Amazing Dust and Odor Control
Customer Rating
5.0
Although this unit is a relatively new purchase I have to give it five stars for it's dust collecting ability and amazing odor control abilities alone.
Our previous vacuum was manufactured by a firm with a long tradition of selling vacuum cleaners that could literally last a lifetime. That unit was paired with disposable paper vacuum bag contained within a permanent machine-mounted fabric bag. The manufacture claims that both the disposable paper bag and the fabric bag are Hepa-rated filters. We have two large Labrador Retrievers equipped with the prolific shedding cycles particular to that breed. Despite frequent changing of the vacuum's paper filtering bags and regular washing of the fabric outer bag, we couldn't use that vacuum for more than two cycles before that well-known dog hair/vacuum odor would present itself again.
Adding to the odor condition is the presence of dust within our home. Although our combined furnace and A/C forced-air system employs regular disposable air filters paired with an electronic air cleaner, our family likes to have our windows open as often as possible and of course has the heavy dog-dander factor as well. Both of these conditions add to the level of dust that collects over time in in our carpet, regardless of the fact that we have the carpets professionally cleaned at least twice a year.
Then entered the Hoover WindTunnel Pro Pet Hepa Bagless Vacuum. It was both fascinating and unsettling to see the enormous quantity of fine dust and pet hair which collected in the Hoover's clear plastic collector after vacuuming just one bedroom. Despite the large load with extreme fines there was absolutely no odor that emanated from the Hoover. The container removes from the unit quickly and easily for the dumping of vacuum-collected matter. The Hoover is also equipped with a thick HEPA filter which contains any odor-causing particles, leaving the exhaust air of the unit fresh and clean. Hoover recommends removing and washing the HEPA filter once every two months, a quick and simple process, although with our dust load I have washed the filter once every month.
The Hoover is equipped with a permanently mounted and connected hose which is easily deployed, and the onboard variety of attachments perform a number of useful tasks. These are both handy features and can be used for non-carpet related uses as well as being used for cleaning of baseboards and crevices as one goes about a room vacuuming the floor.
Along with the mentioned features the vacuum is lightweight, and despite having a body comprised primarily of plastics appears to be sturdy and built with an eye toward durability.
A very fine vacuum overall.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Air coming out of vacuum seem very hot, is this normal?
Just bought this vacuum, ran it for a few minutes and tested everything out, it cleaned more stuff out of the hall way carpet than we've gotten out in the last year with the old vacuum. However, it seems to be running hotter than the old vacuum, is this normal? The hot air is coming out from where the HEPA filter is, so the location is normal. I'm just worried that this excess heat will wear the machine out quicker. Old model is a Dirt Devil Breeze Bag-less purchased about 10 years ago.
I too was both amazed (and a bit disgusted) with the quantity of filth pulled from our professionally cleaned twice a year carpeting. Our last vacuum was a Kirby that we finally sold because of its apparent low air filtering ability. I find that the new Hoover does not run any hotter than the Kirby, but if you have concerns you should call Hoover's customer service line to discuss the issue.

What causes this model of vacuum cleaner to stop in the middle of the job? Is overheating an issue? Can this be fixed? If so, how?
Our Hoover T Series / 12 AMD was purchased less than a year ago and has been fuctioning well until today. It simply stopped in middle of vacuuming a small carpeted area. We thought it might have to do with apartment's electrical outlet, but apparently not. We'd emptied the container of dirt and checked to maje sure no obstruction was in the rollers -- replugged and it just would not turn on. I'm hoping that it just needs to cool off fior a while. Please advise if you've experienced what I described and how you remedied it. I'd paid over $150.00 for this vacuum cleaner and am hoping it's not altogether dead and gone. Thanks for your help!
I don't know the warranty period of the Hoover, but the condition should be reported to Hoover's customer service center for their opinion and solution ideas.

Hard to push
This vac works great on all carpet in house except new living room carpet. This vac is hard to push and is on highest setting , You have to keep it moving fast or it sucks to carpet and is hard to get moving. Any help would be appreciated as I am exhausted after vacuuming my 12x15 living room.
New carpet has a higher number of attached fibers, making it more difficult for air to pass from within the carpet into the vacuum itself. These fibers will wear over time which will allow a free air flow into the machine. Although difficult at the moment, you can take some comfort in knowing that the problem is only due to the Hoover's deep-cleaning nature.
