Customer Reviews of Hoover U5453-900 WindTunnel Supreme Upright Vacuum Cleaner
Customer Rating:   Summary: Already broken Comment: I have only had this vacuum a year, I'm not crazy about it. The attachments have to be used in conjuction with a tube with a flap on it, and the flap broke off, now if I want to use the attachments I have to block the hole with my hand or watch everything shoot back out. It also keeps tipping over on me. Othewise ok, Customer Rating: Summary: Still Going Comment: After reading the reviews, I had to issue my own. I purchased the Hoover Supreme Mach 3.3 Windtunnel in '96 or '97 and it is still going, however, just recently,the motor is making a loud noise just as I shut it off. I suppose it is finally dying. It has gone thru three remodeling projects over the years and only problems are belt replacements 3 or 4 times which I found no problem replacing myself as long as I have the right belt to replace it with. It does tend to tip unexpectedly and bags need to be replaced when only half full for best suction. After the brushes on the roller wore down, I had problems picking up fuzzes/strings ( I sew alot) from a tighly woven carpet - needed a lint roller! Instead of replacing the roller at $40.+ I'll put that toward next vac. Sounds like this may have been one of the better models Hoover has made over the years. Customer Rating: Summary: Very Good Vacuum W/ A Couple Dislikes Comment: This is a good vacuum for people with pets I have a dog, 2 cats, 2 hamsters that are very hard to clean up after the Hoover U5453-900 WindTunnel Supreme Upright Vacuum Cleaner does the job.The things that I don't like is that it clogs if you don't change the bag after about 6 days.And every time I suck a string the belt breaks.This is agood product but it EATS BELTS. Customer Rating: Summary: My first and last Hoover Comment: I've had my Orek since 1998 without any problems. I bought the Hoover Windtunnel (on the recommendation of my sister and sister-in-law) 2 years ago, and this is the third time it needs to be serviced. The first two times it was under warranty -- the first time was because the carpet-height tabs broke off (which I was then told happens frequently); and then because the vacuum wasn't picking up. Not sure how they fixed it -- it may have been a belt. Now the Embedded dirt light is not working -- it's staying on red/dirty. It may be a gimmick-type feature, but I'd prefer that it work. Maybe the Orek has lasted so long because there aren't so many features. In any case, it's dependable, easy to use and light weight. Customer Rating: Summary: My first and last Hoover Comment: I've had my Orek since 1998 without any problems. I bought the Hoover Windtunnel Ultra Self-Propelled (on the recommendation of my sister and sister-in-law) 2 years ago, and this is the third time it needs to be serviced. The first two times it was under warranty -- the first time was because the carpet-height tabs broke off (which I was then told happens frequently); and then because the vacuum wasn't picking up.

Maybe the Orek has lasted so long because there aren't so many features. In any case, it's dependable, easy to use and light weight. The Hoover Windtunnel is VERY heavy -- if you're not using the self-propelled feature. One thing I will say...when it works, it does seem to work well. More Reviews 
Choosing Appliance -> Knives The importance of high quality knives can't be stressed enough! Buy the best you can and expect to spend some serious money. It is better to buy a couple of excellent knives and slowly add to your collection rather than buying an entire set of low quality knives. Start with a chef knife and paring knife. You will also want to buy a sharpening steel. Choosing Appliance -> Shopping Dryer When shopping for a new clothes dryer, look for one with a moisture sensor that automatically shuts off the machine when your clothes are dry. Not only will this save energy, it will save wear and tear on your clothes caused by over-drying. Keep in mind that gas dryers are less expensive to operate than electric dryers. The cost of drying a typical load of laundry in an electric dryer is 30 to 40 cents compared to 15 to 25 cents in a gas dryer. Hoover U5453-900 WindTunnel Supreme Upright Vacuum Cleaner
Useful info -> Energy-Efficient Appliances When you're shopping for appliances, you can think of two price tags. The first one covers the purchase price - think of it as a down payment. The second price tag is the cost of operating the appliance during its lifetime. You'll be paying on that second price tag every month with your utility bill for the next 10 to 20 years, depending on the appliance. Refrigerators last an average of 20 years; room air conditioners and dishwashers, about 10 years each; clothes washers, about 14 years. |
