How to Compare Hoover WindTunnel Bagless Vacuum Cleaners

Choose between upright and canister Hoover WindTunnel vacuum cleaners. The 2011 model line includes 15 upright WindTunnel units and four canister models. The upright vacuums are designed to best clean dirt from a carpeted floor with attachments to pay service to above-the-floor cleaning duties. The canister vacuums are specifically designed for all-around cleaning, with cleaning heads for carpeted and hard floor surfaces and an array of attachments and wands for above-the-floor cleaning.

Compare the benefits of selecting a bagless model versus a traditional bagged unit. Both the upright and canister WindTunnel vacuums come with either a bagged or bagless dirt collection system.

Decide if your cleaning needs will require a powered upholstery cleaning system. The T-Series WindTunnel units are equipped with a separate powered handheld attachment for cleaning upholstery or carpeted stairs. The standard attachments for both the upright and canister models provide only the less effective straight suction tools for cleaning stairs and upholstery.

Pick the Hoover WindTunnel model that fits within your budget. The 2011 WindTunnel canister vacuums retail for $229.99 to $299.99, while the upright models range in price from $99.99 up to $159.99.
