 Stars are in limbo! Anxiously waiting for my new vacuum cleaner March 11, 2010
Gas Girl (Parkland, FL)
My old, old, old Hoover Windtunnel finally gave up the ghost and died. I loved it so much that I have bought a new one! The box just arrived in terrible shape, one of the cleaning wands is missing, and the pet tool that is supposed to be packaged in a plastic bag is not packaged at all.
I have contacted Amazon and I have been assured that I will be receiving another one tomorrow, along with a return shipping label for the other one. I have every confidence that Amazon will stand behind its product and that I will be delighted with my new cleaner.
Great Vaccuum March 11, 2010
Daniel J. Lekatz (Minneapolis, MN United States)
Only complaint is that it tends to slip out of the manual mode into the self propelled mode fairly easily. Otherwise very satisfied with the purchase. Well put together vacuum that works well even on hard wood floors.
*****Excellent vacuum with utilitarian (useful) features & components.***** March 10, 2010
Hoosiermama (CARMEL, IN USA)
I rarely get 'enthusiastic' about appliances but, this: Hoover U5491900 Windtunnel Anniversary Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner is not only an excellent vacuum, but it is also well equipped with components:
1. Two(2) extensions wands (hose attachments, to connect to & elongate flexible vacuum hose).
2. Short, Brush Attachment for hard surfaces.
3. Wedge Tool (Long, Hose-like attachments for table legs & floor brd. trim).
4. Short, wide, vacuum-nose-shaped attachment for stair crevasses.
5. And, my personal favorite, a *suction powered, brush attachment for furniture & hard floor covering(s).
* This is marketed by Hoover® as their 'Pet Hair Attachment'
...(or something similar to the aforementioned attachment). :)
Along with other Windtunnel® Models, this U5491900 has the 'embedded dirt locator'. It is a red & green light indicator that tells you when the embedded dirt is no longer...um...embedded. :) This function seemed to work for a spell on our last Windtunnel®, but it became obvious it had stopped 'locating & alerting' of embedded dirt, when the Visible Dirt was still present, never-mind the pesky, embedded dirt! Overall an excellent Hoover Windtunnel® vacuum with useful & features & components.
 Hoover U6485900 Windtunnel Anniversary Vacuum March 4, 2010
Arlene Berry (Los Angeles, CA)
I purchased this vacuum at the insistance of the salesman at Best Buy.
As I was speaking to the salesman, another customer had already picked up the vacuum box, raving about the reviews he just read on this vacuum.
Please do yourself a favor and don't buy this vacuum, unless you like aerobic exercise. Although it has incredible suction, the attachments fly off and I am constantly having to bend down and pick them up. Many times they flew under the bed and tables, which is very, very annoying.
I have had flea problems and have to vacuum daily so I know how expensive the bags are (have to use one every day and then trash it immediately), and how inconvenient it is to have attachments that fly off the vacuum.
If I could, I would get rid of this crappy vacuum today in favor of a Dyson, which has a 5 year warranty.
I had a Hoover for 26 years and it was great, but this Wind Tunnel is a nightmare...pass it up or get a lot of exercise
 I Do Not Recommend This Vacuum February 26, 2010
Just my opinion (Wonderland)
I have used this vacuum approximately forty times and I can't stand it at all. Amazon is usually an excellent resource for purchasing, however, they got it wrong this time. Spare yourself the aggravation and move on to another vacuum. The suction is okay, but the vacuum is heavy and the attachments are both cheap and useless. They are constructed of a toy grade plastic which will undoubtedly break causing you to have to purchase a replacement. They are also NOT riveted, so they fall apart constantly as you are in the throws of your joyous cleaning adventure. The other reviewers must work for Hoover, because I fail to see the genius here. It's going back!
