Hoover S3765 040 Windtunnel Bagless Canister Vacuum WindTunnel Technology uses computer designed air ducts to provide a powerful dual air stream to enhance dirt pick up capabilities. The WindTunnel design also reduces the scattering of debris, common to many ordinary canisters. The WindTunnel Bagless Power Nozzle Canister with Electronic finger-touch variable speed control, remote fingertip power on/off and remote fingertip brush roll on/off, picks up more dirt than any other canister...period!
Customer Reviews
After 30 years of using uprights, the switch to a canister vacuum meant I spent a little time climbing the learning curve, but the suction power of this machine is awesome (in a home with two dogs and two cats). My carpets have never been cleaner. Yes, the dirt cup fills quickly, but it is easily emptied into a garbage can in the garage, and the filter cleans quickly with the provided tool.
The downsides of this vacuum are 1) the hose should be about one foot longer (when cleaning stairsteps by hand) and, 2) the canister is constantly hanging up against a piece of furniture or at a hallway corner (although I have found that by keeping the trailing hose in my other hand, I can usually keep moving right along).
I purchased this machine in September for $213, so maybe prospective buyers should be on the lookout for future price declines.
Overall, highly recommended.
This Machine Sucks!, February 4, 2009 By Terrence Feenstra "Story Lover" (Sioux City, Iowa)
This vacuum is much better than I expected. Our last one died after about 4 years and granted it was abused and not well maintained. But a lot of that was due to not really being a user serviceable vacuum. This Hoover came with a manual that gives complete descriptions on how to replace all the parts/belts! That alone will make me more likely to attempt to replace the parts.Product Details
As for operation we've only had it a few days. It is easy (logical) to use. Suction is amazing. We have primarily hardwood floors with several floor rugs on which it works real well. Very strong suction so the smaller rugs seem to easier to vacuum on the lowest suction setting.
Oh, and did I mention quiet? This vacuum is significantly quieter than any other we've had. Certainly helps with not freaking the dogs out. Sheba lays there looking at it instead of running off.
Update: Aug 6 2009
A month later and the vacuum is still working and has good suction. One thing we have run into is the pet fur from the Great Pyrenees clogs up the brush roller. We have to manually clean out the long fur with the little cleaning tool they provide before each vacuum and sometimes once again during the same vacuum session. Obviously if you don't have dogs with long fur this may not be a real issue. Still impressed with the amount of dirt it does pick up which is why the canister has to be emptied so frequently.
