Hoover T-Series WindTunnel Bagged Upright Vacuum - Powerful Corded Cleaning for Your Home

matt zunke: I purchased this vacuum 5 years ago and it is still working great! It has very good suction and is easy to use. The controls are very intuitive. I live in a single story home, so I have been unable to test on stairs, but the attachments work great on furniture. The vacuum itself is light weight and compact for easy storage.

Berhane TEOUME-LESSANE (Pen name =Yared Lesage): Unfortunately, I did not try it immediately after delivery. I should have never bought this cleaner: (1) it is heavy, clumsy and very noisy. It is not made for senior retirees like us, living in condo units. It is good for large corridors and for non-inhabited areas of a building. I was attracted by the fact that the filters are said to be washable, thus sparing us from pinching from our meager pensions for purchase of new filters. (2) As per Instructions, I tried to check on the Filter Bag (1/4 full) and the other filters. The Secondary (horizontal) filter was clean. (3) As for the Final Filter (vertical), I was unable to dislodge it from its "cage". I pushed down on the Tab with reasonable force, short of breaking it, it wouldn't move down even by a fraction of a mm. It might be too late to return it. If so, and since it is still under Warranty, you have to tell me where in Montreal (Canada) I should take it for solving at least the indicated problem. Waiting for your reply & wishing you a happy day.

A. K.: The suction is strong but the hose does not stretch because of that. So you have to fight it when trying to use additional attachments (other than the main power head). My previous, similar vacuum cleaner didn't have that problem.

KColt: My last vacuum was a canister. I had tired of dragging the canister around so went back to an upright and am happy for that. It is easier to move around the house- no lifting! - and actually easier to store in my closet space. It is a fairly lightweight vacuum but still somewhat difficult to push on carpet ... I may have to try different settings. It picks up dirt and dog hair well but I still like to finish my hardwoods with a swiffer. The cord is a good length but I do get annoyed with all the cord getting tangled. One thing I miss that was on my canister is a retracting mechanism to store the cord which is much nicer than having to wrap the cord round and round when done. There is a light on the front of the vacuum but it does not shine on to the floor which would be nice...I do not know the function of this light. The vacuum arrives broken down into different parts so it has to be put together. Directions are pretty easy to follow and the only tool I needed was a Philips screwdriver. One bag is included. I have not yet needed to change the bag so cannot comment on that aspect at this point. The squared off edges prevent doing a good job of cleaningtight...

FDMTech: Had it for few months now. We had a bag-less upright from another manufacturer and the filters had to be cleaned after every use or it wouldn't pick up the dog hair off the carpet. This does a much better job of that. Also, it filters the air better. There's not as much dust settling on the tables, cabinets etc after vacuuming floor. It has brush on/off switch which is really good when using the hose so it's not burning a hole in the floor. Haven't had to change the bag yet, but it wasn't hard to install, and will be much better than emptying a dirt cup after every use. It's lighter than the old one and was easy to assemble. The only negative I have at this point is the light. It's ridiculously dim. Still, a very minor issue that I resolved by upgrading the lamp and we don't vacuum in the dark anyways.

William M.: My last Hoover upright has lasted 40 years but wear and tear were evident. The new one appears to do the job alright but I do not expect the same lifespan from it. I like the long power cord and the on/off foot switch for the carpet agitator. The small power brush for stairs and furniture seems effective at removing pet hair.The fact that it has a disposable filter bag was one of the features that I wanted as most stores only seem to sell bagless vacuums.. I would recommend this one as a medium priced one

Frances: Great vacuum for the price. I have always believed in bagged vacuums as emptying bagless vacuums is pretty disgusting, and the dust flies around (I am sensitive to dust). Works great on my low-pile carpets (or bare floor). Comes with 3 tools — crevice, upholstery brush, and a power brush-head for stairs. All in all I would say that I am happy with this vacuum, for the price of under $200 Cdn. I was not willing to shell out $600+ for a Dyson or a Miele — so bagged Hoover upright seemed like a logical choice. One criticism is that the attachment hose is on the short side, but that’s usually the case with upright vacuums (get a canister vacuum if you want a long hose... then again you might lose suction!). Simple vacuum to use. I would say that it is neither heavy nor light... somewhere in between. The suction is really strong when you attach the crevice tool, so you have to be careful where you point. Very easy to use, not a complicated machine. Seems sturdy enough.

West: I was looking for a vacuum that was budget friendly but that had some power to it. After sifting through a ton of reviews I decided this was the right one for us and I have not been disappointed. Here's a little bit about what I've put this vacuum through so far. I bought it 5 months ago when we moved into a new house. We have since replaced all the carpet in the house so while it is new carpet it's still shedding quite a bit and this vacuum does a great job of removing all the excess carpet. The house has been under various remodeling projects over the last 5 months. I've used this vacuum to suck up drywall and plaster dust left behind along with some sawdust. The drywall dust had just permeated the carpet but after a good slow sweep with this vacuum the carpet was so much cleaner, softer and smelled like it should. I have no doubt this vacuum did a great job getting all that nasty drywall dust out. It has also been used to just keep up with a house with 5 people (3 of which are little children) and a dog and it has just surpassed my expectations.

It has more suction than any vacuum I've ever owned and I like that it is self propelled, I'm not...

Lengo67: I've only used this once, so this review is subject to change, but I doubt that it will.

Go here: [...] There is a button labeled 'video instruction guide'. Click that to see a video on how to assemble this unit upon arrival and how to use it, save for showing you how to use the attachments.

I find this vacuum well designed. The hose is flexible, and wraps around an upper support before plugging in to the cleaning head. The hose clicks into place, and need not be forced into place as with other vacuums. The hose is easily removed by clicking a button. There is no danger of the hose falling out of the unit, and spewing dust all over your home or apartment, a danger that exists on many inexpensive vacuums.

There is a height adjustment that has five levels of height. This is accomplished by pressing down on the adjustment knob then turning it to the height you want. Then upon release of the button, it snaps into place.

The rotating beater can be turned on or off, so that you can clean linoleum or hardwood floors. This is accomplished by a foot pedal. The pedal is protected from breaking by the housing. It cannot be depressed too far,...
