I've got the same one except it is the blue Anniversary model. It was at Menards on sale for $130, and I had a $65 dollar rebate, so I walked out of the store with it for $65. I much prefer the ones from 2001 and 2002, they have a slightly different noise to them, a better self propel system it seems like, and a different kind of hose material. Either way, it is a great vacuum, and I LOVE Windtunnels. I think they are some of the best Hoovers out there.

Wow, what an awesome color that is! I haven't seen one w/o the plastic cover over the turbo tool yet.... but that is just fabulous. I have the silver one and I do enjoy it, but the hose fights you when you try to use the attachments! | ||

Nice vac, Brian....the Windtunnels, in my opinion, were Hoover's best cleaning uprights ever, along with the Elites. But as Chase said, the older models had a better self propel mechanism, & overall were better made. Plus, these newer models don't have the 3 tools in front in the tool compartment with the clear door, & you aren't getting the true Windtunnel turbobrush like the older models used to have. Call me picky, but I'd rather have the 3 tools in front & the turbo tool stored in the back.
And, I'm not crazy about the color either....give me the blue Anniversary Windtunnel or a early Windtunnel in dark green anyday over this! Too lime green for my liking. Rob | ||

The turbo brush was never stored in the back. If the machine had a turbo brush, then that was stored in the front under the plastic cover, with the tools on the back right hand side at the bottom. If the model did not include the turbo brush, the crevice tool, dusting brush, and upholstery tool were stored on the front under the plastic cover.
Bobby, you are absolutely right about using the tools! Especially the turbo brush! It is almost impossible! And that really stinks because these have the perfect amount of suction to where it doesn't slow down very much when applied to an upholstered surface. It is such a shame! | ||

That turbo brush
is the same one they use for Dirt Devils since TTI owns them its easier to use one for all machines. Most of Hoovers attachments are used on both Hoover and Dirt Devil.I miss the old Hoover but I do own many of the Hoover Windtunnels brand new that were made in Ohio in the begining . The dark green powerdrives, burgandy and black and an Orange metallic Farrington edition Windtunnel SP .I also have 2 new Blue anniversary one with the old real windtunnel turbo brush.
