Description of Hoover U6439-900 Self-Propelled WindTunnel Ultra Upright Vacuum Cleaner
Self-Propelled upright cleaner features the proven Cleaning Performance of WindTunnel¿ technology (uses computer designed air ducts to provide a powerful dual air stream that enhances dirt pick up capabilities)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
Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hoover U6439-900 Self-Propelled WindTunnel Ultra Upright Vacuum Cleaner
Customer Review: Best vacuum I've owned!
Summary: 5 Stars
If I had read the reviews above I might've not bought this vacuum. However, I did quite a lot of research before purchasing this item, and it is rated #1 by Consumer Reports. I love this vacuum! And you should know, like most normal people, I hate to vacuum! I bought it to replace a cannister type vacuum (that the previous owner of our home recommended for our large home w/ lots of irregular surfaced slate tile and what seems to me, miles of carpet). You should know, along with this large home, I have 4 kids and needed something that would do the job quickly and well. One of the best things I did before buying this (and after narrowing my decision), was to go to a local Hoover store, where I could try it out of the box and have any questions answered by people who work on these babies. They showed me everything and then some. I asked a lot of questions and they answered them all (then I shopped around for my best price). I can't recommend going to a Hoover store enough...make the time (unless you plan to thoroughly read the owner's manual...yawn)! There are a few "tricky" elements to this product that, if I was not shown at the store, I would be complaing about now. For instance, to switch from carpet to bare floor mode, you need to tilt the handle forwad a bit, and then the switches move easily, otherwise they feel jammed (like someone wrote above). The self propelled function (works forward and back) appealed to me (as my back killed me when using the cannister type) and this is a cool feature that makes this baby practically move itself. Yes, this unit is heavy (but not too bad), and I figured with the self propelling motor, it would be. There are many attachments for the edges of rooms or stairs. I do think I'll get the extended warrenty on this product, as I think the self propel feature could give out over time, especially if you have a big home like mine. Even though it's heavy and I have an additional vacuum for upstairs, this one works so much better, that I gladly carry this one upstairs for the task. I think this product is ideal for large homes with lots of rooms and open space. It is really not something I'd recommend for smaller tight spaces. The vacuum path is quite large and covers my large rooms quickly. The suction is so great, small pets and children better get out of the way! Seriously, its suction vastly surpasses my old cannister, even on my irregular slate tile. It also gets the edges of rooms so clean, I am finding I rarely have to use my attachments. The cord is really long and I can usually do two rooms before I need to move the cord...cool. It does use bags, but they're no big deal, and I'm not sure I like the bagless ones when it comes to dumping out the dust...cough, cough! To move it when off, simply tilt it on it's back wheels and that's it...someone above said it's impossible to move when off...don't believe them. Nothing is perfect, so here's the flip side. It's heavy...true. It is a pretty big unit and won't fit under some of my coffee tables (no biggie for me, I just move the table, or use the attachments). I'd recommend getting the extended hose (purchase separately $30), as the hose on this one doesn't extend too far, limiting the ability to easily use the attachments. And one of my attachment heads keeps falling off its holder (grr). Also, it would be nice if the cord self-wound, but not that big of a deal to me. Overall, it's a superior product that works great on carpet, tile, irregular slate...great vacuum at a much lower price than the overpriced Dysons and other fancy brands. As for my cannister, it'll be relegated to my garage to use for my car.
