Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hoover U6436-900 TurboPower Self-Propelled WindTunnel Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner
Customer Review: You cannot go wrong with a Hoover Vaccum cleaner!
Summary: 5 Stars
In 47 years this is my 3rd Hoover Vacuum Cleaner. They are reliable, easy to use and exceed their description. The fact that it powers itself is only one of its good features. It's good in your back and your shoulders and it's so powerful that it leaves even old carpets looking as new. I read a few reviews where people didn't like this machine. To these people all have to say is: READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. Most probably the vacuum cleaner is not working to their expectations because they are doing something wrong. The first Hoover I had I purchased in the early 70's and is still working. The second one was purchased in the 80's, my maid broke it a couple of years ago. In spite of my warnings she was putting it away by lifting it the wrong way and it disangaged the power motor, braking it. Being so old it would have been too expensive to fix it. Hoovers are heavy vacuuns and you need that selfpower to make vacuuming easdier. It lasted over 20 years. I had purchased it to use it on the second floor of the house we had at that time, I had one on each floor. The first one, is still useable but showing its age, I gave to my mother after we moved to a one story home. I got it back after she die 10 years ago. That's the one I was using until I bought this one, my third one. I am very familiar with Hoovers and wouldn't even think of buying another brand. I also own a Hoover floor cleaner and I use it lot on my ceramic tile floors. This Hoover U6436-900 TurboPower Self Propelled Windtunnel Bagged Upright Vacuum is the best of the three I have had. There's a lot of new technology on it but Hoover's standards are still there. I strongly recomend it.

Customer Review: Just As Good As Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently bought the Hoover Windtunnel U6436-900 (TurboPower 7600) to replace my old Hoover Windtunnel U6445-920 (Mach 6.9) which was "giving up the ghost" after 6 years of flawless service. I could have had the old vacuum fixed for less than half of what the new one cost, but I decided to turn back the clock and invest in a new vacuum.
The new U6436 is almost exactly the same as my old Hoover except that it stores tools on the back of the vacuum and now has room up front for the power attachment. Hoover Windtunnel is definitely as loud as ever too. That's because it's actually doing something. It's amazing how much suction these vacuums have when the bag is empty. By the time the bag is full, I estimate that suction decreases by 25%...which is still more than adequate by the way.
I compared the U6436 side-by-side with the Eureka TheBoss 4870GZ that my inlaws have. The Hoover beats the Eureka pretty solidly in power and ease of push thanks to the self propel feature. It really glides along like it is on iceskates or something...almost effortless. Since the Hoover costs 33% more, this is to be expected. The Eureka is quieter, and that's about it.
The product manual that came with the U6436 indicates that it has a 2 year warranty. I've seen conflicting reports on this on various other sites, but it is definitely 2 years...
A famous consumer magazine ranks this vacuum near the top, and I agree. I have owned Hoover Windtunnel for quite awhile now, and they are reliable and do a great job. The bags are cheap too, usually around $7-$8 for 3 of them.
In short, I highly recommend this vacuum.
Customer Review: Terrific Upright Vacuum
Summary: 5 Stars
We originally got this vacuum 3 years ago from a local hospital based asthma program my family was involved with. Upon completion of the program, each family received this vacuum, which at the time was selling for around $350. My daughter had/has allergies and fairly severe asthma issues. This vacuum was a life-saver! The suction is phenomenal, and the filters let very little, if any, allergens and dust back into the air. I can even vacuum while she is in the room without setting off her asthma! I have used this vacuum every single day.....usually more than once per day, since we got it, and it is just now starting to fall apart. The suction is still terrific, and it still cleans extremely well, but the handle no longer stays in the upright position (I broke the latch) and the extension tubes are cracked and broken (again, from my over-use and abuse). For the money, I truly feel that this is one of the best uprights on the market. The small beater head brush attachment is fairly pathetic, but that is really my only complaint. This vacuum has a super long cord, which is WONDERFUL, as I can do my entire first floor without having to move the plug. Over-all, I LOVE this vacuum, and have just ordered another to replace the first......so happy the price has come down!!Customer Review: Best Vacuum I Have EVER Owned
Summary: 5 Stars
...And I've owned at LEAST ten in my lifetime. My last vacuum was also a Hoover and it did a pretty decent job but it was moving on six or seven years old and I noticed it was not doing as good of a job as it used to do. So, having read in CR about the TurboPower Self-Propelled Bagged (IVE HAD BAGLESS...THEY SUCK...and I don't mean in the GOOD way they're supposed to suck)... I bought this 7600. Now, in the interim, we got a yellow lab puppy. I got the puppy last Christmas, and then we purchased the 7600 this past June, just at the same time the pup started MAJOR spring shedding . You cannot believe how this vacuum sucked up EVERYTHING. I took one pass in the house when I first got the vacuum, with an empty bag, and when I was finished with ONE ROOM the bag was half full of hair, dust, and dirt. I emptied the bag four times before I finished the entire house. The next time I vacuumed, maybe ten days later, the same thing again, maybe I emptied it twice. I can remember with the old one that I changed the bag every three or four WEEKS.
You cannot go wrong with this vacuum. It's not that heavy (although I personally believe a heavy vac is a better vac); it does the job beyond belief, your carpets spell good, and its QUIET for an upright.
Customer Review: Hoover U6436-900
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been a "Hoover" user for many years and totally rely on the credibility of the company. When my Hoover vacuum died after 20 years, I went to the department store, purchased the Hoover vacuum that met my needs, and once home learned I could barely move it. My mistake. After admitting I didn't have the capabilities I once had, I returned it to the store after one week and ordered this amazing Hoover U6436-900 vacuum from Amazon.com. It's so easy to propel, to carry and to empty the debris. I was embarrased to see how much soil remained in my carpets that I once thought were clean. I thought I had done my homework on line prior to the first purchase in the store, but once in hand, I learned I must have missed something. Researching again on line, I not only learned more about the vacuum, I learned that my trusty Amazon.com could be used for more than ordering books. I am one happy customer all around. Now if I could just train my new Hoover to clean while I'm reading, I'd be a happy old lady.
