Hoover U6437-900 / U6439-900 Windtunnel

Pros: Excellent Pet Hair Removal Bag Full Indicator Light Clean Indicator Light

Cons: Noisy Tool Holder Lid Falls off easily

The Bottom Line: This is the best value I found in a vacuum cleaner that actually picks up dog hair.

Review: My wife and I have a border collie that sheds a lot. Although we owned several vacuum cleaner brands, nothing seemed to work. When guests would visit, we would have to vacuum the carpet and then rake the dog hair out with a pet slicker brush. We thought ...

Pros: powerful, hand tools on board

Cons: hose too short

Review: Excellent vacuum cleaner. Very powerful suction. Picks up pet hair very well. Good buy for the price. This is my second Hoover vacuum cleaner in 15 ...

Pros: Very powerful and convenient features

Cons: One of the more expensive but well worth it!

Review: Because of my allergies I prefer a bagged vacuum to a bagless. Either way the Hoover Wind Tunnel has a lot of suction. Very convenient features. This vacuum really works and the proof is in the bag. This bag fills up completely so I know it's working ...

Pros: Powerful suction, excellent cleaner

Cons: Hose to short and not flexible enough

Review: This is my 3rd Hoover vacuum and am totally satisfied with the powerful suction it has vacuuming the carpet. My carpet looks clean and refreshed after running the vacuum over it. I would like to see a retractable cord someday, although the long cord ...

Pros: Suction EXTREMELY powerful, tools conveniently "on board", cleans well, handy hose.

Cons: Heavy weight, Hose not long enough, very loud. Warning: Has been RECALLED! Check Hoover website!!!

The Bottom Line: This vacuum cleaner is heavy and has a few drawbacks, but it does an excellent job of cleaning carpets and hard floors. It is a great value for the money.

Review: ********* UPDATE May 2006 *********** Well folks, I have some very bad news. My Hoover Windtunnel blew up last month. Literally. I was about to vacuum the rug and it suddenly made a popping sound and then the motor started to die, and grey smoke came ...

Pros: Fairly priced, powerful, outstanding filtration.

Cons: Short attachment hose

The Bottom Line: Far better cleaning for vacuums in this price range. Not over priced or hyped. Better filtration than Dyson, easier to use attachments. Low profile design, easier to clean around furniture.

Review: I wrote a review about the Dyson Animal which I returned (see my Dyson Animal review) and later purchased the Hoover Wind Tunnel self propelled. This web site is designed to aid consumers in the purchase of products. I welcome comments and questions to ...

Pros: durable and reliable, great suction, lightweight and attractive

Cons: short hose.

The Bottom Line: A great reliable vaccuum at an affordable price.

Review: When we moved into our new house we also got a big change... instead of hardwood floors, we had carpet. The previous owners had a big pitbull and the carpet was all coated in the fur. My first job was to run out and get a vaccuum. I first called ...

Pros: Powerful suction, good length on the hose and power cord. Easy assembly. Reliable.

Cons: Blow-through dust is not good for allergy sufferers.

The Bottom Line: I would say, buy it. This is a good selection, but if I were to buy one today I would look at a competing brand that has fewer emissions.

Review: We bought the 6439-900 after reading about it in "a leading consumer magazine", where it was very highly rated. We paid $239 (a regular price at a discount store)after shopping around. Assembly was quick and easy, with clear instructions. Only a few ...

Pros: Good Suction, side exhaust.

Cons: Plastic foot latch breaks, noisy.

Review: We have had this vacuum for two years. It picks up well, but the foot latch just about broke off. Plus, its heavy and noisy. Next time, we think will get a Bissell.(When our Hoover breaks.) It does very well on carpet and bare floors and the bag changes ...

Pros: great suctioning, on board tools work well, filtering works great

Cons: Not very durable. We had two separate parts break in less than a year.

Review: At first I loved this vacuum. It did a great job cleaning although it is a bit noisey and heavy. It was very easy to go from floors to on board tools. But it just didn't last. We've had ours for almost a year and I'm already having to buy a new ...
