All About A Hoover Windtunnel Vaccum

The Hoover windtunnel vacuum series are some of the best vacuums to own according to many different reviews. The patented windtunnel technology is getting rave reviews from happy customers. The Hoover platinum bagless cyclonic canister is one such vacuum that offers this technology. It features three distinct air tunnels that lift and remove dirt from your carpet. It also prevents dirt from scattering back onto your clean floor or from drifting through the air and settling back onto your furniture. This vacuum includes a filter made with HEPA media that traps 99.97% of the dirt and dust ensuring clean air. It has a multi-stage cyclonic filtration system; that means that the air going through the filter is cleaner than the air that was pulled into the vacuum. This will result in the filter staying clean longer and at the same time, there will be no loss of suction while cleaning. There is an integrated reminder that will tell you when to clean the washable filter and it will automatically register your next cleaning date. It also offers an imbedded dirt finder indicator that will turn from red to green when your carpet is clean. There is a power button located on the handle for maximum convenience and a push button floor selector that will adjust your vacuum to just the right height setting for your carpet or floors. The non-marring wheels ensure that your floors will not get scratched, and there is a long forty inch cord that is great for uninterrupted cleaning. This vacuum includes accessories and a six year limited warranty. Check this vacuum out if you are looking for a floor to ceiling cleaning; it will definitely do the job. Pricing is around three hundred dollars.

There are other models in the Hoover windtunnel vacuum series and you really cannot go wrong with any of them. One of the models, the U8311-900 comes complete with some excellent features, but be aware that it is a bit heavy at twenty-two pounds. There is a self-propelled Hoover windtunnel vacuum that is bagless and is extremely easy to push, both forward and backward, so this a very lightweight vacuum that still does a great cleaning job, even trapping 100% of dust mites, ragweed and common grass pollens with its HEPA filtration system. The bagless vacuums are among my personal favorites as there is nothing worse than needing to vacuum your carpets only to realize that you are out of bags – and so is the store where you purchase them. Another nice feature about the bagless vacuums is that you can clean the dust receptacles ensuring that all the dirt from each cleaning is completely gone.

With so many different Hoover windtunnel vacuums from which to choose (both in canister models and upright models) you will be sure to find the right one to fit your needs. They range in price from around two-hundred dollars to around three hundred dollars. Many online sites will ship the vacuum for free if you are located near one of their dealers, so be sure to check around before you purchase one. Whether you are looking for a compact vacuum, a lightweight vacuum to help you zoom through your cleaning, or a heavier vacuum that offers a complete household cleaning, take some time to find out more about the Hoover windtunnel vacuum series. You will be glad you did!

Models And History Of A Windtunnel Vacuum

A Hoover windtunnel vacuum comes in several different models of canister vacuums and upright vacuums. There are four models of the canister Hoover windtunnel vacuum without a bag. They range in prices from approximately two-hundred dollars to a little over three-hundred dollars. All of them feature an ultra-quiet bagless canister with a HEPA allergen washable filter and a twenty-five foot cord with foot pedal rewind. They have various attachments and all offer a one year warranty. The Hoover windtunnel vacuum T-Series also comes in four models and are all an upright vacuum. They range in price from about one-hundred thirty dollars to about one-hundred sixty dollars. This series offers Hoover’s windtunnel technology (as does the canister series) that has air passages that trap dirt and take it into the dirt receptacle. By doing this, the vacuum minimizes dirt scattering onto the floor or into the air that will eventually fall back onto the floor or furniture. All the models are lightweight and clean deep with great suction. The uprights have a fold-down handle that make them easy to store. The upright series also offers a no scuff bumper that protects your furniture when you push a little too hard or are careless when vacuuming. It has a system check indicator that will alert you when the filter needs to be cleaned or checked. One of the upright models offers a pet hair turbo tool for maximum cleaning power.

The Hoover windtunnel vacuum series are some of their most recent models, but Hoover has been a household name for decades. In 1907, a janitor working in a department store came to the conclusion that the carpet sweeper he was using on the floors was causing him to cough. He took a fan motor, attached it to a soap box stapled to a broom handle and he used a pillowcase as a dust collector. And in this manner, a portable and electric vacuum was invented. A year later, the janitor received a patent for his invention and formed The Electric Suction Sweeper Company. His cousin bought one of the vacuums and she just happened to be married to William H Hoover, who bought the patent and made the janitor superintendent of The Hoover Company. William Hoover came up with the idea of door to door salesmen and before they knew it, there was a Hoover vacuum in nearly every home in America.

The Hoover windtunnel vacuum has consistently done very well in product reviews. They are known to work very well on carpets and have many useful features. Most are very good at picking up pet hair. One of the models, the U8311-900 has some excellent features but be aware that it is a bit heavy, especially if you will need to carry it up and down stairs. If you live all on one level, it should not present a problem. With so many different models from which to choose, you are sure to find a Hoover windtunnel vacuum that will meet all your needs!
