WindTunnel 3 Max Performance Pet Bagless Vacuum Cleaner

Hoover wind tunnel 3, Max Pet has most all of the features I wanted in an upright vacuum. The most important features were: one that would fluff up the carpet, and was heavy enough it would stay in place when using the hose. A bagless that was easy to take apart and put back together. And a big enough dust bin that I didn’t have to empty it after vacuuming every room. This one has 12 amps that gives it plenty of power and the suction doesn’t diminish as the dirt tank fills up. It’s got a pedal to turn off the roller/beater bar, so it will vacuum hard floors without spitting dust around the floor. I wanted to mention that it DIDN’T suck itself to the floor like a couple of reviews says it does. There is a dial to adjust the height. The 30 ft cord is the longest cord I’ve ever had on a vacuum. It’s bagless with a large bin. 1.5 liter. Not the biggest bin Hoover makes. But the biggest one I could find with the roller/beater bar control pedal. We have 2 hairy dogs, I vacuumed 4 large rooms and still had room for more dirt. It’s fairly easy to push, for what it is. It’s a monster vacuum weighing 18lbs. Great news, it rolls easier than I expected it would. Again, it has adjustable height, so when it seemed hard to push, I raised it up one notch. There’s a 15’ hose. With an extendable wand that disappointingly isn’t quite long enough to use on the floor without bending over. But, I’m using a longer wand from another vacuum. So, It’s not a deal breaker for me. The clear plastic does show all the dirt though. Someone like me, going from a bagged version to a bagless version might not be used to seeing all the dirt and dog hair flying around. Although it was something we were all watching at first. Theres no bags to buy but the trade off is washing the dust bin. It’s got a hepa and charcoal filter, that cannot be washed, but they don’t need replaced very often according to the directions. And it’s got a washable dirt filter that’s a flat sponge like thing. So it will be easy to wash, but It wasn’t dirty at all, so I didn’t have to wash it this time. The reviews said it was too loud? It sounds normal to me. Yes, it’s noisy, but not as loud as I thought it was going to be. The reviews said it’s hard to push the release pedal. But this one is so easy I was using it barefoot. The reviews said it was hard to take apart. But this is the easiest vacuum to take apart. A couple of reviews said they received s different model, so I double checked on the box before opening. I received exactly what I ordered. I believe the reviews must have been for a different vacuum even though they were shown under this model.

We love the high suction from this product, we had to change the dirt chamber several times because it picked up all the dog dander & shedding from our dogs. All the attachments were extremely helpful. We especially like the pet stair attachment. The ceiling fan blade brush is great!!! I don't think our ceiling fan have ever been cleaned! Its a bit heavy, when taking the product upstairs, but is very powerful as our household item! Great value for our money. Its not to big, however the extra long cord helps with cleaning one one all at once. Its perfect!

I loved few things as much as I loved my Max Performance Pet vacuum from Hoover. what a workhorse, and after 3-4 years, still has the suction of a hull breach in deep space. but Monday, it randomly shut off mid-clean, and remained dead. as amazing as my vacuum was, I wanted to replace it with the same model. Hoover has, unfortunately, made some..... "upgrades" to the model. first and foremost, you can no longer turn off the brush roller. I kind of hate that, because when you go over non-carpet floors, the roller has a tendency to spit particulate matter out behind the vacuum. I took a star off for that. secondly... reduced mumber of height positions. more variability is always desirable, but this change wasn't impactful enough to cost it a start. but lastly... it is, sadly, not as strong as before. my old vacuum has such powerful suction that on its lowest bare floor position, it would become almost difficult to move. (maybe the always-on roller is affecting this) no such issue with this update. I genuinely feel like I've lost 20% of the cleaning power, which is disappointing, as my old vacuum deep cleaned my hall runners to the point they looked brand new. while I was able to get them satisfactorily clean, it did take a few more passes. not a deal breaker -- so far -- but I won't be able to make a full assessment until one of my cats graciously provides me with some dried vomit. so in summation: Hoover has unfortunately away with some of the nice features of the older version, and suction is not quite as powerful as before. however, if you haven't owned an older version, you won't know to miss these features. still a solid choice, with enough suction to adequately clean up after the hair and dust generated by three cats (vomit performance, pending). can't bring myself to give it 5 stars though, just because the older version was *so amazing*, and I do feel let down. HOOVER: IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT!!! 😠

You have seen the seen the English guy on TV telling he is so smarter than anyone else and he builds the best vacuum cleaners? We have found it takes more than a big brain and English Accent to make a great vacuum cleaner. We bought one from him two years ago. My wife came in saying that’s it... I am done with that vacuum find us a better one. The dirt bin was to small, we have two dogs, it wouldn’t stay locked in place, just overall, not a good vacuum in our opinion. After reading everything on vacuums, I picked this one... I read so much I think I could teach a college class on the subject. Figured that job would just suck really. This is a great vacuum. We have two dogs, a Vizsla and a German Shepherd. One doesn’t shed and the other sheds an entire coat of hair every day. I should be so lucky to have that much air. One thing I like is the suction cord rally stretches out, You can vacuum things using the attachments without the thing running up your backside. Backside is a nice word for .... well you know... not a good thing. After two long years,,,,we have a great vacuum. Only three stars on the light weight thing....You cant have a big machine like that and call it light.

I bought this vacuum two years ago and it broke almost right away. Because it's "just the power switch and not the roller brush" or other parts of the vacuum, I've been getting the absolute worst customer service. They want me to haul it out of state to a repair center because the warranty specifies that they don't replace switches or cords. It's hard to tell because when their customer service center finally opens at 9am on Mondays, you're directed to someone who just "mmhmm" and "okay" and "I understand" responds to your questions and frustrations, and there's always a language barrier. I work 24 hour shifts as a paramedic and can't spend an hour on the phone trying to replace my $200 vacuum that only worked twice before it stopped working and the switch caved in on itself. So, no, technically the roller brush itself didn't break, but if you can't turn it on, the brush is broken too. Even though the customer service rep told me very sarcastically, "at least it isn't a problem with the vacuum, just the power switch." I bought a warranty through Amazon and was attempting to wait until the useless Hoover warranty finally ended so I could get it replaced through Amazon, but apparently now it'll be 5 years before I can do that. Excellent length of coverage, but no quality in the warranty itself and extremely poor customer service. They will completely dismiss you if it's "just" the power switch and will then ask for video proof of the non-functional vacuum, right before you still have to drive 45 minutes out of state to a repair place. It's extremely convoluted. I've called 20+ times and every time I call, they get all sassy and say, "This is obviously your first time calling, let me create an account for you." Where are my 20+ other calls where I've sat on the phone giving the same info and expressing the same frustrations for 30-60+ minutes each? It gets to a point where you don't call. This $200 (+ extra warranty) vacuum is collecting dust in my closet. Customer service is unhelpful, the hours you can call are extremely limited, they seem to want to frustrate and confuse you in an attempt to not replace their faulty products. So now I have to come to Amazon and be a Karen to get their attention. Hoover, your vacuum broke two years ago and you think it's cute that the warranty doesn't cover the power switch. The POWER SWITCH. And it isn't just the switch. The power died while I was using the vacuum and then the switch became loose when I tried to turn it back on. Fixing the switch won't fix the vacuum. It was a good vacuum the two times that I got to use it before the power stopped during the second use. When it died and I tried to turn it back on again, the switch was "crunchy" and loose. I called the same day and here I am on March 20, 2025 with the same issue. I bought the vacuum April 4, 2023. It died around April 10, 2023. My last call to Hoover support was yesterday, March 19, 2025, with no resolution. In summary, product itself was good. Powerful suction on my carpet floors, having extra tools for pet hair was important to me because I have four cats (three at the time of purchase, one with long hair and one black cat whose fur clumps very obviously on my tan carpets) and I was happy with how it picked up with one pass. I loved the "headlights" on it. Good capacity and easy to assemble and easy to empty. However, it broke almost immediately and support has been the worst experience I've ever had with customer service and the warranty seems to have meant nothing. I have NEVER written a negative review to call out poor customer service like this, but I feel like I've been patient enough. As for value for your money, consider that while the product was good while it lasted, I only got two uses out of it, have spent hours of my life on the phone with customer service with no resolution, and had to buy a couple of cheaper vacuums so I could have something "temporarily" while waiting for my Hoover to be replaced. I'd call that a terrible value.

At first, I thought they had sent me the wrong vacuum. But the model number on Amazon and the model number on Hoover.com matches. The pictures on Hoover's site matches what I received. So, the model in the pictures on Amazon must be a prier model. But still they should update the pictures on Amazon to prevent confusion like I had. The vacuum does what it says very well. We have dogs. Lots of them and it got the pet hair up and the brush roll had very little to no hair on it at all, so I'm pleased with that. The canister is easy to empty, just don't pack it so full that you have to dig it out with something, and it'll fall right out into the trash can. The little vacuum tool that's brush roll is powered by the suction doesn't do a whole lot as it will stop with little pressure, but it does suck up dirt and hair. The crevice tool worked best for me around furniture though. The vacuum cleaner doesn't maneuver around as well as a swivel head type does but it's not a beast to use either. Cord length is good. Maybe not the longest in the industry but acceptable. All in all, after making sure I received the right one I'm happy with it. Got it on sale so that was a plus. Dyson might be better, but this was cheaper, and it sucks. Pun intended. Cheers.

I love Hoover! That's why I purchased the same vacuum again - the WindTunnel. BUT the cord is 10 Feet SHORTER, there is NO BRUSH ROLLER lever to turn on and off the brush roller. AND, the bottom plastic piece to wind up the cord is missing. I called the 800# about the missing plastic piece and I'd have to submit a warranty claim. Why not just send me the clip??? They said it would be faster to return the vacuum and buy a new one. Really? Why did they make the vacuum with a shorter cord by 25% and with less features?? AND, in their design they kept the cheap plastic lever to empty the canister that breaks off. AND, they kept the squishy on/off button which - if you have nails - is difficult to turn on or off. Hoover why??? You removed the good stuff and you didn't fix the bad stuff. Can I please have a 40 foot cord and the roller brush on/off again? Again, I love Hoover, but I'm very disappointed with this purchase.

Get this if you have pets!! The suction is great! Including the attachment for furniture. Like it picked up so much hair. We have 3 cats and my calico sheds enough hair to make another cat. Hoover is awesome! I purchased another brand thinking it would be good but broke after one use. I love this one! It is a little heavy, but in a good way. It makes it sturdy when I need to use the attachments. Definitely worth the money. And it was very easy to assemble.

Tenemos 18 gatos rescatados y la aspiradora anterior había muerto por uso, tenía mis dudas sobre si esta podría con todo el pelo que sueltan y debo decir que limpia excelente, retira todo el pelo de las camitas, tapetes y muebles (el cual es difícil de sacar) y tiene muy buena fuerza de succión (incluso llega a adherirse al piso). Sin embargo, es muy ruidosa y algo pesada lo cual dificulta moverla entre los pisos de la casa pero vale la pena por lo bien que funciona. Lo único que no me gustó es que el agarre del depósito (la pinza con la que se engancha al mango de la aspiradora) se safa con facilidad, pero no es como que se vaya a caer o algo mientras la usas, solo que si por error la agarras para moverla te vas a quedar con el depósito en la mano. No tiene cable retráctil para que lo consideren.

This product has an amazing suction power. I love this Hoover vac for all the reasons.

This marvellous vacuum cleaner is fantastic. Has everything I need to clean my home. Great for cleaning up after parrots 🦜. I recommend it to everyone with a dirty mess.

NO HABIA ENCONTRADO UNA ASPIRADORA TAN POTENTE PARA EL PELO DE MASCOTAS, ASPIRA HASTA EL POLVO DE ABAJO DE LOS TAPETES, EXCELENTE MAQUINA, RECOMENDADA EN UN 1000%

Si que el contenedor tiene solamente un pequeño ganchillo para sostenerse, sin embargo eso tiene solución haciendo presión hacia dentro y listo. Que se me apago la primera vez que la use SI, eso pasó sin embargó la seguiré usando para entrar en garantía. Y por último creo que le hacen falta más herramientas para limpiar, como otros modelos de Hoover los trae. Excelente succión pero el sonido es fuerte, a eso yo no le veo problema.
