Hoover WindTunnel Max Bagged Upright Vacuum - Powerful Cleaning for Carpets and Hard Floors

Peggy Porter: First of all, having a bag is the cleanest way to clean. The power is excellent and the cord is long. The best attachments are a plus, especially the power brush for upholstery, I have cats and a dog. At the business I worked at for 20 years I always sold Hoover vacuums the most.

Ken Belmont: I'm in Toronto, Ontario and we get ripped off for everything up here... just in case you Americanos weren't aware! So I paid $300 CAD for this lovely piece of plastic PLUS $66 "import fee"! And just like I suspected, it arrived cracked and broken just like everything else I purchase online. There's just no words to describe how much fun I'm having here!!

S A: The suction is great. The attachment " wand" to clean couches and other crevices makes a terrible noise when its not against something its cleaning.. the biggest issue with the whole vacuum is that its soo loud it feels like its drilling in or better yet " vacuuming" your soul. I read reviews that its loud but I thought they're over-exaggerating.. but no. I actually had to wear head phones while having it on for only a few seconds for a quick job.

Idk.. its a good vacuum suction wise but using this more than once a week or so might result in hearing problems. I'm thinking about selling it which is unfortunate as I've only had it since December so its under a year old but, I'm concerned for my hearing.

RobinRobin: UPDATE - The Shutoff Pulley (previously referred to as the Belt tension wheel) pictured, was repaired under the warranty. All previous issues with the spinning of the brush have been resolve and the brush work flawlessly on all carpets. I am very satisfied with the suction and cleaning ability of this model. I increased my rating from 1 Star to 4 Stars. If you smell rubber burning inspect that Pulley right away while it is still under warranty. As mentioned below, this was a common problem mentioned in reviews.

ORIGINAL REVIEW- I purchased a basic WindTunnel, the blue one, just over 25 years ago. It ran like a champ, I had to replace the brush over time, replaced the on/off switch after 20 years and replaced belts maybe five times. No real problems, it was a basic workhorse and I loved it. I purchased the red Hoover WindTunnel Max UH30600 to replace it after it died and it was delivered on 1-25-2019. I had expected to get the same long life from a Hoover. That was not the case, burning rubber smell from day one. I assumed it had something to do with the tension belt wheel engaging. Less than six months after purchasing the vacuum, the brush stopped spinning. I thought the...

Michael D.Michael D.: Let me start by saying I am (was) a die-hard fan of Hoover. After previous disappointment with Kenmore, Kirby, and Shark, I was impressed with my Hoover WindTunnel Anniversary Edition (U6485-900). It was so flawless that I swore off all other brands. These days, Consumer Reports recommends a Kenmore (#1) over this WindTunnel Max (#4), but there are a lot of comments on their site and Amazon about how Consumer Reports got it wrong and how this vacuum is terrible. I dismissed those and bought this vacuum anyway. Now I, too, am very disappointed with Hoover.

Let’s start with the ATTACHMENTS. The EXTENSION WAND is a friction-telescopic design based on the Kenmore model that I hated (for that reason). The friction design is flawed to begin with. It’s just not robust enough—if you’re extending it, you’ll invariably pull the wand out of the hose, and if you’re vacuuming with it, you’ll push it back into itself. It's not even that long, and the friction joint loses suction. (The WindTunnel AE has two static extension wands housed on the side of the vacuum, and they were great.) The CREVICE TOOL hides inside the extension wand during storage, which is supposed to save...

Samsara23: Good entry level vacuum. I have used this now every 2-3 days for the last 4 weeks in my 3 bedroom bungalow, we have 2 goldendoodles and a cat, and haven't had to change the bag yet. I have gone from a Dyson (which has stopped working well after 6 years) and I'm decently happy with this vacuum (for now). My only complaint with it is that it's a bit heavy too push if not on the right carpet height setting... and yes, having to manually change that every time I go from one area to the next is a bit of a pain. Will I invest in another higher end vacuum after using this one? Yes, eventually. But for now it does a great job with getting rid of pet hair, so I'm happy enough with this purchase.

Zantheman: Replaced an older eureka boss 4870 ( green model) with this Hoover and am very happy with this model. Hoover has easier to engage pedal for vacuuming, is a lot lighter and easier to move around and seems to have very good suction power. Seems to be pretty well engineered . Tools are also convenient and easy to use. No need to switch to hose button like the eureka, just keep the vacuum upright and attach tool to hose and you are good to go. Brush stops rotating automatically when you use the hose. I do not have have any tools falling off when bumping into objects as some people(on other sites) have mentioned. Great value ,especially when compared to higher end models .
