Cyclonic Hoover: of retractable cords and unopening doors
The UH70600 upright vacuum creates some serious force that almost carries it to a 5-star rating.
I'll start by simply stating that I really like this vacuum. Everything about the unit is well laid-out, with useful attachments and perks everywhere. I only had one issue with the unit, but I'll get to that later. First, the vacuum does its job well. I've had a series of sub-hundred dollar vacuums, both bag and bagless for my whole life. I used my usual vacuum for a thorough cleaning of my house 2 days before I received the Hoover UH70600. Once I received the Hoover, I fired it up and vacuumed the whole house again. I don't have any pets or extraneous sources of dust, but after using my usual vacuum just 48 hours ago the Hoover sucked up an amazing 66% full canister of dirt and dust. I was shocked that the UH70600 picked up so much more dirt than my old vacuum did (and kinda grossed out at my old vacuum's weak performance). So if you're using a sub-hundred dollar...
Love this vacuum!
The last year or so we've been using a much smaller Hoover Flair bagless vacuum, which was adequate for our apartment but never exactly pleasing. The trouble was that for a long while I got used to using a Dyson DC15 animal, the top of the line version from a few years ago. I moved away from that vacuum when I got married, and so know what's possible.
The Hoover Windtunnel isn't quite as nice as that Dyson. I miss the ball rolling convenience, and it's in general, a more heavy duty product. But it's also quite a bit more expensive.
This Hoover makes a great substitute for a significantly less amount of money, while even adding some extra conveniences.
The suction is great. No problem picking up everything from hair, to spilled gravel, to bird seed spilled on the patio, to... you name it. It gets the job done.
The attachments fit nicely and are quite easy to use. It has a longer reach than the Dyson once everything is attached. It...
Included: The Fun Factor
This is our first cyclonic vacuum, just thought it would be nice not having to buy bags anymore and try this technology. Watching it collect the dirt and dust off carpeting offers a bit of fun factor while cleaning the house. I feel like I want to continue running this thing just to see how much I can capture. Probably should be a bit embarrassing!
I did see the Consumer Reports review on vacuum cleaners and this is one of their top rated models, even though there are many brands that do an excellent job this one had features that appealed to me, like the self rewinding cord and being able to turn the brush off. The price was also something that made it appealing, paying $500 or more for a unit that does no more just didn't make sense.
I have noticed in several reviews that a burnt smell was a problem. I think this is caused by not adjusting the brush to the correct height before initial use. I had it set way to low for our carpet and did notice a slight...
