Editorial Review:

By design, many conventional vacuum cleaners scatter dirt back into the carpeting because the rotating brushes and airflow don't work in harmony. But Hoover engineers discovered a way to make the rotating brushes and airflow work in harmony with the power of the wind. It's called WindTunnel technology. Located in the floor nozzle, Hoover WindTunnel technology actually lifts and traps the dirt, so it won't scatter back into your carpet, which means the dirt ends up in the cleaner, not on your floor. The Self-Cleaning HEPA Filter cleans itself every 6 seconds to maintain cleaning power. You never have to touch or replace the main filter. It Traps 100% of dust mites, ragweed and common grass pollen under normal household conditions.

My previous vacuum was a Hoover windtunnel (bagged and self propelled) from 15 years ago. I loved that vacuum. It was old and the beater thing was ready to be replaced again. So I thought I would follow Consumer Reports again, and go with #2 Allergy rated Windtunnel 2. I bought here on Amazon. I used it 4 times. Not self-propelled, so it felt like a ton to push around. The extender wand tool on the hose has poor suction. And with only one bag and no filter, the exhaust smells dusty. NOOOOO comparison to my... more info

Bags come apart:

While I agree that the unit is heavy, overall it does a better than average cleaning job. The main issue I have is not with the unit, rather it is with the W2 bags. They are a bit pricey as mentioned in other reviews, but my problem is that the bag separates from the green mounting flange that slides into the holder on the vacuum. I called Hoover on a non toll free number and after an hour finally reached someone who agreed to send some free replacement bags. The same thing happened. I'll be vacuuming and... more info

Great Vacuum - Convenient Cord Reel:

Vacuum was easy to assemble and quickly ready for use. Did a good job on carpets, even though it is a little heavy and difficult at times to maneuver. The cord is a good length and the cord reel is the feature I like the most. Great vacuum and a great deal at Amazon's sale price.
