Hoover U5753-900 WindTunnel Bagless Vacuum Review

(More customer reviews)
The Freakn' Bagless Hoover Windtunnel:

1.There are two filters that need to be changed every 6-12 months (yah, right...more like every three months) and they cost oh, between $38-$50 depending on where you can find them...Wal-Mart? No, they don't carry this type...Target? If you are really lucky.Sears carries them, for about $49.00 a pop...and that is just one filter...you need 2.
2.You can't empty these puppies in the house because you have to tap (more like beat) the filter on the side of the garbage can and dust goes EVERYWHERE, YUCK!So, what do you do?You take it outside to beat it in the garbage can, then with the smallest gust of wind you are covered, COVERED, I'm talking an abominable brown snowman, with dust and dead spiders and anything else you sucked up thinking it was gone forever.
3.The screen...yes, not only the filter needs to be cleaned after EVERY...and I mean with EVERY use..there is this fancy little screen that you have to pull up and pick the caked on "microdust" off of and what do you use to do that????Well, if you are on the ball (which I rarely am) you remembered your small wire brush...but if you didn't you can't really run back in the house holding this nasty dirty thing flinging yuck all over your house...so, you use your finger nail, yes, desperate times call for desperate measures.
4.It burns through belts...twice a year at least (they either break or stretch) not a huge expense, but a lame and time consuming one.
5.It looses suction, bad, after about 10-15 minutes of vacuuming, and then you have to do the whole filter cleaning all over again.
6.The attachment hose pops out ALL THE TIME.SO, you either learn to vacuum holding the hose down and in...or (more probably) you get it in there really good and pray it doesn't come out and resolute to never touch it again.
7.BOTTOM LINE:I have had this Windtunnel for about 2 years, I was not impressed the first time I used it...furious the first time I had to empty it...but I thought, well, maybe it will grow on me....Um, No.I actually stopped vacuuming, I hated it, I hated the waste of time for practically no reward, I hated the dust everywhere, I hated the expense, don't waste your time, money and sanity.
8.Okay, with all that said, I purchased a sweet little vacuum from Wal-mart a few months ago, and I have been waiting to find something wrong with it to pop up but I has not been disappointing yet.I have gone through 1 bag, (I vacuum almost everyday with 2 toddlers), but the bags are really compact I was surprised how much they hold.The light went off to change the bag and it took a whole, oh, 30 seconds for the whole process, the dirt was gone, in the garbage, just like that.And the suction is amazing.Go get this vacuum, today.Do not waist anymore brain cells on a bagless. !!!GE 12 AMP, 2 motor, home cleaning system!!!It's a canister and sucks like...well, something that sucks really, really great!Lol, I actually love to vacuum, really!Plus, the best part...it is only a little over $100.00 and it has a filter but it comes free with the bags.Cool. Get this vacuume today...now...go!

The picture is not what the W2 bags are.They are fairly hard to find and have a green plastic attachment on the bag that can open and close.Please beware of what you are buying.You will probably have to return it.The W2 bags are only in packages of 2 and are HEPA not basic bags.

Hoover U5468-900 WindTunnel Supreme Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner Review

Hoover U5468-900 WindTunnel Supreme Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When my husband and I decided to replace our 12-year old Hoover, we did hours of internet research on vacuums.Eventually, we decided to stick with a bag model, as dealing with canisters and filters sounded like too much trouble (plus, we don't have pets, so we didn't really see the need).After weighing various factors, from special features to ease of use to price, we decided to go with this Hoover Windtunnel model.

We got a great price using Amazon's discount offer, and the vacuum shipped very quickly despite our choice of Super Saver shipping.The unit required only simple assembly, although I should note that our package was missing a required bolt, so we had to contact Hoover for a replacement and wait another week or so before we were able to complete assembly and use the vacuum.Finally, we had the opportunity to try our new product.The first thing we noticed was the sound, as this vacuum, while still loud, is noticeably quieter than our old Hoover.Second, the cord is significantly longer (about 30 feet), which is very convenient for maneuvering around our home.My husband also appreciated the convenience of the headlight, although to be fair, most newer models include this feature.

As far as cleaning ability goes, this vacuum does a good job.It doesn't necessarily out-perform our old vacuum, but it does seem to stir up less dust.Also, the larger vacuum head speeds up the chore time a bit (although it also makes it harder to fit in tight places).The dirt indicator light did seem to be consistent with areas that required a bit more attention, which was nice.Another feature of this vacuum is the build-in handle at the unit's base for cleaning stairs; this was a nice idea, but my husband (who does the majority of the vacuuming in our house--lucky me!) found it to be a bit cumbersome and uncomfortable to use.

Overall, we are happy with our choice of this vacuum, a solid performer that can be purchased via Amazon at a very reasonable price.If you are living in a home with no pets and looking for a good basic vacuum, this would be an excellent choice.

UPDATE JULY 2008:Unfortunately, I need to downgrade my review of this vacuum, as its performance has deteriorated over time, and we are currently in the market to purchase a new one.My husband, who is the main user of the vacuum, compiled the following list of complaints:

1. The on/off switch ceased working shortly after the one-year warranty period expired.Currently, the vacuum can only be turned on or off by plugging and unplugging the unit from an electrical outlet.

2. The height adjuster failed, also shortly after the one-year warranty period expired; the vacuum now leaves an odd-looking wave pattern on the carpet unless it is used at the highest setting (which is the least effective).

3. The natural forward momentum of the vacuum stopped after only a few months of use, making the unit more difficult to push.

4. The dirt indicator light seems arbitrary and thus virtually useless.

5. The vacuum is awkward to use on stairs:the place to grab is not a handle--rather, it is just an indentation in the plastic, which becomes painful to hold after only a few seconds.

6. The cord does not remain attached to the clamps on vacuum during use: when the cord is fully extended, it pulls loose of the clamps, causing it to constantly get underfoot.

7. The vacuum's motor "revs" loudly at random times and for no apparent reason.

8. The dirt bags are difficult both to attach and to remove.

9. The vacuum does not perform well on hard floors: it blows dirt around, necessitating several passes.

10. The vacuum feels heavy and has a wide head, making cleaning in tight spaces difficult.

after reading many reviews from many different sources we decided to purchase this vacuum. we ended up getting it from costco as it was quite a bit cheaper than on amazon at the time. i have to say that we've been thrilled with this vacuum so far. it does a wonderful job on our carpet leaving no trace of dog hair behind. the dirt sensor is a fun addition although i'm not completely sure what it's thinking sometimes. the self-propel feature is great and works effortlessly with normal vauuming gestures gliding the vacuum along the floor with ease.

we were looking at some dyson vacuums as well but after going to the store and test driving both models the dyson vacuums, although great to look at, seemed heavy and awkward to use most of the time. the hoovers seemed to have a good vacuum feel to them.

the set of attachments is also nice and are very easy to use.

Product Description:
Equipped with patented WindTunnel technology, this bagged upright vacuum delivers powerful, deep-down cleaning performance. The self-propelled unit offers nearly effortless maneuverability in both forward and reverse, while three distinct air channels lift and trap dirt, keeping it from scattering back into the carpet, so dirt ends up in the cleaner not on the floor. The unit also traps 99.97-percent of dust and pollens down to 5 microns in size thanks to its allergen filter bag. Even more, it provides a deluxe stretch hose, a complete on-board tool set for above-floor cleaning, and a pet-hair tool with rotating brushes that effectively removes stubborn pet hair and dirt from upholstery and carpeted stairs. Other thoughtful details include non-marring wheels with bearings for lower push effort on carpet and safe use on bare floors, custom cleaning controls for moving from carpet to bare floors with ease, and an ergonomic D-grip handle for added comfort and control. The cleaner also offers fingertip on/off power control, five-position height adjustment, edge-cleaning bristles, a headlight, and a 31-foot power cord. The vacuum cleaner measures 13 by 15 by 43 inches and carries a three-year limited warranty.

I have two dogs, and have owned Dyson, Kenmore and other vacuums, none have lifted dirt and dog hair like this vacuum does at a fraction of the price that I had paid for the Dyson.The vacuum easily comes apart and all parts can be cleaned.The self-propelled feature is necessary since this is a heavy vacuum.The best feature for me is the ability to fully remove the agitator brush roll to remove the pet hair.Well-designed and easy to assemble and operate.Unfortunately, due to poor shipping, the vacuum box was damaged and the unit itself received some exterior damage.It might be better to find this product on sale in the store.

Product Description:
Equipped with Hoover's patented WindTunnel technology, this bagless upright vacuum cleaner effectively lifts and traps dirt and debris, so it ends up in the cleaner not scattered back out onto the floor. With red and green lights, its embedded DirtFinder system indicates areas that need more cleaning attention. The green "clean" light remains on while vacuuming except when the detector senses a larger amount of dirt; then the red "dirty" light will illuminate to suggest additional vacuuming in the area until the light changes back to green. The unit's motorized brushroll picks up even deep-down dirt in the thickest of carpeting, while its brushroll shut-off switch makes it possible to transition from carpets to bare-floor surfaces with ease. For added convenience, the vacuum cleaner comes equipped with a flexible hose and a handheld pet-hair tool with rotating brushes that effectively lifts and removes stubborn pet hair and dirt from upholstery and carpeted stairs. Other highlights include a self-propelled design for nearly effortless use and smooth maneuverability, a HEPA filter that traps up to 99.97-percent of dust and pollens down to 0.3 microns in size, an easy-empty dirt cup, and a comfortable handle with thumb-activated controls. The vacuum cleaner measures approximately 11 by 16 by 43 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Hoover WindTunnel T-Series Upright Vacuum, Bagged, UH30300 Review

After going through 2 dysons, a bissel, and a Hoover platinum bagless in the last 8 years, I decided my problem was not all my cats, dogs and messy children- but the "bagless" vac instead. I did this get version at Sears since I could test drive it there. I have never had a vac with so much suction!!! I test drove the kenmores, dysons and new LG- but there was no comparison. You don't need an self propulsion on this model b/c once you turn it on, the suction is so great it moves itself across the floor. I know it's not super fancy like the others- but it's nice to have the brush on/off as a foot pedal on the base you can press easily and it's easy to just drop the bag out when it's full. Great job Hoover!

Hoover WindTunnel Canister Vacuum, Bagless, S3755 Review

Hoover WindTunnel Canister Vacuum, Bagless, S3755
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This product delivers, exactly as advertised. It is good on floors, powerful on carpets, and is also fairly attractive. Although the toggle on-off switch can get annoying, with that same toggle switch you can "dial up" the suction power of the vacuum, which comes in handy often. Onboard tools are easy to reach and easy to attach. The dirt cup, like I imagined, is messy to use and fills up quickly: I'd advise to empty it when you're taking out the garbage so that the dust doesn't float up every time you open up the trash can or throw something away. You can't beat the lifetime HEPA filter; it even comes with a tiny brush to clean it with. Other vacuums (like the Sanyo dirthunter canister) need to have their filters replaced at $15 a pop. The power cord can be retracted using a pedal with your foot - very convenient. The noise level isn't too bad - I wouldn't say it's the most quiet vacuum but I'm willing to handle a little bit of noise for a little more performance. This vacuum rates better than other canisters on carpets and it's really true. It weighs comparably to other canisters and is not too heavy for a small person to easily carry and maneuver. I was looking for a vacuum that would perform well at a lower price, and be easy to use and maintain, with not too much strain on the ears. I am surprised and glad to say that this Hoover delivers.
