Amazon.com Review
Equipped with an embedded-dirt finder and Hoover's most advanced suction technology, this 1440-watt upright vacuum cleans a broad, 15-inch path illuminated by a headlight and provides handy storage for three onboard tools. The tools--dusting brush, crevice tool, upholstery nozzle--fit neatly into a storage compartment on the front. They attach to either or both 16-inch wands and a stretch hose (no tangles!) for a long cleaning reach. The embedded-dirt finder shows a green light when vacuuming ordinary dirt accumulation. A red light shows when extra dirt is encountered and additional cleaning strokes are needed. The machine contains two washable filters, one protecting the motor and the other cleaning the air returning to a room. Other features include carpet-height adjustment, edge-groomers to clean along baseboards, and a soft bumper to protect furniture. The vacuum uses a disposable allergen-filtration bag (Hoover Type Y, included), assembles with two nuts and bolts (included), and carries a 1-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Great vaccum--It really sucks,
By
This review is from: Hoover U5453-900 WindTunnel Supreme Upright Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen)
This is a great vaccum in terms of sucking power. It picks up dirt well and really perks up our tired old carpet.When I first got the vaccum, I treated the "dirt finder lights" feature as sheer gimmick. But I've come to like it. The hose on this unit is extremely flexible and extends to several feet. With the extension attachments, I can leave the vaccum on the bottom of the stairs and reach up to 5 or 6 steps up.A couple of minor things I don't like about this unit: You connect an attachment to the hose by pushing it on--no actual mechanism that snaps or clicks in place to keep the attachment on the hose. So very frequently I have to re-attach the attachment as it falls off during the vaccuming. Also, to use the hose, one plugs it out of the "seat" (vaccumed dust gets sucked up through the "seat" tube into the hose and then into the bag). But one has to push the "seat cover" tight so that dust does not get blown out of the "seat" itself during vaccuming. For all the allergy prevention measures Hoover put into this vaccum, somehow Hoover didn't bother to find a better way to ensure that vaccumed dust gets into the bag. These may be standard features with all Hoover uprights, and other people may not find them as inconvenient. All in all, though, this vaccum does suck, really well.

I love this vacuum!!!,
By AlysiaRocks (TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hoover U5453-900 WindTunnel Supreme Upright Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen)
I bought this vacuum because the other brand vacuum I had after just 1 year wouldn't suck anymore. It has tremendous sucking power and will suck up anything and it won't get clogged. It has the dirt warning light which is wonderful; half the time I think that the floor is clean but the vacuum always finds more dirt that I can't see. I have recommended it to everyone and everyone that has bought one just loves it. It is a bit loud but all vacuums that work are. I would never buy any vacuum that isn't made by Hoover. If you try this vacuum you will love it.

Annoying Problems!! Do your research!!,
By
This review is from: Hoover U5453-900 WindTunnel Supreme Upright Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen)
I bought this model to replace my old Hoover of 10 years thinking - hey they must have PERFECTED vacuums by now!! WRONG!! First let me say they are bragging about the long attachment hose...then why does my vacuum tip over whenever I use it even when Im not stretching that far away???...also to use the attachment hose you have to pull the hose out of a hole and close the flap to that hole or dirt comes out of it when you vacuum...I cant tell you how many times I forgot to close that flap...I dont know who designed that - but they should be fired. Also the attachments (the two rod extenders) tend to come apart on their own with just gentle pulling. I also find that the dusting brush has such short bristles its really annoying, you know its not that good on mini-blinds and other cracks and crevices. I chose a bag vacuum because my experience with bagless was that its very nasty to clean out those containers sometime - I like as little contact with the dirt as possible. When changing the bag on this vacuum its a little difficult and a little dirt spills out - but that was also my experience on my old bag vacuum - I was just hoping they could have improved that somehow in the last 10 years...overall my old vacuum was better and Im kicking myself for getting rid of it. This model picks up the dirt and hair sure enough but the problems are annoying. If I was shopping all over again I would looke for a model without these same flaws. That said the dirt finding feature is okay but Im not sure how accurate it is and whether its worth it or not. The full bag indicator is not always acurate. And even with the problems of changing a bag I still think that its better than having to clean out a bag free collection cup. I wish you better luck shopping for your vacuum than I had with mine.
