Received Hoover vacuum today -- easy to put together. Did not come with a hose tube cover (C). I called Hoover and after very lengthy wait was advised that they did not make that part for this model anymore. I explained that dirt, dust, etc. was escaping thru the tube cover while vacuuming upholstery. Their explanation was that I needed to use the vacuumn on high setting because the agitator brush was constantly spinning on this model. If I had known that up front, I would not have purchased it. After following their suggestion, the situation was barely improved. Additionally, it does not work effectively on tile or wood flooring. I have contacted Amazon and am waiting for their response.

I bought this after being disappointed with my Oreck vacuum and based on Consumer Reports recommendation. This vacuum is VERY heavy. I can hardly lift iT. Within the first week the belt broke. When I went to store to buy new belt, the worker said that a lot of people had the same experience.
Other wise I do like the pick-up..but that's about it.

I purchased this vacuum only after reading many reviews and learning that it was good for pet hair. I've had other Hoovers and have been a satisfied customer--until now.
# As with most uprights, to use the tools, the hose must be disconnected from the a rigid plastic tube that comes from the beater bar and through which dirt and dog hair are carried to the bag when it's being used as an upright.
# On this model, the beater bar never stops rotating (unlike other Hoovers I've had), so dirt, pet hair, and anything else that might be on the floor or carpet is continuously sucked through this tube regardless of whether it's in upright vacuum or tool mode or the machine is locked in the upright position.
# This model was originally made with a cap for the top of the tube when the hose has been disconnected, and it's illustrated in the manual. It's now been "redesigned" (in the words of the several Hoover CS people I eventually spoke to). Even though it's also obvious on the product that it once had a cap, the cap is no longer being shipped and isn't available.
# If the hose has been disconnected from the tube to use the tools, the action of the beater bar continues to suck up dirt, etc., through the open tube, propelling and distributing it in a great cloud throughout the room (that's probably just been dusted!).
# I called Hoover Customer Service four times. They told me to set the adjustment for the beater bar on high (further away from the floor or carpet) and that that would stop the machine from sucking up and redistributing dirt through the open tube and into the room. This doesn't solve the problem, and I don't even have deep pile carpet.
# It does have great suction--but in this instance, I'm not sure if this is the good news or the bad!
# The last Hoover CS person to whom I spoke and also I asked to take back the product refused, saying that the vacuum worked as it was intended to. Interestingly, each of the people with whom I spoke knew exactly what I was calling about without my needing to explain it. This suggests to me that I'm not the only one who has had this problem, despite their claim that it's working properly.
# Bottom Line: Hoovers aren't made as well as they used to be, and their Customer Service people won't deal with obvious performance problems. No more Hoovers for me.

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!!!!!
