- I liked from the first moment I opened the box. Yes, it a little bit heavier than I expected, but doing a great job. It clean everywhere car, stairs, under bed. That's the best vacuum cleaner I ever had.
- best functioning vacuum cleaner
- i recently purchased a Hoover U8371-900 Windtunnel 2 Complete Bagless Upright & I am so impressed with it's performance & versatility. I had no problem assembling the vacuum cleaner. it feels a little heavy but so far hasn't been a problem for me b/c it has a convenient handle for carrying the vacuum upstairs. I can't believe the suction this vacuum has. it picks up so much more than my previous vacuums & it's so easy to empty out the bagless container. the self-cleaning filter so far has worked with no problems. the tools that come with this vacuum work very well. i am able to vacuum my stairs with the extension hose & the pet hair attachment works well at picking up my dog's hair off of the sofa. overall completely satisfied with this product. kind of embarrassed at how much dirt this vacuum picked up the first time i used it. couldn't believe i had so much in my carpets!
- Bought this Vaccum to Replace a Hoover WindTunnel V2 with the two Counter-rotating Brushes. It Died after one too many incidents w/rug Fringe. It was also VERY hard to push.. Everything on this Vaccum works as designed after 3 months of use 2-3 times a week. The noise the HEPA filter makes is a little diffrent and takes some getting used to. Switching from Tile to Carpet is very easy with the Electric Height Adjustment Knob. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is because I would like it to be easy to take out and thoroughly clean or replace the HEPA Filter.
- I don't normally write reviews for products, but after reading the reviews posted for this vacuum - I decided that I had to let other consumers know that this vacuum cleaner is awesome. It reached every corner, I didn't have to go over the same spot twice - it even sucked up those irritating threads that used to get me so frustrated that I would pick them up! I couldn't believe my eyes after I finished vacuuming - my carpets had a completely different shine and the colors were brighter. The control for the carpet height and hard wood floors was easy to use and it made switching from my hard wood floors to carpet a cinch. I don't know what the other reviewers were trying to vacuum out of their carpets but I am pretty sure that they might want to switch over to an industrial vacuum or a shop vac (or at least vacuum a little more than once every couple of months)

- If your living environment is in the country with exposure to dirt, mud, animal hair & normal household dirt or dust, this vacuum is not for you! This machine is poorly designed & does not perform as advertised. Suction is so great it pulls dirt, debris & hair up through the collar cone filter & directly into the sealed HEPA chamber. Once the chamber plugs full of debris, the vacuum looses all suction & ability to clean. There are only two options for cleaning the chamber, once obstructed - take it to an authorized shop or dismantel the machine yourself. No one wants a vacuum that must be 'repaired' after minimal use, or one that must be repaired after every use. It clogged up before I could complete two rooms & although the initial obstruction was cleared, the unit now plugs up before finishing one room. Hoover appears to have no desire to fix the design flaw or make it right with anyone who foolishly spent money buying this product - Hoover will not accept a return, or provide an exchange to another vacuum in their product line. A word of advice I received from the authorized service shop that repaired (cleaned) the vacuum - this type of problem seems common with Hoover bagless models, especially the new windtunnel 2; don't buy anything but a bagged Hoover product.
- We bought this vaccuum instead of a Dyson because it was cheaper and seemed to have all the same stuff. Not the case!!! Needless to say after about two months we went out and bought a Dyson. Great improvement!!! The hepa filter clogged after about the second time we used it and you cannot replace them. No comment from Hoover when we e-mailed them about this awful machine!!! We would rate this less than 1 if there was an option to do that.
- Effectively Distributes Dust Throughout Your Home!
- Hoover's attempt to make this vacuum bagless is a complete failure. The most glaring problem involves the seal between the collection chamber and the outside world -- fine dust particles are easily able to escape and are blown back into the room being cleaned, as well as onto the surfaces of of the vacuum cleaner.
This effect was most apparent when I used the hose attachments to vacuum a hardwood floor. The "puddle" of dust that covered my floor was unbelievable; too bad Amazon doesn't allow photos, because they speak volumes.
The design of the chamber makes it difficult to empty without creating a complete mess. Furthermore, you routinely need to reach inside to pull out dust collected on the screen. Your hand comes out every time covered in fine gray dust. Yuck.
And I don't have allergies, but I sneezed every time I used this vacuum.
On the bright side, the WindTunnel 2 is powerful (before the filter clogs with dust) and the roller brush does a good job of returning the pile to the carpet.
Thankfully I was able to trade it in; I now have the same model with bag and it works a thousand times better. No more dust in the room. The HEPA bags are far superior to the bagless design. And the vacuum is noticeably lighter than the bagless version.
- The quality of this product is so low that I can't believe it is being sold in the United States during my lifetime.
First, it works GREAT until it starts getting into some dirt, hair, etc. (about one or two house cleanings) then the "self cleaning hepa filter" will stop turning. If you didn't notice it turning the first time you used it - you might not even realize that when it stops - the vacuum works less well everytime you use it until it stops working completely!
It's the worst vacuum I've ever used and I've used many! I rarely write a review on here but I can't stand the thought of another human being having to endure the pain (mental and emotional) that this goofy vacuum has caused me and my wife. This was an expensive vacuum for us and a lousy puchase.
Like many of the other people who have written reviews - I'll never buy a Hoover again!
Run from this vacuum (not even worth $25)! Don't fall for this one at any price - it will only cause you pain.
- Buyer Beware! It's a Lemon!
- I wish I had read the reviews before purchasing. I just saw them when I tried to see if anyone else had the same problems with theirs--and it seems they all suffer from the same issues.
This is my second Hoover. The first one I bought from a major electronics/appliance store and my husband bought the extended warranty. I had to take it in for repairs because the "dirt finder" light stopped working. I had to wait 8 weeks for them to fix and return it. When I got home, I plugged it in, and it still didn't work. We took it back and waited another 8 weeks for them to ship it to Hoover for repairs. Got it back, took it home, and -- you guessed it. It still didn't work. I took it back to the store and they sent it out for repair for the 3rd time. 8 weeks later, I got a call from the store that Hoover was unable to fix the unit and I could come in for a refund. It took them 24 weeks to tell me they couldn't fix it. It was a lemon.
So we went to the store and used my refund to buy the Hoover WindTunnel 2. The hepa filter turned for about the first week and then stopped working. Every time you go to empty the container, the dirt gets backed up against the hepa filter, so when you unlock the unit, dirt spills out all over your floor. So I have to sweep up every time I vacuum.
I cleaned out the Hepa filter myself (took over an hour) and then tried to see if that would help and it just won't turn and just got all clogged up again after a minute of use.
The vacuum is also very heavy and hard to push. My mom was thinking of getting one and after I insisted she try to push it around, she agreed it was much too heavy for her to use.
Another issue I had with the unit is that you are supposed to push a latch to release the bottom of the canister for easy dumping of the dirt. Mine no longer works, so I have to lift the top off the unit and pour the dirt out which causes a huge dust cloud. I have allergies, so whenever I vacuum or empty the unit I have to use a dust mask due to the large amount of dust that the vacuum releases into the air.
So this week, after 6 months of living in denial that it might start working, I will return to the store and start another 24 week ordeal of shipping the lemon back and forth to Hoover for them to tell me that it is unrepairable. I can guarantee you that I will not use my refund to buy another Hoover.
Don't make the same mistake I did.
- Don't buy. Just spent 2 hours trying to find the plugs. Sure enough it is the non-serviceable Hepa "so called" self cleaning filter. Appears the gear box that drives the HEPA filter sheared. Now clear but won't turn and "Self clean". I'm an engineer, and the engineer who designed this should be ashamed. DONT BUY A HOOVER. This was the second problem - first was the circuit board. Shop had seen a lot of that problem too. Couldn't keep the parts in stock!!!!!
- I bought this vacuum in January and had all the same problems as the other reviewers. I wish I had seen their reviews before I bought it. I will not bother to repeat what the others wrote about the clogged filter, etc. I do not recommend this vacuum nor do I recommend Hoover since I contacted them to get a refund or an exchange to a bagged vacuum and they were completely useless.
- have owned this model for about 2 months and it is the first vacuum cleaner that I have ever had, that I have to vacuum each time we use it! The HEPA filter exit chute started clogging from day one and eventually the filter stopped rotating. We also had an earlier self propelled model U6630-900 that worked well, although the accessory hose stopped working some time ago. This is the last Hoover we'll ever buy...
- P****d off I wasted $300!
- There isn't much more I can say that hasn't already been stress.Other than SELF CLEANING HEPA FILTER, yeah and the Titanic was unsinkable too! I wouldn't even give it the honor of 1 star if the review didn't make me.
- The first one I received was returned and a new one received because they said the main circuit board went bad after just using it about 5 times. We have had nothing but trouble with the second one. The dust and dirt spills out of the container when we go to empty it. The filter is always plugged up. This causes no suction in the vacuum which means I have to empty it and get all the dust and dirt on the floor again. The dirty red light was on all the time. I have a turbo Hoover self propelled vacuum for 4 years or more and just love it. I thought the Good HouseKeeping magazine would stir me right and the new technology would help me have a cleaner house. I have astma and lung cancer. Also it is not self propelled.

- HOW TO FIX THE FILTER THAT STOPS SPINNING!!
- This vacuum has a good cleaning system when it works. It seems the problem that I've had along with the problem most other people have is the filter stops spinning and gets clogged. This means the vacuum won't pick up anything and the hose won't work.
I took the vacuum apart today and figured out how to fix it.
1. Take all the screws out of the top part of the vacuum to pull the white and orange( or other color i guess on different models).
2. Clean out all the gunk in the filter and around it with a flathead screwdriver. It helps to have another vacuum to suck up the the gunk from the filter if you have another vacuum.
3. On the right side of the filter is the motor to spin the filter. It should still work. The reason the filter stops spinning in the first place is that gunk gets built up on the sides of the filter creating too much friction and it breaks a piece connecting the motor to the filter. Take the outer part of the motor enclosure off. There seems to be screws holding it in place but its just one latch. You only need to pry it open enough to get the big white gear out. This gear connects to the filter. Once you get it out, if you look closely at it, you see that what used to be a rectangular shape has turned into a circular one. Fill this hole up half way with some super glue ( I used gorilla glue) and put it back in place.
4.Put the vacuum back together and wait a few hours.
Hope this helps. It worked for me.
