Bring your home to the brink of laboratory clean conditions with this amazing HOOVER U6439-900 WindTunnel! This Upright Vacuum Cleaner is self-propelled in forward or reverse -- so the machine does virtually all the work! 15-inch cleaning width Non-marking furniture guard Deluxe stretch hose extends up to 11' when using both wands and crevice tool Extra tools - crevice tool, furniture nozzle, dusting brush, and two wands 31-foot power cord with quick release Headlight
Perfect for deep cleaning without excessive strain, the self-propelled Hoover WindTunnel Ultra upright takes charge of its own locomotion both coming and going. In addition, Hoover's WindTunnel technology creates a powerful double air path for maximum suction and cleaning. The vacuum even provides feedback on cleaning progress with the Embedded Dirt Finder--a feature that scans the floor for debris, signaling you if there's still dirt to be picked up. You can operate the Dirt Finder on a regular setting for your routine cleaning or on a high setting for your deep-cleaning sprees.
The WindTunnel Ultra is designed for both bare floors and carpets, with a 15-inch cleaning path and three adjustable nozzle heights to accommodate variation in carpet depth. Dirt collection is bagged using Hoover's Microfiltration system, and a helpful indicator signal keeps you posted on the bag's status. A HEPA filter assists the bag, trapping 100 percent of dust mites and 99.98 percent of ragweed and common grass pollens.
The vacuum comes handsomely equipped for attachment cleaning with a stretch hose, two extension wands, a crevice tool, an upholstery tool, and a dusting brush all on board. (The Dirt Finder does not work with the attachments.) The most rigorous attachment is a powered hand tool with its own rotating brushroll--great for carpeted stairs and durable upholstery. Other useful elements include quick-release cord hooks, a carrying handle, a headlight, and a view window over the brush roll. Hoover covers the machine with a one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard

Best bagged out there:
I purchased mine through Heartland America, and it was refurbished. I have had several back surgeries and wanted something to replace my junky Bissell, but I was worried about the self propelled "jerking" me around. My mom has one so I tried it and that was all it took! I dont see how I ever functioned without it. This is a great product that I would even reccomend to my ex-wife!
2 star for lasting 1 WHOLE year:
My favorite Hoover did it again this time. This time I gave it a 2 star for lasting for one whole year. Good Job Hoover!!! Never buying it again.
Disappointed in CR's 'glowing review':
I'm really disappointed in this vac. I, too like many other reviewers purchased this two years ago based on CR's great review. Pfft. For the past few months the on/off switch hasn't worked, requiring me to plug/unplug the unit to turn it off and on. I decided I could live with that until the knob to change from carpet to hard surface quit moving. My vac is now making a squealing noise when pushed and the roller won't roll without pushing it. As another reviewer mentioned...the vac falls over when you try to... more info
Lasted for 4+ years:
I paid around $350 for the vacuum about 4-5 years ago. Currently it is sitting at a repair store and will mostly likely be dumped. It, until the past month, always worked very well. I have long hair and also have 2 cats and vacuum 2x's + per week. It always did the job. (NOTE - I would flip the vacuum over, unscrew the face plate and remove my hair and string from the roller brush. You need to do this with any vacuum.) Now my vacuum 1) doesn't seem to be picking up, 2) the self propelled piece broke a long... more info
