Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hoover Windtunnel Anniversary Upright Vacuum, Bagless, U5786900
Customer Review: Recommended vacuum!
Summary: 5 Stars
We had a 9yr old Dirt Devil that I hated. It required repair less than a year after we bought it and I had a grudge against it ever since. Thursday it fell apart on me - it would no longer stand upright, then the hose started to break free, and, while I was using it the hose completely came apart so I threw it to the curb, dug out the relevant issue of Consumer Reports and hit Amazon.
I settled on the U5786900 due to it's price point, quality of the reviews here, and CRs Recommended Buy (it's not a Best Buy, my wife deemed those too pricey). The local S-Mart had a similar model (UH40125). I don't know what the difference is other than the lesser warranty and the lack of a Pet Hair designation, but it looked the same and the specs were the same, and it was $10 cheaper (so FYI). I found the U5786900 at another retailer for the same price as Amazon was selling so I bought it as it was the one I was looking for.
I put it together and vacuumed the family room. The first thing I noticed was how easy it was to push - the suction literally pulls the vacuum forward. A little more than expected effort is needed to pull it back, but it made vacuuming easy. I had just vacuumed the day before and was a bit embarrassed by the amount of dirt the Dirt Devil picked up (I don't vacuum as often as I should and my wife never does), but the amount of dirt the Hoover picked up was a shock! I thought I was imagining things but it looked to me like the carpet was noticeably cleaner. When my wife came home she stopped dead and noticed the difference immediately and said it looked like I had just shampooed.
The vacuum, while still noisy (it's a vacuum cleaner after all) is quieter than the Dirt Devil (I hated having to bend down next to that thing when it was on - it was deafening) and the dog didn't run hide when I turned it on. The wheels are rubber coated so it glides easily across our hardwood floors. The Dirt Devil had plastic rollers and was so loud I picked it up when crossing the hard wood.
Of course, time will tell if the vacuum will retain this quality over time, but out of the box it's amazing.
There are a few negative reviews here and I wanted to address a few points some have mentioned (and some of the reviews just seemed to be trying to get people to buy a different brand):
- Cheap power switch. The switch is on the handle but it's not the actual switch. The real switch is on the base under the handle and the handle switch merely toggles it on and off. I can understand if this part breaks but a replacement handle is only about $2 from Hoover, and I find it hard to believe this part breaking would be a common problem.
- Someone commented that it wasn't a true bagless, but then complained about the filters, saying the 'bag' is in the base. I have no idea what this person is talking about. There is no bag.
- Another person complained about the filters, that they're expensive ($20) and that this vacuum has three of them so it'll cost a fortune over time. Actually, two of the filters are washable, but can be replaced if desired. The replaceable filter is deemed "long life." Not sure how long that is but it, too, can be cleaned if necessary with a little compressed air.
My only real complaint at this time is that I wish the dirt cup sealed better against the vacuum. When you remove it there's a small littering of dust under it. You have to blow this out then vacuum that area again. I would think a simple rubber ring around the opening is all that would be needed.
