With the Hoover WindTunnel Multi-Cyclonic Bagles
I am extremely pleased. This is a great vacuum cleaner.,
I had no prior experience with canister vacuum cleaners, so I really didn’t know what to expect. I already own an almost new Hoover bagless upright vacuum cleaner for comparison. First of all, the Hoover canister vacuum cleaner has a really great high tech appearance and seems to be well designed and manufactured. The first downside I can see to a canister vacuum cleaner is there are a lot of parts to assemble and store every time you want to use it. I finally decided the best way to store it is to put it back into the original shipping box. So don’t throw it away. It makes it fairly easy and compact to store everything. The instruction manual is next to useless. The numbered items were incorrect or missing altogether. I hope somebody from Hoover reads this. It is embarrassing how little was written and how pathetic the mistakes are. So, you’ve just got to figure everything out by yourself. Thankfully it isn’t so difficult.
Now for the good part. With the long hose, you don’t have to use so much effort to vacuum the floor compared to an upright vacuum cleaner. The telescoping extension handle has a very novel ratcheting method to adjust the length. I am tall, so I extended it full length, but I think people who are not as tall will really like this feature. And it also helps with storage. The canister is on large diameter wheels and glides around effortlessly. And there is a button to press that self propels the vacuum head, which I’ve never seen before this. It makes an easy job even easier. I thought that was an especially neat feature. And it does have a very strong suction – contrary to what others may say. The vacuum head is thinner than my upright vacuum cleaner, but still it is a little too thick to get under my king bed. It works fine in the kitchen to get under the cabinet overhang. And you can use the crevice tool for the tight spaces. (I thought the crevice tool was missing, but it was hidden in the packing material. So look carefully for all the pieces before tossing the cardboard into the recycle bin.)
It has a very long retractable power cord, great for my open combination living room, dining room and breakfast area. I tried to use this canister vacuum cleaner for the stairs, but while it can be done, it isn’t all that practical. For stairs, I use the Eureka Hand-Held Vacuum, 71B. Also, I have two Roomba robotic vacuum cleaners, one for upstairs and one for down. I use them for light duty cleaning when I leave the house. But for serious cleaning, my Hoover Windtunnel MultiCyclonic Bagless Canister – SH40050 is definitely my vacuum cleaner of choice. I strongly prefer bagless vacuum cleaners. Dumping the container is very easy. And this vacuum cleaner includes a HEPA filter (High Efficiency Particle Arrestor) to keep residual dust from being recycled in the air. I believe this canister vacuum cleaner is quieter than my Hoover upright vacuum cleaner. The noise is quite acceptable and much better than other brands in my opinion. I strongly recommend this Hoover Canister Vacuum Cleaner.

|Great execution – but it’s not perfect,
QUICK SUMMARY: Lots of thoughtful design has gone into this well-appointed Hoover canister vacuum. But it’s not perfect.
Background: We’ve used an upright Hoover vacuum since we married (a long time). This is our first canister vacuum. It has a lot of thoughtful design packed into it, but in the end, I think most members of my family would rather still use an upright vacuum instead of a canister model. My whole family has had a chance to use this model, so here’s our feedback.
What We LIKE:
– Brush head can be turned off with a touch of a button
– Suction force can be varied by sliding a switch
– Retractable cord
– Cord is marked with a yellow band and a red band indicating when you are almost at the end of the cord and when you should no longer pull it out
– Bagless
– Self-propelled when the brush head is running
– Nice long cord
– Nice Long hose between head of vacuum and canister
– The handle on the vacuum can be extended 3 feet. Useful for accommodating short children or tall husbands, and for vacuuming ceiling fans, ceiling AC vents or chandeliers.
– Most pieces come apart easily and go together easily
– All the switches, buttons, tools are conveniently located at your fingertips
– The vacuum is quieter than my old one. Calvin will vacuum because the sound doesn’t hurt his ears.
– The swivel head is very light and easy to maneuver between chair legs
– Does a good job on pet (coarse dog) hair
– Has an edge clean
What We DISLIKE:
– The on button and the retract cord button located on the canister part of the vacuum are pressed with your foot, and are difficult to tell apart. The symbols are similar and are both completely black so are not easily seen. The on button lights up when the vacuum is on, but more than once I have started to retract the cord when I wanted to turn on the machine.
– It does not hold a lot of dirt. In our 6-people-with-a-dog house, we can do a room or two before having to empty the dirt bin.
– The top of the dirt bin pops open vigorously so you want to be sure you have positioned the dirt bin over the garbage can carefully or the dirt overshoots the edge of the can.
– Suction is only OK (but adequate). Our cheap Hoover upright vacuum had much better suction.
– The canister part of the vacuum which holds the motor and dirt bin does not move smoothly over carpet and is somewhat awkward to turn on any surface.
– It takes up more space for storage than an upright.
– Some of my kids really don’t like having the vacuum in two segments. Some prefer an upright — but then, some like the canister model instead. If you have a younger child who vacuums, this canister is easier to move around than a heavy upgright.
– Though most of the pieces come apart and go together easily, the vacuum handle is somewhat difficult to remove from the vacuum head. You have to press the foot pedal just right to get them uncoupled.
What Could Be BETTER:
– Only two tools – a brush and a crevice tool. Would be nicer to have more options for specialty situations.
Conclusion: Overall, a lot of thoughtful design tricks and good overall performance makes this a winner. Be wary, though, if you’ve always used an upright model and this will be your first canister model — not everyone in your family may like the switch. Recommended.

|It sucks. It’s supposed to.,
Anyone who watches television even occasionally has seen the ads for a vacuum featuring the inventor, who promises his premium bagless vacuum “won’t lose suction”. So it’s no surprise that Hoover, the company whose name is, in some places, synonymous with vacuum cleaning would develop a bagless canister promising “no loss of suction”, at a lower price.
Even while unpacking the vacuum, I was confident that assembly would be easy. The contents were even listed on the box flap, so I didn’t even have to find the instructions to ensure I had everything.. The “business” part of the vacuum was packed carefully, but I must admit that for a few minutes I thought they had omitted the crevice tool and dusting brush accessories, which were not securely packed and had fallen to the floor as I removed cardboard from the box. It was indeed so easy to put together that I didn’t need to read the printed instructions, which are included.
This vacuum has a number of features which I like:
The accessories snap on to the hose handle effectively and stay there until they are needed.
Fewer plug changes are required than with my previous vacuum as there is an extra-long cord
The canister and head roll very easily
The expandable tube allows dusting high up
The vacuum picked up items I shouldn’t have asked it to, such as shreds of paper towel, without complaint.
The dust cup is easily emptied, although I must observe that if you don’t have a full-size trash can you will need to empty it into a bag or onto newspaper.
And, most of all, the suction is excellent. It didn’t miss anything which was visible on the first pass.
A few caveats/negatives:
The big head doesn’t go everywhere. I haven’t investigated yet whether there is a smaller bare-floors head sold as an accessory, a head which I must observe was standard with my Electrolux.
This canister must remain in the lying-down position for storage, and it doesn’t appear there’s any functional reason why, with a slight flattening of the cord area, it couldn’t be designed to stand, which would make storage easier.
This canister is heavy, and so is the head, but rolls well, so if it is to be used on just one level this shouldn’t be a problem. This may be a consideration if you carry the vacuum up and down stairs.
Does it lose suction? Since it’s bagless, of course not!
