 I like it October 18, 2008
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.
HOW TO FIX THE FILTER THAT STOPS SPINNING!! May 31, 2008
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.

 Horrible Investment April 13, 2008
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.
 So Far No Problems April 10, 2008
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.
Effectively Distributes Dust Throughout Your Home! March 13, 2008
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.
