Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hoover U6616-900 WindTunnel Self Propelled Bagless UprightCustomer Review: RATED BEST FOR A REASON - IT IS Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this vaccum for 3 months now and it sucks down to the concrete foundation! just kidding<br />
<br />
Seriously, I bought several vacuums, eureka, dirt devil vision, hoover savvy and this one. I kept them for a week and saved the receipts intending to keep the best one. This one happened to be the most expensive and the best. Far and above better than the eureka and dirt devil. <br />
<br />
It has much more suction than the other brands as evidenced by the quantity of debris in the dust recepticle. I cannot understand the reviewers who complain about the quantity of dust and debris, it seems to me that would be what the vacuum is intended to do. I have a little long-haired dog and a kitty but you'd never know it as this vacuum sucks up any tell-tale signs of them.<br />
<br />
I'm a neat-freak and appreciate the tools that are easy to use. <br />
<br />
If I had to complain about something it would just be that I think for the price they should include the long-reach extension hose instead of having it as an option. Also some type of attachment to get under low furniture would be a good thing. <br />
<br />
This vacuum is rated best by a leading independent, non-profit testing company for a reason, and the reason is that it simply is the best one made. <br />
<br />
I have researched extensively before I decided on the ones to put to the test myself, didn't include the dyson models because their reviews in england are no so good. Dyson has been used for many years in europe before it's recent introduction into the US. Also, according to the independent product reviewing company the latest dyson model is not much better than the prior one. This is my second hoover and the first one lasted me from 1985 until just recently (Hoover Elite 350). All the while I used the old hoover upstairs I bought and went thru the following which all went south for one reason or another (usually I got tired of replacing the broken belts):<br />
<br />
1. Regina Housekeeper Plus<br />
2. Eureka<br />
3. Eureka "The Boss"<br />
4. Dirt Devil "Vision Bagless"<br />
<br />
I highly recommend this to people with allergies to dust and dust mites and those with pets or anyone who is a clean-freak. The belts seem to stay on the Hoover machines much, much longer than any of the others I've ever had. It's a very tedious procedure to replace a belt on a dirt devil or to remove a clog, the thing would CONSTANTLY clog with pet hair. This hasn't ever happened with any of my Hoovers. <br />
<br />
I hope this helps you make an informed decision.
Description of Hoover U6616-900 WindTunnel Self Propelled Bagless UprightPatented WindTunnel technology picks-up more dirt than any other upright, period. As tested per ASTM Intl. test F608, the only recognized industry standard. Vacuuming becomes a pleasure, not a chore, with this self-propelled bagless upright. A special switch activates the self-propel function, allowing the vacuum to glide with little effort over floors and carpet. The function may be switched off for greater control in tight spaces, such as under tables or chairs. A separate but stored-on-board power hand tool is perfect for cleaning carpeted stairs and upholstery; it simply attaches to the vacuum hose, which stretches to five times its length and gains further reach with the included extension wands (an additional 20-foot hose can be purchased separately). Other tools include a dusting brush for books, lamps, and blinds; a furniture nozzle for upholstered furniture, drapes, clothing, and automobile interiors; and a crevice wand for edges along baseboards, dressers, and between sofa cushions. The height of the cleaner can be adjusted for use on both thick carpet and wood or linoleum floors, and a headlamp illuminates dark areas under furniture and in closets. Dust and dirt are suctioned up thoroughly with this powerful12-amp vacuum. The patented WindTunnel technology with dual air stream and special ducts ensures that particles aren?t sent back out onto the floor but are captured by three filters. The pre-filter screens larger particles, the HEPA cartridge traps tiny particles of allergens such as dust mites, grass pollen, and ragweed, and the final filter assists in returning clean air to the room. The pre-filter and HEPA cartridge can be removed for periodic cleaning, though the HEPA will need to be replaced every three years or so. To empty the dirt cup, simply remove, shake contents into a trash bin, and press back into place. A one-year warranty covers the vacuum against defects.
