I'm glad I kept my old windtunnel...,

This review is from: Hoover U8351-900 Windtunnel 2 Extra Reach Bagless Upright Vacuum (Kitchen)
The HEPA filter quits cleaning itself and you have to have a second vacuum to clean it....It is really a messy proposition to empty the bagless container....This is a truly poorly designed machine that Hoover has not given me any satisfaction on. I spend more time cleaning the wintunnel 2, after I vacuum, than I do in the actual vacuuming.

Well-designed - I chose this over a Dyson,

This review is from: Hoover U8351-900 Windtunnel 2 Extra Reach Bagless Upright Vacuum (Kitchen)
I'm going to give this one 5 stars, but with the caveat that it is a new product and there are still unknowns about it. That said, so far I've been impressed.
It is clear that Hoover is setting their sights on Dyson with this line of vacuums. Their previous Windtunnel models reviewed quite well against Dyson, and I expect the Windtunnel 2s will do even better. At around $300 street price and up, these are not inexpensive vacuums, but they are still less than a Dyson.
Build quality is good - reasonably solid plastics seem to have been used. So far, I also find that suction is excellent, no complaints in that department. Edge cleaning is good, and operation is smooth. The power cord is connected near the top, which I'm glad they did. The pet hair tool attachment is nice - it seems to be built well and works pretty much like similar tools found on other models/brands. The hose is of good quality materials and construction, definitely matching what one would expect...Read more

December 8, 2006 E. Brown (Minnesota) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hoover U8351-900 Windtunnel 2 Extra Reach Bagless Upright Vacuum (Kitchen)
We have had this item for less than 6 months....
**DISLIKE:
-filter gets clogged after 5 minutes of vacuuming
-when removing the cup, dirt spills everywhere from behind the cup
-hepa filter stopped working
-area behind hepa filter clogs way too easily
-sending it in to get fixed is annoying and it took 2 weeks (yikes!)
-very heavy to push, no matter what setting you have it on
**LIKE:
-the extra long cord comes in handy
-being able to vacuum the steps while leaving it on the landing is handy
**OVERALL:
-would not recommend to anyone....
