Two here also, one free,a curb find. Strange thing, I really like it! It's not self propelled which makes it lighter and less complicated, however it has enough power to clamp to the carpet like my old Kirby which means on some carpets I can't push it. The other one I understand is actually Vax, I think? I had one of the first ones gave it away, when it went to half off at Target I decided I would like to have one again. Not my favorite but it's handy lightweight and easy to use

I like the older green Windtunnels like in the first post. Another favorite of mine are the blue models like the 100th Anniversary and the ones made at the very end of production. Also the alien green version. I've seen a few of the blue ones in thrift stores, but missing attachments.
A few weeks ago there was one thrown out in a huge pile of old furniture and junk. I think it was the later blue or silver version (didn't see the front, just the back so didn't know the color, but pretty sure what it was). It sat there for weeks and I kept thinking about swinging by at night and grabbing it, but eventually someone else got it. I like that Platinum Windtunnel! I've never really seen one much in person, but the controls look really cool! | ||

No
It was nice. I explained what I said and meant no Ill intentions.
Just because our senior member things it was rude it wasn't. I blocked luxflairguy who is always much ado about nothing. In seriousness I wasn't rude I was trying to joke around . I wasn't out to be rude or idiotic. You did nothing wrong in your post I guess I was too blunt explaining my post. No it wasn't rude or in I'll contempt I promise you. I just wanted to make sure I'm a good person who didn't try to hurt anyone's feelings. I respect you as a poster and a member of the board. Thanks Les | ||

I do remember hearing the Platinums were loud. I recall they came with a small canister with a shoulder strap very similar to how Orecks are paired.
The Hoover with the cord rewind and red/green indicator sounds like the one my mother bought a few years ago. It's called a Windtunnel 2 Whole House Rewind. She got it at Sears before they closed. I don't think it's that bad for something new at all. From what I read it isn't truly a Windtunnel design though. That was actually the first machine I remember her ever buying brand new. The others from when I was born until then were mostly ex-demo/floor display units from Sears, although I believe she did buy one other brand new before I was around. | ||

That T-series in blue is still on my list of vacuums to get, mainly the anniversary edition that has the dirt sensors, the propulsion, and all the doodads. I really like that vac. A lot of people complained about it because they don't realize it's meant to be a throwback to the first Windtunnel - a heritage edition basically.
I don't have photos handy of the Windtunnels I have but I have the first one that was recalled for having handle switch fires (mine never has), and I have a 2018 model that the seller said was broken but was vague about what was broke on it and the motor caught fire and blew out my circuit breaker when I tested it. Oh I also have a 2016 model Windtunnel pet model too. I just need a bin latch for it and then it is good to go. I might have a couple more not mentioned that I might not realize are part of the Windtunnel model series. | ||
