Hoover U5725-960 TurboPower 6500 WindTunnel Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner
Equipped with a 12 amp motor and patented WindTunnel technology, this bagless upright vacuum cleaner delivers powerful, deep-down cleaning performance. The unit’s 15-inch-wide cleaning path gets the job done quickly, while dual-edge groomers ensure thorough cleaning near baseboards and furniture. In addition, its multi-level height settings allow for switching from bare floors to carpets with ease, and the Twin Chamber bagless system keeps dirt and dust off hands and clothes with cap-sealed chambers. The unit also comes with a Teflon-coated HEPA filter that only needs to be changed every three years.
For thorough cleaning, on-board tools include an attached deluxe wire-stretch hose, two extension wands, a dusting brush, an upholstery nozzle, and a crevice tool for hard-to-reach areas, as well as a turbo hand tool and a bonus 14-foot stretch hose. Other highlights include a Teflon washable filter cartridge, a headlight to illuminate dark corners, an easy-grip handle, a fingertip control switch, a 31-foot power cord, and free replacement belts for the life of the cleaner. The vacuum cleaner measures approximately 13 by 15 by 43 inches and carries a two-year warranty.

Ode to a Vacuum Cleaner, October 26, 2006By: Scott Kenan (Stone Mountain, GA USA)
The other night, I did not get to the writing I had planned–the first night in 3 that I had some time. I was vacuuming. For some time (over a year), I had been thinking my 10-year-old vacuum must no longer be up to snuff, and the day before, when I cleaned the office/catfood-intake/outgo room, it was making noises as if one of them had gotten caught in it and was flapping about giving yowls of protest–as well as spewing burnt-rubber smells. I had been casually checking machines for some time, so knew what was available, and went all over the internet gathering reviews and prices of the things. Then I bought this one. I discovered it is as good as the reviews, which is to say that the $170 Hoover “Windtunnel” beats many of the much more expensive trophy-vacs. It picked up all the visible cat hair on the first pass–as well as thread bits, difficult little lint balls, etc., and has a light indicator that shows when it is still picking up dirt that can be set to 2 different sensitivities. Using this, it took 6-8 passes, and sometimes more to finish its job (I would never have known without the indicator that it was still sucking dirt after 2 passes). It groomed all the carpet’s nap so it was all upright (something my old machine could not dream of accomplishing in a few high-traffic areas). When I finished, it looked as good as right after I had steam-cleaned everything several months ago. My old machine had only been pretending to be a vacuum–even when it was new.
I had seen the exclamations in customer reviews over how the family of similar Hoover models effortlessly remove cat and dog hair, but I had not expected it to be as good as claimed. One thing many faulted, is that being bagless, you have to empty the container and knock the dust off the HEPA filter–and that is messy. In vacuuming the living/dining room, my bedroom, and the stairs and landing, I filled the container twice. Thank God I bought bagless–I’d go broke with bags. At its most thorough, my old cleaner could vacuum the whole house 15 times before I had to change bags–maybe more. It is messy to empty, but awe inspiring to see what and how much comes out. I did it outside and didn’t mind that a bit. I simply took its small, fixed-brush attachment outside too to brush the HEPA filter down, and that worked perfectly.
Knowing how my occasional roommate is–he hasn’t mastered emptying the dryer lint trap yet–I didn’t want to risk his over-filling the dirt cup and clogging or damaging the machine. I decided I had better vacuum the bulk of the dirt out of his room. Fortunately, he had recently straightened things, so I had easy access to the floor. I did not move anything but his office chair and filled the dirt container full again. After this first use, I expect vacuuming will not yield such dramatic volumes of dirt.
On one of the hand tools for stairs and upholstery, there is a rotating brush (cleverly powered by a wind turbine built into its handle). It is surprisingly powerful. Reviewers had oo-ed over it for its ability to remove cat hair. Of late, my cats prefer to sit on leather, but I did use it on the stairs and found it worked great.
So much for my ode. I wonder which neighbors would like their carpets vacuumed…
Fabulous price!, August 7, 2006By: C. Rickel “Cleaning Nut” (Dallas)
Great product that does the job. My only issue is with the bagless system. A lot of large debris like cat hair gets through the screen filter between the intake side and the HEPA side. Cleaning the HEPA requires a lot of tapping to get fine particles out of the folds. I now use my old canister (also HEPA) to vacuum it out. I also wouldn’t empty the bagless cup inside the house at all. Take it outside and use a small trash bag held as close to the unit as possible to prevent dust flying, then vacuum it.
super hoover bagless!, October 9, 2006By: curlytop (brandon,ms)
I just got my new hoover bagless today and WOW.. the value and performance for the price is GREAT! i had a hoover windtunnel with the bag and decided to go bagless, although hoover makes a great product, this bagless model really has the suction and so many attachments included. the upholstery attachment is so cool, and you will be amazed the amount of stuff you can suck up!i highly recommend! ****
finally a great vacuum, March 15, 2007By: Erin Morris (Mississippi, USA)
I would definitely buy this vacuum again!! Only minor drawbacks are that this vaccum is a bit heavy and I find emptying the canister to be a little messy (almost all bagless are). The suction power is the best I’ve ever seen. My carpet looks new again after using this vacuum. Also, others I’ve had kicked around dirt on hard floors, but this one does very well on my tile. A very good buy!
