Bought it for my Fl. beach rental home. The fine sand clings to everything! My carpets were prefessionally cleaned the day before its arrival. I had to use it even though I knew it was clean. The little red sensor light popped on indicating it was pulling soil up. I checked the bag &indeed it sucked up sand! I like the dirt sensor, headlight & self propelled feature. The hose is shorter than I would like. It is a plus that it is heavy. It doesn"t tip over easily as my other one did. It is loud but if it is doing a good job that is ok.
Yes, I recommend this product.

It seems to work good. It took some time going over the floor before the green light would come on. That is probably due to the fact that my old vacuum was over 20 years old and was probably not doing a good job.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I love this product!!! It truly does multi floors like hardwood, tile, and carpet. I used a dyson before this and it said it would do multi floors but it does not. I highly recommend this product. I love the self propelled feature and the clean light indicator that tells you that the carpet is clean. The only thing I can complain about is that it is heavy if you have stairs would not recommend it for you but other than that its great!!!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Love, Love, Love this Vacuum!! Shopped all over and Home Depot had the best price! I want to buy another one just to have it for down the road. Seems to be that all manufactures like to make, and market bagless vacuums. Bagless vacuums get more dirt in the air than bagged vacuums. Funny thing bagged vacuums are hard to find in stores yet they are sooooo much better!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Took a little getting use to the self-propelled feature, but it is very nice to have considering the vacuum cleaner is a bit heavier than average. Overall very pleased with its performance. It took up quite a bit of dust and debris from the carpet that the previous vacuum cleaner was just not getting.
Yes, I recommend this product.

An employee at my local Home Depot spoke with me at length, explaining the features of various vacuums. His recommendations were backed up by a consumer report that I read. I ordered the Hoover Windtunnel and have been very pleased with its performance and ease of use. The hose, with its extensions and attachments make it easy to reach all areas of my home, both high and low. The Home Depot price was the best, especially with free delivery directly to my home. Both product and store service were excellent.

I got my first Hoover Windtunnel bagged upright 11 years ago and it served me well so when I needed a new vacuum I chose the one that I knew I liked and would not disappoint me. I prefer the bagged vacuum because I'd rather have all that dust and dirt neatly contained and it's cheaper than replacing filters or the hassle of washing them for the bagless kind of vacuum. My old vacuum still works and I keep it in the basement to vacuum down there, easier than dragging it up and down the stairs everytime. Compared to other vacuums, especially these new bagless ones, the price for this one is very reasonable and I trust the Hoover brand for durability and quality. It is heavy but it has the self-propelled feature and so that isn't an issue. A longer hose for the attachments would be my only suggestion to Hoover if they wished to improve the model.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I did my homework before purchasing a new vacuum and this model was rated number 1 by Consumer Reports and Home Depot's price was cheaper than the price Consumer Report's had listed. Very pleased with my purchase! We have 2 dogs and a cat so it has to work!

When my husband asked me if I wanted to give my Wind Tunnel to my daughter and buy myself another one, there was no question that I wanted another Wind Tunnel. I love the self-propelled feature because it puts no pressure on my back. The second feature that I love is the embedded dirt sensor. I am confident my carpet is clean. I also like the bag because I DO NOT want to see anything I have vacuumed up.
There are a couple things I don't care for on the new model. The attachment on the front keeps falling off. There is no door to hold it and the small hooks do not hold it. Also, the cord pulls off the attachments on the back of the vacuum.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Has great suction until the hose comes loose. I have only had it a couple of weeks, I hate to see how loose it will be after a couple of years.

I vacuum a lot; I have killed many vacuum in my day. I am terrible about picking up things I should not with them . This vacuum can take it all, It is amazing. The suction is ridiculously strong. I have no complaints , it has lasted me three years and I am only on here because I wanted to order one for my MIL.

It was obvious when we opened the package that the vacuum had previously been returned. Self propelled feature would not turn off and there was something wrong with the mechanism. I was very surprised that HD would send it out to us in that condition. We returned to local HD with no problem.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Sweeper is as described, but it is difficult to lift up from bare floors to thick area rug. It is a heavy sweeper, and even with the self-propelled adjustment, it is awkward to move around; but it does the job satisfactorily.

I had this vac delivered and assembled and brought it home with excitement. When I plugged it in, it was loud, unstable, as I was vacuuming, defective and was difficult to push. Not worth the money, nor my time.
I returned it the same day of delivery. I do not recommend this product, as it is too costly. The vacuum has a nice contemporary appearance, but the performance is horrific.
No, I do not recommend this product.

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the tools/attachments could be better secured to the body. Their current mounting scheme does work but it's a little flimsy and sometimes a bit of a bother. Otherwise, the suction power is outstanding and the carpet beater/whisker does an excellent job. The motorized assist was a pleasant surprise and the wife uses that function constantly. The trigger for it being in the handle makes me wonder how long it will work well ... but time will tell. So far, so excellent.
