Lily Belle: I am a Hoover wind tunnel fan. This is lightweight and picks up dog and cat hair great. Anyone that asks me about sweepers I always recommend this. The only downfall with this vacuum is that the attachment hose is very short with a very limited reach.

atonalad: A powerful vacuum, with easy cleaning and some good features. However, this is compromised by two key issues - industrial-level noise, for which I highly recommend wearing ear protection; and an industrial design flaw wherein the built-in inverted plastic "hook" at the bottom rear of the unit (around which the cord is wrapped) is hollow, critically weak, and broke within three months of use (not abuse). This could easily have been remedied by thicker plastic. You get what you pay for... and sometimes you don't.

Lou: Bought one of these many years ago. Tried different products and manufacturers when looking for a replacement, never quite got the same quality. Finally needed to replace my vacuum again and went back to buying this model and once it was out of the box realized how much I had missed the powerful suction and robust build. May be a little heavier than other rivals but small price to pay when it does the job so well. Stuck to Windtunnel 2 rather than upgrading to the 3 based on reviews which seemed to favour older model. No regrets so far.

Giules: A year later, still going strong.

No, it's no Dyson, but when you don't have a Dyson budget, this will do just fine. I am still absolutely appauled (as well as completely satisfied) with seeing how much dust ends up in the cannister. This is a powerful little vaccum and has been working great in our apartment. We have 2 kids and a non-shedding dog and a non-shoe wearing household and this vaccum STILL picks up tons of dirt generated.

It's actually motivated me to vacuum more often just for the weirdly satisfying glee I get from looking at how much dust it grabs from our carpet.

CONS: Not so good with hardwood floors, even on the lowest setting.

Aoife OLooney: The vacuum arrived promtly and on opening the box it was clear the vaccum was not new!
The inserts in the box were all damaged. The parts were not packed neatly as they would have been if straight off the packing line.
The hose was incredibly dusty and clearly dirty.
The tunnel that collects the dust was also very dusty and dirty!
I was not happy but I was in the process of moving into a new house and NEEDED to vacuum immediately before moving our furniture etc in and so had to go ahead and use the vacuum.
It works good. There is decent suction. The carpets come up good.
It is bulky and heavy.
Overall I’m happy with the functioning but disappointed with the quality and service

J-me: I usually a Dyson gal... have been for years. But I needed a new vacuum for the apartments I own and clean. Bought this for the price, but will keep it for the effectiveness. Excellent tools, very effective roller brush that picks up dog hair with very little effort. Light and easy to use. Clearly this Hoover company has benefitted from Dyson's technology and have made a comparable model at a much better price. A winner

Booklover: Dropped down to 1 star review from the original 2; this terrible machine died after less than 2 months of use! UGH. What a pain. Don't buy this!!
--------------------
I got a great deal on this vacuum, and needed a replacement, so I took a chance. I've used Sharks for years, but the price couldn't be beat on this one.
It has a lot of settings, however I find it's too aggressive on rugs, so I have to be very careful there.
It definitely does suck stuff up, but here's my biggest complaint: It's SO f'n LOUD! This could be -the- loudest vacuum I've ever used. It's near deafening.
I can't decide whether or not to return it just yet, because it's just not quite what I'm looking for.

Claire: I had purchased this vacuum because my 10 year old vacuum finally died. After thorough research, this seemed like the perfect model. I only needed it for two area rugs in a NYC apartment. The first time I used it, it was great!!! I was shocked how much dust was picked up and how clean my rugs became!! I used it a few more times, then three months later, it wouldn't suck at all. I cleaned the filter, I checked for clogs, and did everything the owners manual said. Nothing worked. Then, I plugged it in, and it didn't even turn on. It had completely died. If you would have asked me to review this product after a few times of use I would have said it was the best vacuum out there. Now I am so mad - it didn't even last a year! My other vacuum lasted 10! Definitely returning it and getting a different brand.

T_Rodeback: Our apartment has hard floors, but we got this primarily to clean our one 8x10 area rug that gets covered in pet hair from our medium-hair cat and short-hair dog. 5 stars from me because it works as advertised. It's not the best vacuum in the world--but I knew that up front when I only had to pay $78 for it. It does a good job cleaning the one 8x10 area rug in our apartment, but I don't know if I'd trust it if we had 800sqft of carpet to vacuum regularly. When we use the attachments to suck up pet hair from corners it doesn't fill the air with the nasty stuff that comes out of our shopvac. I clean it out after every use, including blowing out the "wind tunnel" parts with compressed air, and I think that has helped preserve its suction. We haven't had any problems with clogs, and it keeps our rug looking good.
