AWESOME VACUUM!!!!!

My previous vacuum was a bagless Eureka and wow that thing was terrible. I had always had great luck with Hoover in the past and got really sick of cleaning out the bagless container after every use so I searched Walmart.com for a hoover with a bag. WOW, I AM EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH THIS PURCHASE!!!! It really sucks up the dirt. And it has a light on the front. Hoover should list that in the features because I wanted one with a light and didn't think I would be able to get one for this price. Anyway, it's a GREAT vacuum. Buy this...You'll love it!!!

I absolutely LOVE this vacuum. It is exactly what I have been looking for, and it is SO easy to assemble too! It cleans well, and I love the lighting sensor which turns green when the carpet is clean in that particular area. It is well built but not too heavy to push around when cleaning. I highly recommend this vacuum to all!!

Seems to pick up well. Easy to push. Pretty easy to assemble, BUT, you must following instructions to a tee - I removed a clip before it told me to, so I had to take the whole thing apart and put back together.
Belt broke on 2nd use. Very loud. Disappointed in short length of hose to use with tools; of course, you can 'purchase' the extended length hose. Electric cord should be longer as well.
Still, again, does seem to pickup dirt.

I only had this vacuum for about 2 weeks and the belt broke. My Walmart didn't have the right belt so I actually had to buy it online from Hoover and it took over a week to get here. If anyone has kids and animals you know that not vacuuming for over a week doesn't look petty. =0) It's a good vacuum all around though.

This product meets all my expections and more. I especially like the dirt sensor function, as it tells me what areas need the most attention. I have always used Hoover products and this model just confirms my confidence in them.

I Hate My Old Hoover Windtunnel Died

I purchased this Hoover in April 2011. After 4 months of use, it will not pick up anything! I purchased this Hoover because I had a similar one that I purchase in the late 90's, and it was excellent in suction and leaving my carpet pristine. I got rid of it, because it started to have an odor, and eventually died. I replaced it with this one, and now I am regretting it. I only use the HEPA cloth bag filters from the Hoover store, so I am not sure what the problem is. I am very sad because Hoover has not lived up to the rave reviews that I have been giving them for all of these years.

I have been pleasantly surprised by how well I like this vacuum! It arrived in only 2 days at my home and was easy to assemble. The suction is great, everything is stored "on board" and it is very lightweight. It has many features that add to the appeal of this vacuum. This is a great buy!

Green is Clean feature

The vacuum appears to do an outstanding job. The Green and Red lights which indicate whether or not it is picking up dirt in the area being vacuumed saves time and effort while vacuuming. We have many cats, and use a bagless vac first for most of the hair, and then the Hoover Hepa as a "finishing" vac. We are very happy with the results.
Pros: Suction, Cord Length, Ease of Use, Size & Weight, Design, quiet
Cons: hepa bags not @ wmart

I have the machine for about a month and so far it's working so good I have not regretted having bought it. Many people had said it had a short hose which is true but again if it is made too long it would feel bulky. I am happy so far.

Quite Satisfied

The vacuum cleaner came about a week sooner than your estimated arrival time.
We've used it just a few times, but it operates great so far.
The assembly instructions could have been in larger print and larger illustrations
so that you could look at them while doing the assembly.
This is a replacement of a Hoover Convertable Older Model which lasted many years.
Overall very pleased with the product.
Pros: Suction, Cord Length, Ease of Use, Size & Weight, Design

I got this vacuum in '07, it worked great until last week (doesn't pick up anymore). It DOES NOT work well with hardwood floors.
I am going to be purchasing the Hoover Nano Cyclonic within 48 hours.
Pros: Cord Length, Ease of Use
Cons: Size & Weight, early loss of suction, not for hardwood floors

I bought this vacuum cleaner after using our daughter's..I had a canister type and had already replaced the long hose attachment three times on it.....This vacuum cleaner does all that it is suppose to and then some...Reading reviews most say it is loud but then it is a vacuum cleaner and no louder than my old one...I have been looking to replace my old one for a few months and have tried out a lot of them and decided to go with this one because I thought it did better than some of the more expensive ones...Would definitely recommend this if u are looking for a good vacuum cleaner and u don't want to break the bank in paying for one...Great shipping with Walmart and got it rather quickly..

Review 18 for Hoover WindTunnel Bagged Upright Vacuum, U5491900

Can damage carpet when using attachments!

I bought this vacuum after much research and hoped it would be a good investment. However, I immediately noticed that it is very LOUD. But my bigger issue with the vacuum is that it has damaged my carpet. When you use the attachments, the brush continues to spin. Even set at the second notch from the "hard floor" setting this caused deep grooved marks in my Berber carpet that I cannot repair. I contacted Customer Service about this issue and was told that there was nothing they can do about it. Don't buy this if you plan to ever use the attachments!!

Would NOT recommend this vacuum!

I have had this vacuum for a little over a year, it does not leave the carpet clean or fluffy even on new carpet. I tolerated it because I could not afford to buy a different vacuum and I told my husband that I wanted THIS vacuum because it had the hidden dirt finder light. Well, now the light for the dirt finder quit working. I called Hoover customer service and then brought the vacuum 30 miles away to be repaired. They had the vacuum for ONE MONTH and could not fix it because the part is no longer available. I will NOT buy a Hoover vacuum ever again.

Excellent Vacuum

I truly like this vacuum. It has a powerful suction. Gets close to the walls. Cleans furniture beautifully and quickly. Has a red light that lets you know where the excess dirt is. Light turns green when the dirt is gone. Light will stay green while vacuuming, until it senses more excess dirt somewhere. Just a few extra swipes and the dirt is gone. Awesome feature.
It's well worth the money I spent. I didn't want a self-propelled vacuum, so bought this one. This vacuum is a little heavy, but very easy to maneuver.
I like the color and the looks of the vacuum. Hoover is my favorite brand, so I made the right choice for me.
Can't say enough about this vacuum. I'd recommend it to anyone.
