Customer Reviews of Hoover U5753980 WindTunnel Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner and Bonus Slider Rechargeable Broom
Customer Rating:   Summary: Expect to spend around $20/month to use this vacuum. Comment: Unsure why Hoover went with this design. My old Fantom used its 'cyclonic' technology to get most dirt and small particles. The HEPA filter was only used for residual dirt; of which there was virtually none. In other words, the technology employed by the vacuum meant that the HEPA filter would not clog for years. It took over 8 years or so before the HEPA filter needed to be replaced. That being said, this Hoover uses the HEPA filter as a primary filter. It has *great* suction when new, but by the time I had to empty the canister for the first time, the HEPA filter was clogged! Now there isn't enough suction to spin the 'turbo/pet brush.' Point is, the HEPA filter should have been used only for *very* small particles, not as a primary filter. Anyone who has used HEPA filters knows that once the filter is clogged, cleaning it does not make it like new again. To get back to the way the vacuum worked new and out of the box, it appears that you need to replace the HEPA filter each time the canister becomes full. I have found the filters for sale at $10-20 each (add shipping/tax,) not a bad price, but consider that you will need to buy one at least once a month; probably more often. Some people have said they use cans of compressed air, and other methods to clean the HEPA filter. Not good enough, and it will not suck like new until you replace the filter. The stick vac on the other hand works great! Only use on hard surfaces, it's not meant for anytype of carpet. Customer Rating: Summary: Great buy forr the money Comment: Great vaccuum cleaner! Picks up everything! A bit heavy but not a problem for me although might be for some, would give it 4 stars Customer Rating: Summary: Wife loves it - our 2nd one Comment: This is our 2nd vacuum of this model. Large capacity for dirt and pet hair (2 dogs, 3 cats), great power. She doesn't have to empty it all the time like other vacuums we've had. And the bagless is a real convenience - pain trying to find the right bags in our town, few stores in a small town. Our original one lasted about 10 years. Wear and tear, the belt drive finally gave out due to plastic parts wearing out. But, this vacuum lasted longer than other types/styles of vacuums we've owned in the past. The new one is definitely quieter than the old one (a sign of the drive wearing out?), but it does make noise. But hey, what do you expect when vacuuming? The wife was thrilled that I found one identical to the old one. And the Slider Broom was a nice bonus as part of the deal. Kind of like a Dustbuster with a handle. Not great for heavy stuff, but for a quick, light duty vacuum, it seems adequate. Thanks Amazon for a great price and quick delivery! Customer Rating: Summary: Good Vacuum Comment: Works good. More noisy than my previous Windtunnel. Suction power is superb. They have improved the design overall and placed the electrical cord attachment higher up on the vacuum. The bagless design is nice but is more messy than a bagged typed as you have to empty it more often. The hose length is adequate. Hoover has an extended length hose that can be purchased separately. Overall a decent vacuum for the money. The "Slider" also works pretty well. It does not do great if vacuuming up hair. It has good power and for hardwood floors or low pile carpets it should work fine for most small dirt on the floor. It is also easy to empty and has decent suction power. Have not tried it with heavier dirt types like maybe spilled potting soil, etc... Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent for dog hair Comment: This Hoover vacuum cleaner works great! It cleans well, has a good "sucking" power and picks up a lot of dog hair that my old vacuum cleaner could not get. It works well on hard floors, too. The price is right and the performance is excellent. More Reviews 
Choosing Appliance -> Spatulas Buy a sturdy stainless spatula for general uses and a Teflon spatula for your non-stick pan. In addition, buy a silicon baking spatula for scraping bowls. Silicon is an amazing substance which is heat resistant up to 550 degrees. Choosing Appliance -> Ladles Look for ladles that are made of one piece of stainless steel rather than a handle and dome which are spot welded together. With use, spot welded ladles tend to come apart. Buy several differnet sizes. Hoover U5753980 WindTunnel Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner and Bonus Slider Rechargeable Broom
Useful info -> Food Waste Disposers Installing a food waste disposer is an ideal way to let you spend more time doing the things you want to do around the home and less time worrying about what to do with your messy unwanted food waste. With putrescible waste (kitchen food scraps) accounting for 25% of household waste, using a food waste disposer not only means fewer trips to the wheelie bin but also results in a substantial reduction of waste going to landfill. |
