Vacuum cleaners are not a place to get stingy when looking at purchasing a new one. Over the course of my adult life I have owned a number of vacuum cleaners. I'm not an especially messy person, and neither do I have a large number of pets (only two cats!). At one point I was breezing through two vacuum cleaners a year! Most recently I have owned both the Dyson DC07 Animal vacuum and a Hoover Wind Tunnel. One was for home and the other was used exclusively in my small coffee shop.
The Hoover Wind Tunnel Premium was adequate to the task, however the machine has definitely lost suction. This particular vacuum cleaner has been in use for nearly two years and is run daily. The canister is dumped approximately ever other day and I find it necessary to clean the filter monthly. The HEPA filter seemed to clog frequently which was a real annoyance. The Hoover Wind Tunnel is available in bagless and bag models. The Wind Tunnel picked up dirt, lint and stray bits of mess without much problem for the first year, but now seems to be having a little trouble getting the heavier dirt out of the carpet.
The other employees liked the Hoover's self-propelling feature, although I found it a little irritating at times as it seemed to want to pull me and I would have to almost fight the vacuum. I felt it was a clumsy model overall, especially at 5am.
In the coffee shop there wasn't much call to try out the pet hair attachments, although the Hoover Wind Tunnel Premium did seem to handle the other tools well. We left the tools off the vacuum as they seemed to want to fall off constantly, but this really wasn't a major irritant as we rarely used anything but the crevice tool weekly and the furniture attachment monthly.
