I have 2 of them.
I like them... not the 1st thing I'd save in a fire, but..............
I like the LARGE bag, LONG cord, BRIGHT light, .... I dislike the handle release on the RIGHT (not left) side.. don't need a power light to be on. I KNOW it's plugged in. Overall, a surprisingly nice machine. The little "Portapower wannabe" is ok. The hose is nice, the sound is shrill, the tools look like toys. but...................... | ||

I've had one
I didn't really care for it. I compared it to 3 other lightweights and my method of testing was rather unscientific but I I just never felt like it cleaned as well as my Freedom or XL-21 I'm not sure which was better between the XL ultra and the Hoover though. I think the Hoover has higher flow vs the ultra but the full bushy brush of the Ultra did provide better grooming but cleaning wise i'm unsure.
I've seen about 4 of them with failed boards, the one I had did also have this issue. I just decided to throw a push button switch on it, of course i lost the speed control and lights in doing this, but *shrugs* at least it ran

I love mine! One of the few uprights to rate an “excellent” in deep carpet cleaning in current Consumer Reports rankings (along with the Kirby Avalir, the Maytag 1200 and the Miele Cat & Dog Dynamic upright.)
Lightweight, 35 foot cord, two speeds and very large dust bag with excellent filtration. An amazing carpet cleaner for under $400. It’s like a throwback to the powerful Eureka Bravos of the 1990’s, but only uses a 5amp motor. I’ve had mine for 5 years and has not needed any repairs in that whole time. Highly recommended by me! | ||

You can get a lot of these Windtunnel bagged Hoovers by looking at TTI’s Royal division. There is even an identical lightweight bagged upright. I never liked the companion PortaPower canister that is packaged with the Hoover Platinum, so if you want to get the upright alone, may as well get the Royal version....see link below:

Thanks Brian. Good to know they are available under the Royal label. Can anyone tell me more about the UltraBelt Belt Saver? Does that have to do with the soft start on the motor? Was thinking that perhaps it helped prolong the life of the belt on the brushroll. | ||

Brian
I'm aware with the Royal Windtunnels, the store I even work for sells those Windtunnels as well. I'm particularity talking about the ones that Hoover no longer sells because I prefer the brand and the colors better than the Royal versions. And the ones that have ceased production like the Self Propelled bagless for example.
