1.0 out of 5 stars Beware of new brush vs. what is pictured, December 27, 2009

This review is from: Hoover WindTunnel Brush Roller (Kitchen)

I have used two Windtunnels for several years and replaced the brushes in each with great improvement. Now this wooden brush comes along and many retailers/sellers are still showing a picture of the original Windtunnel brush. Two reviewers noted that the brush is not what is pictured. Although this is a genuine Hoover replacement it is NOT what is pictured. More importantly, my experience has been that it does not clean as well as the original brush (which is still avaiable - in fact Hoover still sells Windtunnels with the twisted brush)

The orginal brush had raised brushes for a gentle "beating" action. In my opinion it worked much better. Some retailers on Amazon are honest enough to show what they are selling. Just be aware that what is pictured is not necessarily what you will get and, in my opinion, will not work as well as the original brush.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Service, February 9, 2008

I love my Hoover Windtunnel Vacuum, but unfortunately, it eats belts on a regular basis. Being unable to find the parts locally, I searched Ebay and found United Vacuum. Their site was easy to navigate and find the parts that I needed. The parts were very cheap compared to other sites that I visited. I received the parts quickly and the belts fit great. I was up and running in about 5 minutes. Unfortunately, the replacement brush roll that I ordered had been damaged in shipping (thanks UPS). I was pretty busy that week, so I waited till the weekend to email their customer service. I figured that someone would reply in a few days. Boy was I wrong, a customer service representative called me in about 20 Minutes! This was on a Saturday! He let me know they were sending me a replacement brush roll immediately. Wow! If you need vacuum cleaner parts, buy them here. Don't waste your time and money anywhere else.

3.0 out of 5 stars Works, but doesn't appear to be OEM, December 12, 2009

This review is from: Hoover WindTunnel Brush Roller (Kitchen)

This roller brush appears to be an after-market replacement. It's made of wood and is a completely round cylinder. The original Hoover roller brush in my vacuum is made of plastic and is shaped like a twisted ribbon. I assume the original design was intended to improve air-flow/suction. The new round wooden replacement appears to work OK though and it was less expensive, so I'm keeping it.
