| About - Hoover WindTunnel Pet Cyclonic UH70085 |
|---|
| This 23-pound Hoover bagless upright has an indicator to show you when the dustbin needs to be emptied and an easy-to-reach power switch. It also features HEPA filtration, designed to block fine particle emissions, which can be especially beneficial for people with respiratory problems. However, some vacuum cleaners without HEPA also do well at protecting air quality. The Hoover WindTunnel Pet Cyclonic UH70085 has a brush on/off switch, so you can stop the rotating brush on uncarpeted floors, where it tends to scatter dirt before it can be suctioned. The 27-foot,cord retracts automatically. This machine features manual pile adjustment, so you can raise and lower the machine to match your carpet's pile height. It does not have suction control for cleaning curtains and upholstery. As the name suggests, the model is meant to appeal to dog and cat owners. |

In need to second repair in 9 months!

Comment:
I have a 1400 square foot house of wood floors and a bit of carpet, and a husband, dog, and cat. This is marketed as a pet vacuum, and I believe my household falls within its market. Within 3 months of purchase, the unit needed a belt replaced. The repairman told me this was one of the worst types out there. I replaced the belt and hoped for the best and now, 6 months later, it is again non-functional. I am hesitant to go with Consumer Reports high ranking of Hoover, and am looking to replace this waste of money and time with a brand that actually works. Highly disappointed, and frustrated to have wasted my money...

Comment:
The canister flip-lid was the first to go. The latch did not hold in the first week we had it and the dirt fell out. The store replaced the canister for us. In the past month, the brush stopped spinning. We looked for a belt at the store we purchased it from - they didn't have any. We went on-line to the Hoover site...none available. Today, I packed it up, took it back to the store, and got a in-store credit. We are very disappointed with this vacuum. We expected a lot better from Hoover. Our old WindTunnel is replacing it. [...]

Comment:
The suction died in 3 months. I suspected the dust was clogged somewhere along the horse, but everything, including the filter, was clean.Horse fell off from the original position and it limits the suction power. It is heavy, and partly because of the heaviness I have hard time moving around with it.It overheats easy...it overheats and shuts down at least once before I finish cleaning my one bedroom apartment.You can tell there are air leaking out from multiple parts.Suction is so bad that it fails to pick up a piece of cornflake off the floor.
