Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hoover U6439-900 Self-Propelled WindTunnel Ultra Upright Vacuum Cleaner

Customer Review: "Hoover" now stands for TOO OBNOXIOUS
Summary: 1 Stars

Having owned a self-propelled Hoover upright for 6 years and looking for an excuse to dump it, I have to agree with the negative comments: too hard to maneuver, too bulky to vacuum under anything shorter than a foot high, too difficult to change the TWO belts (requires a lot of strength), too hard to change the bag, too much plastic in the body, and too heavy in general and top-heavy in particular (tips over). There really isn't too much that's right with it - maybe the suction is OK.

I'd like to add that it's also incredibly loud. Why aren't mufflers put on these appliances? And now since the self-propeller has stopped working, which drove me to this site, I fear that it will be too expensive to fix. The dealer said it would be a minimum $80-$90 to service a self-propeller type vac and that doesn't even include a new transmission! If my Electrolux guy can't fix it for less I will finally have my excuse to dump it!!!

In the meanwhile, guess what I dragged up from the basement to use on the carpets? My 34 year old Hoover which I purchased as a newlywed!!! And since it was made by Hoover when Hoover meant DEPENDABLE it has none of the current model's problems and still works great!!! Too bad the current product is so obnoxious.

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
