So, I know some of you were going to buy the remanufactured Hoover Windtunnel Air that was on sale right before Christmas on the Hoover website.
Well, I got one & I really like it. When Wal-Mart carried them, I always wanted one, but I wouldn't bring myself to spend the full asking price. It has been my daily driver now since I got it. I really like the way it grooms the carpet. I know Fred Stachnik & some others mentioned that they had purchased or were going to purchase one. So now that you have had yours awhile, what do you think? How do you guys like them?

I dont know if the Windtunnel model is the same (but it looks like it might be) - the Vax Mach Air is impossible to move on hard, level floor surfaces, when the motor brush roll is switched off.
The 3 in 1 Dyson copied tool is also a waste of time - see my link/thread on "hopeless accessories." Another issue I don't like is the high noise factor and the plastic floor head that does helpfully come off with two catches at the front, but then resembles a flimsy piece of plastic. | ||

Durability & Other Issues
I have been using mine now for 2 months.Haven't had any issues with the durability of the plastics so far. I don't like the dusting/crevice tool combo, however I have other vacs in my fleet better suited for that.
For $50 I feel like it's a great vac & in comparison to others in it's price range, or even more pricey vacs, it's still a keeper! P.S. Thanks Kenny, I do enjoy my Dial A Matics! :) | ||

I bought mine from Walmart when they first came out and I still have no complaints about it. It has great suction and is really good at deep cleaning. I like how the Windtunnel path is exposed too, it gives it a neat look. I especially like mine for bare floors and rugs. It really seems to get the job done efficiently!

I just got one from Sears & VERY happy with it, the WindTunnel chamber & hose clear paths are nice thing to have. The crevice/duster combo is pathetic. CLICK HERE TO GO TO floor-a-matic's LINK | ||

"The crevice/duster combo is pathetic."
I know exactly what you mean! The worst aspect about this tool is that you can't even store any other tool instead! Take the upholstery tool for example - when slid down to the end of the crevice tool, it's like trying to slide a cup along fabric with a stick on the end - not very practical and far from easy to physically clean with it. At least the bristle part makes a good attempt.
