Hoover U6637-900 Self Propelled Bagless Windtunnel Upright Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought a Hoover Self-Propelled WindTunnel Bagless with Powered Hand Tool (Model U6637-960) in July 2007. I was reasonably happy with it until the motor burned out last week - just 4 months past the warranty date. I have a two-bedroom apartment; this Hoover received very moderate use. Of course I checked for problems with the roller, belts, and visible clogs. The dirt cup had been recently emptied. The next step would have been to take it to a dealer for repair.
I'm finished with Hoovers. I now have a Bissell Momentum Bagless (Model 82G7-1) that I quite like, so far. It is much lighter weight than the Hoover, and easier to maneuver. One of the features I liked about the Hoover was the powered hand tool attachment. The Bissell has the same type of attachment (TurboBrush). Suction through both the base the attachment hose is very good - better than the Hoover. The dirt cup is separate from the filter (unlike the Hoover) and easier to remove and empty. On the down side, the Bissell's dirt cup is smaller and has to be emptied frequently. I paid [...] for the Hoover (Costco, with coupon). I paid [...] for the Bissell (Kohl's, on sale with coupon).
Where to dispose of my disabled Hoover? For people in the Chicago area, this information might be of interest:
Abt Electronics & Appliances (Glenview, IL) has an appliance recycling facility. Another company picks up the appliances from Abt, and either fixes the used appliances for resale or recycles them. For more information, go to the [...] website and search on "Recycling".

The upright Hoover U6637-900 combines Hoover's signature technologies--WindTunnel and Self-propelled vacuums--to give you the ultimate deep cleaning machine that is also easy to use. The patented WindTunnel technology uses computer designed dual air ducts and avertical air pattern that direct the air flow along the front and rear of the agitator cavity and across the full width of the nozzle. They not only lift the dirt, but trap it so it won't fall back into your carpet. The WTSP (WindTunnel self-propelled) offers unmatched surface and deep cleaning on carpets of all types from deep plush to Berber, to low nap commercial styles and it even vacuums hard floors too.
