Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Bagless dirt collection meets on-the-go versatility in this powerful Hoover WindTunnel upright vacuum. Designed for a wide range of floor types, the 12 amp machine adjusts for bare floors or five heights of carpet with a sliding knob on the 15-inch nozzle. Hoover builds in a special duct system to keep particles from returning to the floor and a bristled brush roll to agitate dirt out of carpet fibers. Instead of collecting debris in a bag, the vacuum uses a transparent twin-chamber dust cup with a HEPA filter. Large particles are kept on one side of the cup by a permanent prefilter, while small debris ends up in the side with the HEPA filter, which traps 100 percent of dust mites and 99.98 percent of ragweed pollen. A sturdy handle and secure lid make removing and emptying the dirt cup simple and quick. The long-life HEPA filter can be tapped clean and lasts about three years. This unit also features a washable exhaust filter and a filter to protect the motor.
For attachment cleaning, the vacuum comes with a built-in stretch hose and tools that can be stored in side clips and a front hatch. In addition to two extension wands, Hoover includes an upholstery attachment, a short crevice tool, and a dusting brush. The vacuum's sliding power switch is in the handle, and a foot pedal controls the three-position handle release. Helpful details include quick-release cord hooks, edge groomers, a headlight, a furniture guard, a carrying handle, and a 31-foot power cord. Hoover provides a one-year warranty on this product. --Emily Bedard

Thrilled, but Appalled!,
By
This review is from: Hoover U5720-900 WindTunnel Bagless (Kitchen)
The vacuum is the thrilling part. The stuff that appears in the cannister is appalling!My previous vacuum was old and even when it was new, I was never really impressed with it. It was time to replace it. RESEARCH - I did plenty of research - Consumer Reports, other online rating sources and of course, reviews written by customers here on Amazon. This model was the best of the bagless, which is what I wanted. There were 2 Windtunnels rated slightly better which used bags. Anyway, this is the one that looked best for me. SUCTION - When I brought it home, it hadn't been long since I'd last vacuumed. I looked at the carpet and thought it didn't look bad, but I still wanted to try it out. I vacummed one room and then took a look at the cannister. Oh, my gosh! This vacuum really sucked (in a good way). Where did all that stuff come from? It must have pulled dirt from the floor below. Surely all that dirt and dust and hair and fluff wasn't in that one room! I refused to vacuum any more until my husband came home. He had to see this. We have several cats and one inside dog, but I still wasn't expecting to see so much dirt! DUST IN THE AIR - I wanted a bag with a Hepa filter since I'm allergic to dust. After vacuuming a room with the U5720-900, the air is great. I can breathe just fine - no sniffles at all, unlike with my previous vacuum. However, emptying the cannister indoors (on any bagless vacuum) might not be a good idea. I take the cannister to a garbage can in our garage to empty it. so dust is not re-introduced to the indoor air. Then, since our house is apparently so filthy, I also take the Hepa out of the cannister (which is fast & simple)and shake out the extra dust. The instructions say you really don't need to do this each time, but, with all the dust in there, I think it's a good idea. ATTACHMENTS - Consumer Reports only gave the attachments on this vacuum a GOOD, but I find them wonderful and simple. I love how they are arranged (easily accessible) and I love that the hose stays ready to use for quick pick ups. The only thing to do is choose which head you need or sometimes add an extension. The suction is good. EFFORT - It's easy to push - it practically pulls itself along. Bottom Line - I love it!

a bad experience,

This review is from: Hoover U5720-900 WindTunnel Bagless (Kitchen)
I purchased this model from [Amazon.com] a few months ago. Less expensive than Hoover's own factory store near where I live.This cleaner has some very good reviews. HOWEVER, after two uses (in my home) mine went to the local Hoover store for repair. (the brushes were loosing a lot of their bristles) They replaced the brushes under warranty and I was told by the stores repair man (Oh yeah, they had to redesign the brushes, the original design did that). The repair took about three weeks (they had to order the replacement brushes and the warehouse was out of stock) Three calls to Hoover national customer assistance without the courtesy of even a reply. Several e-mails to Hoover headquarters customer support e-mail address with no reply. I got the cleaner back and was given a free replacement filter cartridge for my trouble. Two more uses and the gear box for the brushes burned out with a lot of evil smelling smoke from the melted plastic case. Back to the Hoover store. Another warranty repair. Now I have it back and will see what happens next. NEVER AGAIN WOULD I BUY A HOOVER. They seem not to care at all about customers or customer service. If this was a typical sample of their product quality they need some heavy duty help.

Good vacuum, pain to clean out the canister,
By Shauna (Highlands Ranch, CO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hoover U5720-900 WindTunnel Bagless (Kitchen)
This is a really great vacuum and really sucks all the dirt out of the carpet. Seems to get all the dog hair up off our carpet. The only problem is emptying the cannister. Of course, this might not be different than any other bagless vacuum. The filter gets caked w/ dirt and grime and we have to shake and pound to get it all off. So, the dust goes everywhere and I am sneezing for an hour. We have to empty it every time because of our dogs, otherwise we would get one w/ a bag. It does work very well at getting the dirt up though.
