This review is from: Hoover U8341-900 WindTunnel 2 Bagless Upright (Kitchen)

I purchased this Hepa bagless vacuum b/c my daughter is starting to develop indoor environmental allergies and I wanted to make my home as allergy-free as possible for her. I actually used my old vacuum, an Oreck (1995 model), to vacuum the living room, and then followed up with this one, and it sucked up a ton of stuff - fuzz, dust, who knows what else, that the Oreck missed. So I'm sold on the cleaning ability.

But this is the second Windtunnel I've had where one of the plastic pieces broke. In the first one, the lever that you depress with your foot to make the vacuum operate snapped off after about a year. My husband was using it, and yes he may have a lead foot, but STILL. You'd think Hoover could invest a couple more dollars to make the foot pedal a bit sturdier.

On this vacuum, a useless plastic piece on the top of the handle snapped off when I was maneuvering the vacuum. The useless plastic piece, like a cap on the handle, was maybe 2 inches wide, but was supported by two flimsy plastic pegs that the force of my hand apparently broke off. This is just plain annoying in a $240 vacuum.

So, as much as I love the cleaning ability and feel oh so gratified every time I empty the canister about all the junk I am sparing my daughter from sitting in, breathing, etc..., I will probably purchase a Dyson for my next cleaner. I've heard those are indestructible.
