This is one of the more expensive models Windtunnels with the dirt finder option. Windtunnels can be noisy and heavy, but can't be beat in cleaning power. I have one of the first Windtunnel models that later had a recall issued on the handle trigger for it overheating and catching fire, mine hasn't done that so far. It works great on getting weather-beaten dirt out of outdoor patio rugs.

Oh yeah, Hoover really went maximum levels of insane at making these. They took no prisoners at designing the "most-sucking" vacuum ever.
To put it into perspective, most outdoor residential central air conditioning units use anywhere from 15-30 amps! My Windtunnel when it blows the hot air out of the motor it acts as a foot warmer too, lol Feels nice in the winter months to use it. | ||

Yeah the amp rating on vacuums in the mid 90s was very much like touting horsepower on cars - it was all about who was more powerful. The more amps - the more cleaning power it had - so the thought was. It was a whole big competition. If you watch a lot of commercials from the time - companies were so aggressive with that marketing and took pot-shots at each other's vacuums left and right. lol

I'd have a sleeper 1969 SS 454 only a few hundred produced. I'd also take baby blue convertible blue 442 Hurst 1970 model.
With eurekas and Hoover's older models may preform better because 1990s vacuums eats rugs. Slow motor down good admiration. You wouldn't have to turn vacuum off to get across s rug. I like new and old. I have a Royal 400 watt which is 3.3 amps. It's quiest and cleaned very well. Les | ||
