Vacuum Cleaner Review The
Hoover Self Propelled WindTunnel Bagless Upright U6634900 is a vacuum
cleaner with bagless technology and a HEPA filter that filters out
practically 100% of allergens. With a powered pet hair tool that is able to
be used on upholstered furniture and stairs and an embedded DirtFINDER that
turns green when the carpet is clean, this is a Hoover vacuum cleaner that
is billed as a serious cleaning machine.
The Hoover Self Propelled WindTunnel has
a 15" cleaning path with a dual brush agitator and brush roll shut-off
feature. This is a self-propelled machine that makes vacuuming large
carpeted areas much easier, with less wear and tear on the operator. There
is a generously sized twin chamber bagless system and a long-life HEPA
filter cartridge. The bagless system and long-life HEPA filter are really
cost effective features, ensuring the owner that costly bags are a thing of
the past and the filter only needs periodic replacement. There is an
on-board tool kit that has a crevice tool, dusting brush and 3 extension
wands that fit together. The included pet hair tool is powered and has its
own rotating brush. The cord length of this Hoover vacuum is 31' which is
standard on most of the vacuum cleaners that Hoover makes.
This Hoover vacuum cleaner is a terrific
model. The suction of this machine is incredible and makes removing pet hair
a breeze. As it is self-propelled, pushing this vacuum is really easy which
is a good thing considering that it is a heavier machine. Priced at around
$200 dollars and including Hoover's 1-year warranty, this particular model
of Hoover vacuum cleaner is a pretty good deal. The multiple height
adjustments make this machine effective on hard floors as well as on
carpeted surfaces and the pet hair tool is really useful because it is
motorized, making it like a miniature upright for use on furniture or
stairs. The extension wands fit together quickly to allow the operator the
ability to reach into corners or under furniture.
There are some problems with this
machine, the main one being with the dual brush agitator. While this is
usually an asset, it can be an issue when it comes to changing the belts
because there are two belts. There are certainly quieter machines on the
market, but the suction is good enough that the sound may not bother some
owners. There are some other problems, including frustration with the cord,
the length of the hose and the dirt cup. The cord on this machine is pretty
stiff at first and may frustrate some until it is broken in a little. The
suction hose is on the too-short side, although the extension wands help
expand the total reach. Another issue is that the dirt cup can be a pain to
empty and can be messy. This Hoover vacuum cleaner also needs to be
assembled out of the packaging.
For the money, the Hoover Self Propelled
WindTunnel Bagless Upright U6634900 is a good value. Because it is bagless
and has filters that don't need to be constantly changed, the owner will
find that this vacuum can save a lot of money in the long run, although
belts will still need replacing when they become loose or damaged. For
people looking for a vacuum cleaner that offers terrific allergen removal,
this Hoover vacuum is a good choice.
