Perfect for deep cleaning without excessive strain, the self-propelled Hoover WindTunnel Ultra upright takes charge of its own locomotion both coming and going. In addition, Hoover's WindTunnel technology creates a powerful double air path for maximum suction and cleaning. The vacuum even provides feedback on cleaning progress with the Embedded Dirt Finder--a feature that scans the floor for debris, signaling you if there's still dirt to be picked up. You can operate the Dirt Finder on a regular setting for your routine cleaning or on a high setting for your deep-cleaning sprees. The WindTunnel Ultra is designed for both bare floors and carpets, with a 15-inch cleaning path and three adjustable nozzle heights to accommodate variation in carpet depth. Dirt collection is bagged using Hoover's Microfiltration system, and a helpful indicator signal keeps you posted on the bag's status. A HEPA filter assists the bag, trapping 100 percent of dust mites and 99.98 percent of ragweed and common grass pollens. The vacuum comes handsomely equipped for attachment cleaning with a stretch hose, two extension wands, a crevice tool, an upholstery tool, and a dusting brush all on board. (The Dirt Finder does not work with the attachments.) The most rigorous attachment is a powered hand tool with its own rotating brushroll--great for carpeted stairs and durable upholstery. Other useful elements include quick-release cord hooks, a carrying handle, a headlight, and a view window over the brush roll. Hoover covers the machine with a one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard

My favorite Hoover did it again this time. This time I gave it a 2 star for lasting for one whole year. Good Job Hoover!!! Never buying it again.
Disappointed in CR's 'glowing review' November 3, 2008
Jason Ransom
I'm really disappointed in this vac. I, too like many other reviewers purchased this two years ago based on CR's great review. Pfft. For the past few months the on/off switch hasn't worked, requiring me to plug/unplug the unit to turn it off and on. I decided I could live with that until the knob to change from carpet to hard surface quit moving. My vac is now making a squealing noise when pushed and the roller won't roll without pushing it. As another reviewer mentioned...the vac falls over when you try to clean stairs. I've had the goofy thing fall on me more than once. My DH thought we could see if my father-in-law could fix it (the man can fix anything) but I said forget it..how much is your dad's time worth? I've purchased a Dyson DC07 based on my good friend's recommendation. Hopefully I have better luck. Boo to this vac.
 Lasted for 4+ years September 5, 2008
I paid around $350 for the vacuum about 4-5 years ago. Currently it is sitting at a repair store and will mostly likely be dumped. It, until the past month, always worked very well. I have long hair and also have 2 cats and vacuum 2x's + per week. It always did the job. (NOTE - I would flip the vacuum over, unscrew the face plate and remove my hair and string from the roller brush. You need to do this with any vacuum.) Now my vacuum 1) doesn't seem to be picking up, 2) the self propelled piece broke a long time ago, and 3) it doesn't work on this really thick carpeting in my new house. It was great on Berber. My biggest complaint about this vacuum is the stupid on board tools. They always fall off when vacuuming. This is so annoying. The other thing is the "dirt light". It's BS. Don't be fooled by it. I'm here on Amazon.com to compare and purchase a new vacuum. I'm down to two: Hoover U5140-900 Tempo Widepath Bagged Upright Vacuum (with the same annoying on board attachments) and Miele Capricorn S5980 With Deluxe Power Brush (Luna Silver), MVS5980 SEB 236 (I'm getting tired of replacing vacuums). I now have 3 cats and a baby, so I need a vacuum that eats hair on the first pass. In summary - I would NOT recommend this vacuum. For $60 buy the Hoover U5140-900 Tempo Widepath Bagged Upright Vacuum (with annoying on board tools that fall off). This machine is rated super high by onver 900+ users. And it's $60!
 Keep your orginal packaging August 30, 2008

Brush roller would not work right out of the box, but I had thrown away all the original packaging so I had to take it to a local repair shop which added 50 dollars to the purchase price. Works fine now.
 Great Vacuum Cleaner !!!! August 17, 2008

I recently purchased the Hoover U6439-900 Self-Propelled Wind Tunnel Ultra Upright Vacuum Cleaner. It was delivered when I wasn't at home and my husband decided to try it out. When I came home I thought the rugs had been professionally cleaned.
It is a bit heavier than my last Hoover but the self-propelled feature helps greatly. The price was even lower than at a store in my area.
I am completely satisfied with the purchase. I would recommend the purchase of this Vacuum to everyone.
