Hoover WindTunnel 3 Max Performance Pet, Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner, HEPA Media Filtration, For Carpet and Hard Floor, UH72625, Red

So, the FIRST Hoover Windtunnel 3 Max Performance Pet vac arrived with a defect where the canister did NOT seal up to the line with the rubber grommet… after checking Reddit real quick others have complained of the same issue. It doesn’t allow for ANY SUCTION at all since its a open gap of air.

Amazon quickly sent out a replacement.

The replacement arrived and had no issues at the time.

With that said:
July 21st, 1st Vacuum ordered
July 23rd, 1st Vacuum arrived, defective and immediately contacted Amazon
July 23rd, Replacement was ordered.
July 25th Replacement arrived.
July 31st, Vacuum power cord failed.

This Vacuum Cord slipped out of the underneath of the vacuum rendering it useless while vacuuming. Its important to note that the cord itself was NOT stretched or at its limit… there was slack, it just slid right out of the lower portion of the machine itself and it (obviously) powered down.

Also note there is some wierd plastic ring inside the canister that stores what you vacuum up, every time you emptied the canister, the ring would fall out, there was NO WAY to ever get it to lock in place and also appeared to be useless, the last two times we tried using the vacuum, we didn’t even bother with the ring and it didn’t even matter.

Hoover is just simply JUNK now a days.

Because this is the second return, Amazon’s return policy is not as seemless as the first time so we are looking at a good 3 days before the actual refund arrives and THEN order a new vacuum AGAIN.

NO MORE HOOVER PRODUCTS ANYMORE.

FYI we never even got to use the 3yr protection plan we bought and that refund is handled separately and slower.

I was looking for ever for a vacuum. everyone suggested a Dyson, and unless it vacuums itself I wasn’t paying that price. found this on prime day for a great deal and its one of the best vacuums ive ever had. a little heavy to lug up the stairs, maybe I just have zero upper body strength.

Si que el contenedor tiene solamente un pequeño ganchillo para sostenerse, sin embargo eso tiene solución haciendo presión hacia dentro y listo. Que se me apago la primera vez que la use SI, eso pasó sin embargó la seguiré usando para entrar en garantía. Y por último creo que le hacen falta más herramientas para limpiar, como otros modelos de Hoover los trae. Excelente succión pero el sonido es fuerte, a eso yo no le veo problema.

Hoover wind tunnel 3, Max Pet has most all of the features I wanted in an upright vacuum. The most important features were: one that would fluff up the carpet, and was heavy enough it would stay in place when using the hose. A bagless that was easy to take apart and put back together. And a big enough dust bin that I didn’t have to empty it after vacuuming every room. This one has 12 amps that gives it plenty of power and the suction doesn’t diminish as the dirt tank fills up. It’s got a pedal to turn off the roller/beater bar, so it will vacuum hard floors without spitting dust around the floor. I wanted to mention that it DIDN’T suck itself to the floor like a couple of reviews says it does. There is a dial to adjust the height. The 30 ft cord is the longest cord I’ve ever had on a vacuum. It’s bagless with a large bin. 1.5 liter. Not the biggest bin Hoover makes. But the biggest one I could find with the roller/beater bar control pedal. We have 2 hairy dogs, I vacuumed 4 large rooms and still had room for more dirt. It’s fairly easy to push, for what it is. It’s a monster vacuum weighing 18lbs. Great news, it rolls easier than I expected it would. Again, it has adjustable height, so when it seemed hard to push, I raised it up one notch. There’s a 15’ hose. With an extendable wand that disappointingly isn’t quite long enough to use on the floor without bending over. But, I’m using a longer wand from another vacuum. So, It’s not a deal breaker for me. The clear plastic does show all the dirt though. Someone like me, going from a bagged version to a bagless version might not be used to seeing all the dirt and dog hair flying around. Although it was something we were all watching at first. Theres no bags to buy but the trade off is washing the dust bin. It’s got a hepa and charcoal filter, that cannot be washed, but they don’t need replaced very often according to the directions. And it’s got a washable dirt filter that’s a flat sponge like thing. So it will be easy to wash, but It wasn’t dirty at all, so I didn’t have to wash it this time. The reviews said it was too loud? It sounds normal to me. Yes, it’s noisy, but not as loud as I thought it was going to be. The reviews said it’s hard to push the release pedal. But this one is so easy I was using it barefoot. The reviews said it was hard to take apart. But this is the easiest vacuum to take apart. A couple of reviews said they received s different model, so I double checked on the box before opening. I received exactly what I ordered. I believe the reviews must have been for a different vacuum even though they were shown under this model.

We had a Hoover Bagless before, pictures are attached. The cord was sucked inside the vacuum cleaner, making it a little bit easier and out of the way. This newer model does not have that feature- you have to roll the cord around the back of the vacuum. It does suck very good, I do not have any pets at home but appreciate the performance of this one. It does leave the good cleaning markings in my carpet. My other Hoover lasted a long time! This review is been written almost a whole entire year of usage so take that into consideration. Also I have not been paid for this review. I wish some of the attachments would be a bit easier to attach to the vacuum and out, it seems like a little bit frustrating at times, and I have lost some of the attachments while cleaning, meaning they just fall off the sides. I don’t think that is bad per se. We usually wash the entire filter once in a while, but it is very easy just to empty this out over your trashcan. Some don’t have the time, or the patience to do so. I find it more hygienic if you do keep the canister clean most of the time , so it will not smell.

I don’t take up and down my stairs often, it’s ok over the stairs- somewhat big and clunky. I use most over my tiles and carpeted bedrooms.

I think it’s a good buy for the price – for a corded one.

This product has an amazing suction power. I love this Hoover vac for all the reasons.
