Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hoover U6436-900 TurboPower Self-Propelled WindTunnel Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner
Customer Review: Actually makes vacuuming kinda fun
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had this vacuum for about 8 months now and I have to say it's pretty good. We have a dog and 2 cats, so I needed something to handle the hair, and this vacuum really does. (Though I probably should have gotten the bagless version, since we go through bags VERY quickly!) It has a nice long power cord, and a long hose to use with the wand or brushes. I like the power brush for vacuuming my sofa--it really gets the pet hair! I use all the attachments all the time, switching back and forth between the upright and the hose/wand, and it's not much of a hassle. Works great on carpet; see below for my hard floor suggestion. It is a good value for the money, and if you have a Hoover store or service center nearby there's no packing up and shipping if it needs a repair (like with a Dyson).
My main complaint about this vacuum is that the hose is attached to the vacuum too high on the body, so that when you're using the hose, the vacuum constantly tips over. This could be remedied with the hose coming out of the base instead. (Hoover, are you listening??) It is also a little on the heavy side, but I think that sort of comes with the territory....
A few tips:
-I bought a hard floor brush to use with the wand--I like this better than running the upright over my wood floors. It also works better on lightweight rugs.
-If the suction is too strong on your area rugs (you will know because you'll be sweating and the vacuum will start to smoke and/or stink!), take the vacuum back to Hoover. My guy there changed out the beater bar to one with softer brushes and it made a huge difference! I'm not struggling with the vacuum anymore.
-Make sure to tip the handle forward before flipping the switch between carpet & hard floor, and also before turning on and off the self-propel. This will prevent some damage.
-When you pick up the vacuum, do so with the handle provided for that purpose, don't pick it up by the main handle. This will also prevent damage.
Hoping this vacuum stands the test of time better than the ones I've had before it. We'll see!
