A Big Mistake

byalexgrace Nov 17, 2004

Pros The suction is great - as long as the bag is in place properly.
Cons The weight, the accessory hose, the bag, the handle...keep reading...
Recommended it? No

I bought this vacuum using the reviews on this site. I am SO disappointed!

~The plastic door holding the upholstery attachment broke the first time I used it.

~The accessory hose is placed in the middle of the back of the vacuum, making the entire vacuum tip the minute you try... Read full review »

Not my favorite

Pros It seemed to have very good suction
Cons Very heavy. Broke easily. The self-propelled function was weird.
Recommended it? No

I just returned my Self-Propelled Wind Tunnel to Costco. I used it for a month and did not care for it. I was thinking I made a bad decision and was stuck with it. We are having a kitchen remodel going on so an electrician was doing some work for us. After he left I was sweeping up some insulation... Read full review »

Next Step Up Ultra U6433-900

Pros Easy for arthritic people to maneuver
Cons Breakaway knob should be better, and manual revised.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this product because of its self-propel feature, and as a replacement for my Fantom Fury which was killing me to push around.

I like all the features, but ordered a 20 ft. extension hose for the accessories. However, one problem I had was in the slide knob. When trying to slide... Read full review »

Worst vacuum I ever had

Pros None
Cons Hose is too short. Doesn't pick up a thing.
Recommended it? No

The Wind Tunnel is the worst vacuum I have ever owned. I paid over $250.00 for this and it does not pick up what it should. I have a dog and the hair stays in the same place that I just vacuumed. It doesn't even pick up a piece of lint. The hose is so short that the entire vacuum falls on my back... Read full review »

Impeccable Cleaning

bygotkids May 2, 2003
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros Incredible suction! Rotating Spin Brush attachment (Powered Hand Held Tool)!!
Cons 21 lbs, or so, a little heavy for cleaning on stairs.
Recommended it? Yes

OK, my old vacuum (kenmore) wasn't cleaning so well. So I checked out Consumer Reports recommendation and decided with the help on the other reviews on this site and Consumer's that I'd give this Hoover a try. First of all let me say that I have 4 kids and 2 cats. After cleaning with my old... Read full review »

This is a very good vacuum cleaner

byrowie Apr 20, 2003
1 Helpfuls 2 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Really does grab dirt you can't see
Cons Heavy, and the hose is way short
Recommended it? Yes

I've had the unit for only 2 days so far, so my comments are based on initial impressions. Previously I used a Hoover upright that was about 5 years old, and also have a no-name barrel unit that came from Australia when I moved to the US (the barrel unit was supposed to be good quality a few years...

Pros Picks up cat hair Easy bag changes Powerful suction Good value
Cons Short tool hose
Recommended it? Yes

We read the reviews at this and many other sites before purchasing the Hoover Self-Propelled WindTunnel Ultra Upright (model U6430900). We previously owned a Hoover Self-Propelled upgright when Hoover first introduced "on-board tools" (10 years ago). This old vacuum continues to do a good job... Read full review »

Dream Machine? You Bet!

Pros Mini Upholstery attachment, self propelling, GREAT SUCTION
Cons bags (that I can find) don't fit right and fill quickly, short hose
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased this vacuum almost a year ago, in April 2002, when the last of a series of crazy maids quit on me. I have 4 large dogs who live indoors, so dog hair is my most serious problem. I figured if I could find a good vacuum, maybe I wouldn't mind cleaning so much.

After a lot of... Read full review »

Mother's Helper: Hoover Self Propelled WindTunnel Ultra Upright - U6430900 Vacuum

Pros Cleans great! Attachments work great too!
Cons Short attachment hose
Recommended it? Yes

We have a love-hate relationship with our dogs. We love the dogs. We hate the dog hair. If you have dogs or cats, you know what a pain the hair is. And if you also happen to have young children, like we do, you also know how keeping floors and furniture clean becomes exponentially important.

This Hoover SUCKS!

byImpaler Feb 9, 2003
26 Helpfuls 27 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 3 Comments
Pros Great suction on carpet and bare floors; versatile hand tools
Cons Inflexible hose; self-propulsion useless; short cord
Recommended it? Yes

I'm a floor freak. The house can be in shambles around me but the floor better be clean. There's nothing worse than walking across a carpet and getting a sockfull of doghair, or barefeet looking like they've been walking on asphalt for a couple of hours.

Enter the Hoover Self Propelled... Read full review »
