The Hoover story begins in 1907. Murray Spangler, an inventor who worked nights as a janitor, had an asthma problem. He called upon his inventor's creativity to find a solution to the dust that aggravated his asthma as he swept up at night. Spangler gathered a tin soap box, a fan, a sateen pillow case and a broom handle, and assembled an odd-looking, cumbersome contraption that managed to pull the dust away from the air he breathed. He quickly realized that this "suction sweeper," as he called it, had enormous sales potential, and he began seeking financial backing. W.H. "Boss" Hoover, owner of a leather goods manufacturing shop, bought the patent from Spangler in 1908, retained him as a partner, and soon had six employees assembling six units a day in a corner of the leather goods shop. Now that's a humble beginning.
The WindTunnel T-Series WindTunnel Bagless Upright is truly an amazing cleaning machine with ultimate cleaning power. At Only 15.7 pounds, it's light and easy to use with thorough cleaning power.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Marci Does not last long
Bought this in JULY OF 2006. Motor burned out in July of 2011. I would think that Hoover vacuums would last a lot longer than that. Will go with another brand. Very disappointed.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Mellie I miss my Dyson
I'm writing this review on the heels of pushing the Hoover around the house for 45 minutes which resulted in picking up absolutely nothing. When our 10 year old Dyson finally lost its suction, we decided to go with a Hoover to save some money. I was impressed with the Hoover for the first couple of months...great suction, easy to use, powerful attachment for cleaning furniture and stairs. Now it seems I have to completely take the thing apart to clean it out, unclog, etc before each use to get it to do a mediocre job. The detachable hose for cleaning furniture and stairs has become completely useless. We have one dog and are a clean family. The Hoover can't handle average dirt and grime. I'm going back to Dyson. At least I know I'll get 10 years out of it, not 6 months. Waste of money.

Rated 5 out of 5 by NecieM LOVE the vacuum... just one problem!
I've ALWAYS been a loyal Hoover user, & THIS model is the BEST by far! GREAT suction power, fantastic attachments, the quietest I've ever owned (I can easily hear the phone ringing!) & light-weight enough for stairs! But this one (purchased a month ago) is giving me a slight problem - the belt "slides" off of the shaft easily & quite often. Sure, it's easy to replace, just 6 screws, but it's becoming time consuming, having to stop & replace the belt 3 to 4 times per cleaning session. It looks to me that there's nothing to keep it from sliding off, like a "lip". Also, this is the first beater bar I've seen with a convex'd bar where the belt runs. Shouldn't it be slightly "concave"? Is something missing from MY unit?? Please help, for other than this factor, it's the BEST vacuum EVER... no matter the price/especially the price!!

Rated 2 out of 5 Very Disappointed
I have always bought Hoover brand vacuum cleaners. This one was by far the worst one I have owned. I was very disappointed when the belt broke for the first time on the second use. Then the belt broke again about a month later. Now it overheats and won't come back on for days even after cleaning the filter, checking for clogs, etc. I have only owned this machine since the end of August 2012.
