Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hoover WindTunnel Anniversary Upright Vacuum, Bagged, U5491900
Customer Review: Great vacuum at a good price
Summary: 4 Stars
A couple years ago, I got rid of my bagged vacuum in favor of a bagless model because I thought it would save me the cost and trouble of having to buy and replace bags. I was wrong. I have hated that bagless since I bought it. The bagless is very messy to clean. When you empty the dirt container, dirt and dust goes everywhere. The upper compartment and the multiple filters also need to be cleaned often. I have a cat and the cat hair was difficult to clean out due to static electricity. So, I gave away my perfectly usable Bissell bagless and I am back to a bagged cleaner, and I couldn't be happier.
The Hoover U5491900 Windtunnel Anniversary Bagged Upright is a very good vacuum, and it didn't cost an arm and a leg. It's not particularly heavier nor noisier than any other quality upright. It has great suction, edge cleaners, and the tools are easily accessible. There's a small amount of assembly which takes only about 5 minutes. The hose is a bit short, but it does come with two extension wands. You can also purchase a longer hose separately. My only complaint is the way the electrical cord gets in the way of the hose when you clip it to the recommended hook on the back.
I did have a bit of trouble with delivery, though not the fault of Amazon. The first vacuum arrived with a broken part, and Amazon quickly sent a replacement at no charge. The second arrived in a box that was in terrible condition. I expected the worst, but the vacuum was in good condition so I kept it, despite the fact that it appeared to have been repackaged. Some parts were not securely packed and the electrical cord was not neatly wound and tied.
Despite the problems I had, I highly recommend this vacuum.
ONE YEAR LATER...
The above was written just after purchasing. Here's my take on this product a year later.
PROS: Still has great suction.
CONS: The short hose was really annoying. The cleaner kept tipping over. You will want to buy the extended hose, but the cleaner will still tip over, and if it falls on you, it hurts. Hoover should make this model a bit sturdier.
The dirtfinder light only works well for a month or so. After that, just ignore it because no matter how many times you vacuum over the same spot, the red light will continue to stay on or flicker.
The way the electrical cord comes out of the cleaner is poorly designed. It comes out of the bottom of the cleaner. So that you don't keep stepping on it, the cleaner has pinch holders on the back to thread the cord upward, but they don't hold well. I ended up gluing the cord to each pinch holder.
Don't even try to vacuum curtains. The cleaner should have been designed with a suction reduction valve to minimize suction for items like curtains.
