How to Use the Hand Tools on a Hoover WindTunnel

The Hoover WindTunnel vacuum cleaner is an upright model that features WindTunnel technology, HEPA traps and filters, multiple floor settings and detachable hand tools. For cleaning furniture, drapery and carpeted stairs, Hoover recommends the upholstery and powered hand tools. The crevice tool works well for tight spots like dresser drawers and baseboards, and the wand is an extension that attaches to the others. The hand tools vary slightly according to the model you purchase; for instance, the WindTunnel Max comes with a telescoping wand.
