Features of Hoover U6616-900
Enhanced twin-chamber bagless system has “No Touch” filter cleaning Self-propelled vacuum maneuvers nearly effortlessly WindTunnel technology provides exceptional cleaning Onboard power hand tool cleans carpeted stairs and upholstery HEPA filter traps more than 99% of dust mites, ragweed, and grass pollen
Vacuuming becomes a pleasure, not a chore, with this self-propelled bagless upright. A special switch activates the self-propel function, allowing the vacuum to glide with little effort over floors and carpet. The function may be switched off for greater control in tight spaces, such as under tables or chairs. A separate but stored-on-board power hand tool is perfect for cleaning carpeted stairs and upholstery; it simply attaches to the vacuum hose, which stretches to five times its length and gains further reach with the included extension wands (an additional 20-foot hose can be purchased separately). Other tools include a dusting brush for books, lamps, and blinds; a furniture nozzle for upholstered furniture, drapes, clothing, and automobile interiors; and a crevice wand for edges along baseboards, dressers, and between sofa cushions. The height of the cleaner can be adjusted for use on both thick carpet and wood or linoleum floors, and a headlamp illuminates dark areas under furniture and in closets. Dust and dirt are suctioned up thoroughly with this powerful12-amp vacuum. The patented WindTunnel technology with dual air stream and special ducts ensures that particles aren’t sent back out onto the floor but are captured by three filters. The pre-filter screens larger particles, the HEPA cartridge traps tiny particles of allergens such as dust mites, grass pollen, and ragweed, and the final filter assists in returning clean air to the room. The pre-filter and HEPA cartridge can be removed for periodic cleaning, though the HEPA will need to be replaced every three years or so. To empty the dirt cup, simply remove, shake contents into a trash bin, and press back into place. A one-year warranty covers the vacuum against defects.

Hoover U6616-900 Customer Review(s):
Summary: Breaks easily. Expensive to repair. Buy something else!
Rating: 1 (out of 5)
Comment: I bought this vacuum new and used it three times. For those three times, it worked like a dream. Never had the carpet been so clean. It even looked like a professional carpet cleaner had just visited.
On the fourth use, the brush abruptly stopped rolling and the motor started smoking. It cost me over $100 to repair. Beware buying this vacuum; repair shop owners will laugh at you when you bring it in because they see so many of them with broken belts and motors. Ignore what consumer reports says on this one and most definitley do not throw your money away on this piece of junk. It would be cheaper and easier to have your carpets professionally cleaned.

Comment: I purchased the Hoover U6616-900 Wind Tunnel Self Propelled Bagless Upright from Target 5 weeks ago. It had been working well until today. Now I have lost all suction. When I went to clean out the area listed in the directions, there is a piece of hard plastic that prevents the dirt from being taken into the machine. I have taken off all parts that could get me to a clog--no success. Anyone have any advice?? My son gets married on Saturday and this is NOT the week I need my vacuum to go out.

Comment: Pros
- Good Suction for the 5 weeks it worked.
Cons
- EXTREMELY heavy -- if you have stairs, you'll need a yak to carry this behemoth up and down them. And, you'll have to plug it in and turn the motor on when you're moving it from the closet to the living room because without the self-propelled motor on, it is very difficult to push across carpet.
- LOUD -- very nosiy. Forget putting the baby to sleep with this one. Buy Earplugs.
- VERY POOR Workmanship -- The attachment connector broke right away and the brush stopped turning after 5 weeks.
- DIRTY, DUSTY, UGLY: Emptying the 'bagless' dustbin is just awful. Dust and dog hair everywhere -- particles so fine, they are still floating in the air an hour after empting the bin. The dust bin never really gets clean and even after just emptying it, the 'see though' window makes your vacuum look disgusting all the time. I will not buy a bagless vacuum again.
I returned it after it broke and got my money back. Consumer Reports picked a lemon.
