I have owned plenty of vacuums in my life and only a FEW have actually made me happy. I am a HUGE Hoover fan, so when I received the Hoover WindTunnel® Air™ Bagless Upright Vacuum to review, I was so hoping it would live up to the Hoover name!

It came in a big box and most of it was already put together, which was very nice. All I had to put together was the handle and snap the hose on the side. So it basically took me about 5 minutes or less to have fully assembled.

Of course I had to use it right away, I had rooms to clean!! Whoosh! I started with my living room and the suction on this machine is awesome! It pulled at my carpet and sucked up all the little debris in there. After I vacuumed, my carpet actually looked fluffy! Loved this! The vacuum is also extremely light weight and easy to maneuver, BUT since the suction is so much, the vacuum can be a bit hard to push around at times. The cord is a good length and I only had to plug it in twice, in different outlets, to get my whole house vacuumed and cleaned.

Right after vacuuming, I needed to clean out the canister though, as the canister is a bit small, but then again this is a tiny vacuum, so that is to be expected. I LOVE bagless vacuums and will NEVER go back to the dumb bag ones, ever. I like that this vacuum will lie down to get under furniture so that I don’t have to move around furniture and break my back. It does not completely get underneath things, but it does a good enough job for me.

The handle on this vacuum is adjustable, so that is nice. I can have it higher or lower, depending on how my back feels that day and my hubby, who is a bit taller than me, likes it up a bit more than me, so he can adjust it accordingly. I also like how all the buttons to this machine is on the base of the handle, that way I don’t have to fish around for all the buttons. It also has a button you can push to turn on or off the brush, so if you wanted to clean your hard floors, go for it!!! Works great on my wood floors!

The ONLY thing I disliked about this vacuum is the hose part. It was quite confusing to me. I got very frustrated the first time I tried to use this hose, so I had to put it away! Then, a sweet blogger friend who was reviewing the same vacuum showed me a tutorial of pictures and then I “got it“! I also failed to look at the side of the box, which also shows how the hose is to be used, and when I did look at the box, it was a total “duh” moment for me! Ugh. Now the hose and me are friends…
This is a great vacuum if you are in search of a good one with great suction and is smaller (think dorms or small apartments too!). It is also pretty affordable at only $179.99.

This sounds like a perfect vacuum. Love your review
Great review! I love how lightweight it is and the suction power! We haven’t had any difficulties on our rugs so that is good news. We also love the adjustable handle. Being 5’9″ and hubby 6’5″ it is awesome!! I highly recommend this to others:)

What a great review Kim. I am loving the review. I was confused also on the hose, so got out the instruction manual to figure it out. After that, I was like…oh, that makes sense! I love the lightness of it…perfect!
I’m happy to see this review. My Mom desperately needs a bagless vacuum (cat hair) and I’ve been looking for one light enough for her to use with her heart condition. Not sure this will be the right one if it was slightly hard for you to push, but glad to keep it in mind. Thanks!
Looks like a decent vacuum! I would love for my carpet to be fluffy again.

well its about time a get a new one,mine has taken a beating!
I love to know that it is ACTUALLY lightweight, sometimes I never know if I should believe when a company says that.
I just love emptying out the canister. I don’t know what it is but I feel so accomplished seeing everything my vacuum has picked up!

That would be great to keep upstairs to avoid having to carry the big one up and down the stairs!
Can’t go wrong with a hoover — we had one for years and it still is going strong!!!
Sounds good. I have dogs and cats so I have to vacuum all the time.
I’ve never had a bagless vacuum, but I HATE when I run out of bags so I can totally see the perks of it. This looks like a good one, and since it’s small it might be nice for college kids too.

Woah! I am so impressed by the fact it is bagless and so affordable!
Great review and I love Hoovers! They are the best and this would be great for all our cat hair!
We need a new vacuum and the only reason I haven’t broken down and bought one is because I want one that works just as well on the hardwood floors as it does on the carpet! I am going to look into this one now (I have also always been a Hoover Fan!) thanks to your great review!
It is always nice when you can turn the brushes on and off for hardwood/tile/ etc – and personally I think Hoovers hoses have always been a tad confusing the way they are wrapped around.
Nice review though and I always like how you tell the pros and the cons to products you try out!
This sounds like a great vac, I need great suction for pet hair!
We have always loved hoover and now that most vacuums are bagless this is even better. Thanks for the review. I am glad people also have probs figuring out how to use the hose!
Me too!
This sounds like a great machine–slim, lighter weight, yet strong.
Great review — sounds like the perfect size and weight for me. I like the way it looks, too.

I too am a Hoover vacuum fan. I have had mine going on 29 years and it still works. You can bet my next vacuum will be a hoover. I would love to have this vaccum. It sounds so nice.
Great review. I like the slim design and that the buttons are on the handle
This looks like a great vacuum and boy do I need a new one!!
I like that it only took you 5 minutes to put together!
This vacuum looks awesome. I bet this is great for picking up pet hair which we have a zoo going on over here with 3 dogs and 4 cats. with my vac I have to go over a spot several times befor it pics everything up and its frustrating
I love that this is bagless, and light and easy to use!
I recently bought a Hoover Windtunnel Rewind and LOVE IT! No bag and very easy to use.
I am also picky about vacuums and have found very few that have done the job to my liking. I really want to try this one- your description of the carpet looking “fluffy” struck me, because that is exactly what is missing from a lot of vacuums!
I love bagless vacuums!
