My old vacuum was broken, hence I started to shop for a new one. I went to Walmart and after looking at all of the vacuums they had there, I decided to buy the hoover self propelled windtunnel (it was the third most expensive one among them). I was amazed how much dust and dirt it picked up (way much more than my old vacuum). I have a kid and he is crawling around on the carpet all the time, therefore it is very import for me to have a good working vacuum. I am very satisfied with this vacuum. Things you should do:
1) Empty the container after each vacuum (it is better you take it outside and dump the dirt into a plastic bag or trash can to avoid the dust flying around your house)
2) Remove the hairs on the brush(es) that jammed on it after each use.
The reason why I only give it a 4 stars instead of 5:
1) I just bought it and I need to use it for a while to make sure everything is working properly, before it give it the full five stars.
2) The dirt sensor is useless, the green light is on even if the carpet is very dirty. I basically ignore it.

I had a Hoover Wind Tunnel self-propelled vacuum that used bags. I was tired of changing the bag after only a couple uses. I decided I would try the bag-less variety.
What a mistake! Turns out that the new carpet in my new home just gave up way too much material for the first two years.
Cleaning this thing is a royal pain. Don't even think about doing it in the house unless you want a gigantic dust cloud floating around. Even when I took it out to the garage (not so much fun in the Northern Illinois winters) I wound up getting dust all over the tools I kept out there.
The "mechanism" that they provide for spinning out the dust from one of the filters is practically useless. The only way to get most of the the dirt out of this thing is to bang the heck out of it against the garbage can. Hence, the dust cloud and usually a sneezing fit.
I'm back to the bag unit and gladly change the bag on a regular basis. I just don't get the micro filter bags.

I was amazed!!! Before I bought the Hoover Bagless Windtunnel, I use to use a Filter Queen that I purchased 10 years ago. I vacuumed the carpet with the Filter Queen right before I got the Hoover. Then I vacuumed the same carpet with the Hoover within an hour after using the Filter Queen. The Hoover Windtunnel picked up A TON more dirt after using the Filter Queen. I was shocked!! The green light (that detects dirt being sucked through) on the Hoover practically stayed on. I bought the Hoover based on reviews from a leading consumer ratings website. They were right on the mark!!

If there were an organization for the ethical treatment of vacuum cleaners, my household would be on their hit list. This vacuum thoroughly cleans up after desert dust, lots of pets, and a very active household. The most unexpected bonus is that it compacts the collected dust & debris so I don't have to empty the bin nearly as often as I did with Hoover's leading competitor.

My 4 Simple Rules for this Vacuum:
1. High Pile carpeting use only.
2. Use in only very clean Pet-Free Home
3. Owner must empty the Vaccuum dirt bin every time it is used
4. Owner must be handy with tools and machines.
The Hoover U6630-900 Self-Propelled WindTunnel Bagless Vacuum is excellent for the a homemaker who can meticulously maintain it. What I mean by that is not very complicated but it does require some work. You must empty the dirt canister after you finish vacuuming and check the filters for excessive hair every time you vacuum. I usually find a good bit of hair after vacuuming just one room and I get my hand in to remove it from the filter and the pre-filter every time. I vacuum at least twice per week and every time loads of dirt get picked up.We never wear our street shoes in the home and do not reside in a large city yet in only 3 days time there is still plenty of dirt and dust on our carpets for this vacuum to find. I do Not have pets and I think pet owners would be better off looking for a different vacuum than this. This vacuum really picks up an incredible amount of dirt, dust and hair from carpets even in a pet-free and often cleaned home. I suspect that the hair in homes with pets would clog the filters before you could finish one multi-room vacuum session and that might be a drag and too difficult for pet owners to tolerate. This vacuum picks up loads of hair even in clean pet free homes and I have noticed that the suction will suffer as the hair starts to accumulate on the filters. Those filters,there are 3 by the way, will trap loads of hair and tiny debris even in very clean homes. In a home with pet hair you will probably have to clean the filters after vacuuming just one medium to large sized room if you want to keep good suction for the next room.. You also have to check the brush frequently and remove strings and carpet frags that will roll around the brush. If you dont do this often the vacuum brush action will suffer and the self propel feature may stop. I bought this vacuum at same time as my neighbor also bought hers and she has 3 hairy indoor dogs. Mine works perfectly,has never needed repair, with constant emptying on my part of the dirt canister after vacuuming. My neighbor's vacuum, the same exact model,has had to be repaired 3 times already and every time she was told by the serviceperson that the pet hair was her main problem. She admits to me also that she is not good about emptying the dirt canister. So I think you have to decide if you want to do the work every time you vacuum to maintain this bagless vacuum and just how dirty your floors get when you vacuum.
The reviews on this site that claim this vacuum is almost garbage from the get go are ridiculous and not accurate. Actually this vacuum has a great deal of power and suction --so much so that if you only plan to use it on oriental carpets or very low pile carpets I would tell you to not buy it. That is because the suction is so strong that it will wear on the pile and low pile carpets could begin to get a rigid and hard feel from being vacuumed with it repeatedly. This vacuum is best for thick high pile carpeting and not very good for low pile or hard floors. I would not tell you to buy it if you plan to use it on hard floors or low pile carpeting but if you have mostly high pile it works great.
As time has gone by I did begin to have trouble with the one drive belt on the vacuum after owning and using it for about 6 months. It would come off requiring me to get down on thr floor with a screwdriver and replace the belt myself. I found that I had to replace the belt as it had become too large and was thus too loose to work correctly.I used the second belt that Hoover had sent me with the vacuum and it worked great and solved the issue. I did the work myself with just a screwdriver and it took me about 15 minutes. Again, this might be too much for some people who are not handy with tools and machines and if that is you, avoid this vacuum.A service repair shop might charge $40 or more to do this work and that can add up. This Hoover vacuum really requires meticulous care although if you can do that it works well.
I am amazed at how much dirt it removes from my home's high pile carpeting. I am a clean person who owns no pets and all shoes are removed before entering my home.
I never use this hoover Windtunnel on my Karistan Oriental 20 by 10 foot carpet as the pile is low and this vacuum would be too rough on that.
This can be an excellent vacuum if you can and are able to maintain it in a well cleaned pet-free home and have high pile carpeting. I think there are better choices if you own pets or if you want to use it for low pile carpeting or hard flooring.
