The early Windtunnels are usually well respected vacuums by many collectors. They are cumbersome and loud but they do the job. I have two of them, both self-propelled models, and they are as heavy as a boat anchor but they do a great job grooming trampled-down dog hairs out of an outdoor patio rug pretty good. The self-propulsion is also pretty speedy and it can leap out of your hands if you don't get a grip on it!
I've had this green one for 2 years, hasn't been run since this video, but I liked it for the time I used it. Hope to get it going again eventually this year. I am sure other collectors that use theirs every day can provide better history and statistics than me. | ||

Agreed
This has been one of the best performing vacuums I’ve owned. I never thought it would have power compared to a Kirby. Being a clean air machine. I always thought direct air machines were most powerful. This vacuum had been sitting in my moms closet at work unused for over 10 years. About 10 years ago they switched office buildings and they now use a commercial Oreck vacuum. The WT was wrapped in thick dust from sitting there for so long. Then one day she brought it home. 😀

I like them pretty well. I especially like the newer SP ones because they remind me of the Panasonic and Kenmore big bulky clean air uprights. Plus they're one of the only current Hoovers that's an older design other than the Decade 80 commercial and the Portapower.
I've never had one of them though. | ||

S2_82 I wouldn't worry about future parts availability for Windtunnels. They made that model for such a long time, and TTI (company who owns Hoover now) seems to be doing pretty good as far as making spare parts available for all of the vacuum lines in their portfolio. | ||

Good to know Bryan, that model definitely had a good run. It would make sense to still keep parts in production | ||
