I owned a predecessor to this vacuum for about 12 years, but finally some of the plastic pieces were breaking, and I'd gone over the cord a few too many times. It's still up and running, but I figured at a good price I'd go ahead and replace it. I loved the old one, which was a Hoover Futura, and I love this one even more so far. It has a lot of power and I can easily move from one floor surface to another. It even has a switch that you can use to turn of the motorized brushes as you move between carpeted areas. I also especially like the small powered brush that you can use for stairs. It is just the right size to get dirt and fur from corners. The attachments make it perfect for vacuuming the car and it is easy to move around with two metal "wands" that can be detached. I do have a very furry dog so I use my vacuum very frequently. My last vacuum held up wonderfully and I didn't hesitate to buy another Hoover. I would recommend this vacuum to anyone.

I bought a hoover windtunnel cannister vacuum less than 3 ywers ago. The motor burned out. I only use it at home. Since my husband is in the military and we moved, I was unable to bring it to my point of sale. The hoover customer service was not helpful. I will never buy a hoover product again.

Very impressed with the suction, and the filtration. Love the way you can turn the roller brush on/off with a easy to use handle switch. I have always been a canistor user and found the Hoover to exceed my needs. You can use either filtration or regular replacement bags. It's peace of mind to know that Hoover
remains the only manufacturer of Vacuums Cleaners in the US that have their own Factory Repair Centers and great service after the sale. They are also located in the Internet. Try finding that when you buy a Fantum or Regina. I did and they're a joke.

What a dissapointment! This vacuum was good for about two weeks, now the rubber belt has stretched and it will not spin the brush-bar. The hose from the cannister to the wand attachment is too short, so I am constantly hauling the cannister towards me. Also if you want to vacuum blinds, you have to lift the entire cannister off the floor with your other hand - not convenient. The bag is small and requires replacement often. It is easy to move from carpet to bare floor, but all the other problems make this a poor choice. Too bad, my twenty-year-old hoover worked better. This one is headed to the landfill.
