Our old Bissell finally died and while researching a new vacuum, had a chance to use our daughter's Eureka Boss 4 D for 2 weeks. We were totally pleased with the Eureka but were afraid of the durability issues mentioned by a lot of the reviewers. After researching and reading reviews finally decided to purchase a Hoover Windtunnel Bagless Anniversary Edition a month ago. So here are the good and the bad...
The Good:
* Great suction- a disgusting amount of "stuff" is being picked up.
* Effective - the carpet looks clean and almost new again after vacuuming and the pile stands up and is "fluffy" again.
*It has a red / green light that tells you when that section of carpet is clean and when you need to keep working it.
* Although it's mostly plastic and the on/off slider button appears destined
to break over time, the cleaner overall looks and feels solidly built.
* The dirt basket is easy to remove and dump and designed so you don't get dirty dumping the dirt. It also has a crank that vibrates the smaller dust out of the filter.
The bad:
* Some small difficulty in adjusting the beater bar height. I can't just flick it with my toe to adjust.
* The pet hair rotating brush does not work well and if you put too pressure on it actually stopped working. The manual says don't apply so much pressure or it will stop! Poor design. We got disgusted and paid $20 for the Eureka Boss 4 D pet hair brush which fits the Hoover exactly...and works perfectly. You can scrub as hard as you want and it won't stop spinning. We purchased the brush online from Eureka.
* Heavy.
* Hoses aren't long enough to be very useful.
The Eureka also had a electro-statically charged "wand" that was useful for blinds, walls, ledges. You stick it back in it's holder and the dust is vacuumed off......the Hoover did not have this useful attachment.
All in all, the Hoovers we have had in the past have given us many years of faithful service and we are hoping for a repeat performance with the Hoover Windtunnel Bagless .
Purchased the Hoover from Amazon and got everything as promised when promised with free shipping.

DO NOT BUY THIS VACUUM, It does not come with a tube hose cover so when you use the attachments the debris goes everywhere. I called Hoover about this and they said this is how it was manufactured, nice huh, they can't even give you the missing part. I am sending this back a buying a Dyson. I will never buy a Hoover again!!!!!

This vacuum cleaner is better than any Hoover product I have ever owned. It was super simple to assemble. The only problem I had with it: the belt broke within five minutes of first use. Figuring this was just a matter of a defective belt, I just went out and bought replacements. I didn't contact the company for a new one, which I am sure I would have gotten one if I had. I didn't want to wait; and they are not expensive at all, so I just bought a 2 pack of belts at my local Wal-Mart.
Replacing the belt was easy. Just remove four screws, take off the bottom plate, lift out the roller, and slip the new belt on. It does take a little strength to stretch the belt into place; but it is not extrememly hard. The vacuum has been working flawlessly since I put the belt on.
I like the dirt sensor on this model. Before, I had no idea if my carpet still had dirt in it after I vacuumed. With the dirt sensor, all I need to do is watch the green and red lights. When the green light stays on, the carpet is free of loose dirt particles.
I'm not sure I like the HEPA filters yet. I have never had to deal witht these before. I did tend to forget to clean the bottom filter in my old vacuum, which probably caused it to lose suction over the years. Since I need to wash the HEPA filter every time I change the bag, I will probably wash the bottom filter, also. Perhaps this will prolong the life of the vacuum.
I really like the full bag indicator on the vacuum. I have only used the vacuum four or five times since I got it. The bag is already showing full. I would have had no idea the bag could have filled up that fast without the indicator. Of course, with the HEPA bags, there is a tendancy for the pores in the bag to get clogged, so, although it does not feel full when it is checked, it still needs changing to prevent rupture of the bag.
This model has soft rubber wheels to prevent tire marks on your carpet. Almost leaves your carpet looking as if you never vacuum! :)
The push in, pull out hose is much easier to use than the one on my old model. On my old model, the hose had almost no suction until you bent over and slid the carpet height adjustment all the way to the right. Then the suction changed from floor to hose. With the WindTunnel, all you do is take the hose out and put the tools on you want to use. When you finish, just take the tools off, and put the hose back in. No bending necessary!
All the tools store on the vacuum cleaner either in the small tool compartment on top of the bag compartment, or on the back of the vacuum where you

i never write reviews but had to comment on this hoover. for the money it is an absoutely amazing machine. the suction is incredible and it pulls itself along almost if it were a self-propeled machine, which it isnt. the air smells clean as and after you vaccum meaning no dust is coming out of it unlike other machine. i read reviews that were critical of this machine because it wasnt good on bare floors - well duh - it isnt designed for bare floor cleaning! its meant for carpet and it does a phenomenal job! would highly recommend it if you are only cleaning carpet.

The Hoover Anniversary Bagged Vacuum is a flimsy piece of junk. It is made of 85% plastic and all parts are as delicate as it is possible to make them. The moral of this story is if you buy cheap (Chinese) junk, you got cheap junk. After about ten uses in a small floor area, the left wheel broke completely off. This after the tool holders failed, the hose holder going into the intake broke, and the the handle release stopped working because it also broke. I suspect the Hoover waranty does not cover any of this. If they actually fix this breakage I will change this review.
For comparison purposes, we have two of the old Hoover Concept One vacuums made in the USA. These are built like a tank and are still running.
The only good thing about the newer vacuums is the air powered brush. Great for cat hair on upholstry.
