About bagless vacuums! Yesterday for my birthday I my parents bought me a Hoover Windtunnel T-Series at Target (which was $30 off), which is my first cyclonic vacuum. Normally I hate bagless because they are messy and lose suction very quickly. My Bissell's filters need to be washed/vacuumed almost after every use, and Hoover's twin-chamber filter gets clogged so quickly it's not even funny. Plus they are a plain to use. So, I wanted the T-Series for multiple reasons: 1. It's just looks so cool! I have no other vacuum that is so sleek. 2. It's cyclonic. Dysons are too expensive for me right now. 3. All the other vacuums were too basic/ or I already had the collection syetem So, to my surprise, TTI got it right this time! The first thing that caught my eyes was that it had a 2 year warranty. I always look for a good warranty after what happened to my Halo. I also like the washable filter. (there is one filter you need to replace, but under the warranty Hoover will replace it. I doubt that will happen with this system!) I really hate looking for filters, they are too expensive and don't last. This thing can clean! The first time I used it in my living room, which had been vacuumed with my Hoover 704 the last night, I filled up the canister to the top! It was really quiet and easy to move around. Today I vacuumed a small rug I hadn't vacuumed in about a month (sisters), which was also last vacuumed with my 704. I picked up more than I did than in my living room! Amazingly, all the filters are still clean as they were when I bought it. And I've vacuumed the house twice! Well, thanks to my two pets, this vacuum will be getting a work out. The dust-cup is so easy to dump and it doesn't loss suction, just like TTI says. I now fully back Cyclonic technology. If you are in the market for a new Hoover, get the T-Series. So much better than the cruddy Twin-Chamber vacs. They only thing I worry about is the parts. I know Hoover discontinues parts very quickly now. | ||

dustin: The story of my Halo is a weird one. I had been saving up some money to buy a new vacuum, and found online that I could get a brand new Halo UV-ST (the top of the line model, also the last of the true Halos) for $99, $400 less than retail. All was fine until I sucked a popcorn kernel. Yep, a small food that all my other vacuums had survived had killed my new Halo. It made this horrible high-pitched noise. I determined it just stuck in the fan, which unlike similar vacuums like an Oreck, Hoover Elite, or a Dirtdevil Featherlite, you can not access the fan. Thankfully for the 1 year warranty, I was able to get a new refurbished Halo free of cost. Weirdly, that one seems to do better than the first one. So now I always look for a long warranty before I buy something, because you never know! VintageHoover and Vacuumfreeeke, one day I will get a Dyson. I'm more excited than ever to get one now because of the results with my Hoover. Although I do think that Windtunnel technology is superior to most uprights, Dysons does seems to make sense. | ||

I almost got that same machine back in December? I think. It was a hard decision, because I wasn't to keen on it judging by other bagless Hoovers. I figured it would have low suction, the filters would clog easily, and of course, Hoover's famous SHORT CORD that they just can't seem to improve for some reason? I didn't really like the attachments either. And the dust cup looked rather small? But in the future if I ever need to get a bagless-vac, this will definitely be my first choice! ~Chase | ||

But in the future if I ever need to get a bagless-vac, this I still think the new Dyson uprights are better | ||

Question
When you vacuum with this does dust accumulate on the outside of the vacuum? That always made me paranoid about bagless vacs leaking dirt/dust. My first bagless was a Phantom back in 1997 and I HATED it but I used it til it died after three years. After that, I have never even looked at another bagless. I'm sure technology has advanced so they have most likely improved.

I still have not seen any parts for the 27 OR the 28, now maybe it's because they are still so new. | ||

The Phantom I had was the Phantom Fury. I'm pretty sure I remember getting in Christmas of 96 (I think)...I think 2000 was the year it died.I remember vacuuming with it and I remember seeing dust collect in the bin (which it is supposed to do), but also on the outside of the vacuum as if it were leaking. I also remember the removable dust bin, when placed back on the unit, never seemed to seal really well..It was in correctly, but sort of loose. I used it until it died, but after it was gone, I said I would NEVER get another bagless. But things have changed. If I ever do get another bagless, I'm trying to imagine where I would dump the dirt. I have the trash collection bin in my garage but I can't see just dumping the dusty mess down in that, only to spew dust out of the bin every time I throw a bag of trash in. I mean, I don't have allergies but still, my garage is pretty clean where I have the trash bin (called a Herbie) that you roll out to the street once a week for trash pick up.
