I wanted a canister vacuum and chose this one for the reviews and price. It's a bit larger and clunkier than I had visualized, but it has a good vacuum power. The big carpet head only has one level and the headlight shines up in the trees instead of the carpet, but we have mostly hardwood floors and a pug that sheds a ton. It works very well for dog hair on the floors and furniture, but I would really rather have a housekeeper do this stuff. I'm lazy.

I have had this vacuum for just over a year. The idea is good. The motor and suction are good. The design is good. HOWEVER, it is on it's way to falling apart. Gee, they just don't make plastic like they used to.

I just returned from the vacuum repair shop where I had taken my broken 3 year old Hoover WindTunnel. The quote to fix it was more than I paid for it. The repairman said they broke like crazy, and showed me two other broken ones that had just come in. Meanwhile, another customer walks into the shop with another broken Hoover WindTunnel. Hers had a broken beater attachment. Mine had a broken control unit. I gave her mine to cannibalize for parts. Walking her to her car, she said hers had already broken once before. This vacuum was great out of the box, but realize you're buying something that's going to break on you very soon. My old Hoover lasted me 20 years. The lady I gave my broken WindTunnel to said her prior Hoover lasted her a long time too. No more Hoovers for me.
