I decided to replace my 5-year-old inexpensive Eureka vacuum cleaner with something better. With a budget of less than $250 I spent some time looking around at the available options. I wanted a vacuum with some reputation as having good machines in general. It was important to have a manual height adjustment, since I have a very deep shag rug for which my “second vacuum” with its automatic height adjustment has difficulty cleaning. Overall weight was less important, and in fact, I associate higher weight with a more capable motor. I do not care about swivel ability. Nor do I need a canister that can be removed for more mobile cleaning. (I have a small Dyson for that). I was open to a bagless or bagged model as long as it has a HEPA filter. A long cord is essential, and I have gotten used to the convenience of a retractable cord system on my Eureka. I have no pets, and a variety of flooring surfaces from hardwood to medium pile and shag.
I am pretty happy over the past week with the Hoover WindTunnel. It was easy to set up, I did not have to open any of the instructions. It is satisfyingly heavy. It picked up more fluff and dust out of my deep shag following a fresh and careful vacuuming with my old Eureka. The cord is, disappointingly, not self-retracting, but gets a positive mark for being 10 feet longer than the Eureka cord, 40 feet vs 30 feet. Now I can reach a more spots without changing plugs. (My survey indicated that 30-foot cords are most common). Rolling up the cord by hand is fine based on the observed performance. It is heavier than the Eureka, and I still like using the full vacuum, rather than the hose-based beater, on the stairs, so just a bit more of a workout.
The Amazon near holiday deal was hard to pass up. I think this Hoover WindTunnel 3 represents a great value as a mid-priced vacuum. Hopefully it will hold up as long as my about to be “recycled” Eureka.

Assembly Issue
Because the instructions clearly said "Twist the bottom clockwise" to join the halves of the wind tunnel, and they did join when the bottom was twisted, I did not realize that I had to exert extra force to align the halves so that they would align with the machine. The issue was quickly resolved at a service center. The machine is excellent.
