home.

For the past three years, this vacuum has served our family well.Pros:

1.Inexpensive.$40 or less in most places.
2.It picks up dirt, fuzz (and legos) as well or better than any other vacuum I've ever used.Really.Just change the bag when it gets full.
3.Light weight.It's very easy to manuver and my younger kids can use it.
4.Simplicity.This is a basic vac.It's easy to change the bag, wind the cord, and pull hair/crud out of the roller if necessary.
5.It's got a bag.This is a personal preference, but every bagless upright I've ever used creates a small dust storm when you empty it.The bag system on this one works well.

Cons:
1.I don't expect it to go past 5 years.It's clearly designed for low cost and light weight.However, so far so good.
2.It's pretty loud.Not the loudest I've used but it's not quiet.
3.The hose for attachments is cumbersome to use.My recommendation?Use a small canister vac and/or shop vac instead.Most uprights have on-board tools that don't work well.
4.I have several children, and one in particular that sheds a lot of long hair.All vac will get hair caught in the beater-bar underneath, but this one also seems to get hair caught in the bushings that support the bar.When this happens, the hair builds up in that area creating friction and eventually smelly hair smell.Not a huge problem but slightly annoying.

I intend to buy another one of these when mine gives out.If I have to spend $40 every 4-6 years to own a lightweight, easy to use, vacuum that cleans extremely well then I'm quite ok with that!I see no reason to blow $200-$400 on a large heavy vacuum that MIGHT last a little longer.
