What makes a WindTunnel a WindTunnel? As many of you know, I just bought one last Friday, and so far I like it. I also have a NIB Tempo, and was told that was a low end WindTunnel. Is that true? What's the difference between the two? Sorry for the silly questions, but I never was really into Hoover (except for the Convertible we had when I was younger, and the Concept One my friends had), and am just getting my feet wet with this brand. |

So that's what the "windtunnel technology" is about. Thanks for the photos and explanation! |

Windtunnel was designed to stop dirt from being scattered/sprayed back into the carpet as you vacuum. Basically in action the front channel collects any larger debris, the middle chamber collects the bulk and the rear collects whatever is missed as it is hurled back to the floor by the brushroll.
It is true that some of the new windtunnels dont have tri but dual chambers but IMHO the front chamber isnt as important as the rear, as the main selling point of windtunnel is the non-redistribution of dirt back into the carpet. Hope this helps. |
