Hoover WindTunnel Bagless Canister Vacuum, S3755 4.3 5 254 290
Excellent buy Our family own a House Cleaning business and before we decided which vacuum we would choose to work with we tried many other brands, from GE to the "so talked about" Dyson.None of them was as good as the Hoover.It is really powerfull and you would not believe the amount of dust and dirt it sucks from the carpets and floors.The very first one we bought almost 2 years ago is just about to die. But don't forget: It has been used to clean 4 to 5 homes every single day ever since it was bought.Tips and things to consider:- The S3755 model does not come with the power hand tool, which is really nice to clean upholsterd furniture and pet hair, and also it does not have a bare floor tool needed for the wood floors. In the other hand it does have a finger tip control which we found out to be very usefull. The retracting cord reel did not last too long. Within about 3 months of regular use it started to show signs of weakness and we ended up having to feed the cord manually. Again, consider this is not a commercial grade vacuum and IS NOT INTENDED for such use, so I would think this would probably not happen under normal conditions and use.- The S3765 is a newer model and comes all complete with the power hand tool and the bare foot floor device, but the on/off controls in the handle are not as nice as in the older model and are much more fragile and susceptible to breakage if you use it often. Also the retracting cord reel in the newer model seems to be stronger.- The power hand tool is very fragile and breaks easily. We had to replace ours in both models a couple of times.- You can order parts for this vacuum online, like device tools, belts and extra filters. We did order a couple of filters from the Hoover website but later we found out that a generic brand we found at another store (four times cheaper than the original one) works just as fine.We are very happy with the performance of this vacuum and we are planning to buy our third one soon.The only negative I see is the price.We bought our first S3755 at Walmart almost 2 years ago for $157,00 and the second one, a S3765 was bought at COSTCO about 16 months ago for $189,00.The current price of $215,00 is really not what I was expecting to pay but is definitelly worth it.I would strongly recommend anyone to buy this vaccum. It is a tremendous value and a great buy!! 09/07/2009
good product Terrific suction and very portable. Good news/bad news -- we had a lot more dirt around than I expected! I particularly like all the controls located on the handle grip. A bit short on attachments -- only a crevice tool and a small fixed head. Somewhat awkward to use on stairs unless you carry it along. 10/29/2007
Terrific Vacuum I looked up this vac on Consumer Reports before buying. It was one of the top rated vacs in its price range and Walmart has the best price. It does an amazing job on both carpets and bare floors. It took up so much dirt from the throw rug I think it was pulling up dirt from under the house. It is very easy to use and the hepa filter is washable in the kitchen sink. I absolutely love it. 07/13/2007
Hoover WindTunnel I loved this vacuum when we first got it, it's light weight, has good suctiion..but the parts are plastic and it needs service after 9 months of use :(Hoover used to make great vacuums.. would I buy this again YES..for the price it works good, I just wish that Hoover would make the parts more sterdy.Ps >> The local vacuum comapany said that Dyson are always in his shop and not to buy one......worse than Hoover and more expensive. 09/25/2009
