I like the look of these self propelled Windtunnels. Especially these late ones with the blue color, also some with an alien green color, and the older ones in hunter green. These are one of the few newer Hoovers I'd want to collect. The only thing I don't like about these, is as with many plastic Hoovers they are very loud.

Keep in mind that the Anniversary edition Windtunnel is built the same way as the original '98 models. It will be loud, dusty, and cumbersome, but that is why it's a heritage model and it is a throwback to when they were great and what made them great. Nothing cleans like a Windtunnel vac. This model is not another "plastivac". They still sell new for $170-$200 in some stores. I haven't been able to find one online for less than $120. It's worth every penny to me.

There's more than just one anniversary self propelled model, they've also sold these in gray as well which is the color that I personally prefer the best on these newer UH self propelled models. They were also sold as maroon, green which is my personal favorite, and shadow gray which that one is on a bagless model. Those weren't really considered as anniversary models.

Yes, yours is the U6485900 because it has the two slide switches for Carpet Height and Floor Type Selector.
www.hoover.com/anniversar... There was also the lower-end Hoover U5491900 Anniversary model which only had one carpet height selector. www.theacubis.com/hoover-windtunn... |
