Hoover vs. Dyson, Round 2,
Well. It’s as if they read my review and decided to take it as a challenge. I’m floored by how great this vacuum is. If you’re debating whether to spend the extra money on a Dyson or go for this one, I’d say the gap has been significantly closed. So let’s go over some of the improvements and pros and cons:
CORD
This vacuum has a long, retractable cord. It’s awesome. ALL vacuums should have long, retractable cords! My Dyson and the WindTunnel 2 do not have retractable cords.
GETTING INTO TIGHT SPACES
This vacuum has a better head than its predecessor. The older version had a taller head that made it impossible to get into smallish spaces (under cabinets and couches, for instance). This one has a lower lead-in that allows you to get it into tighter spots. Dyson still wins in this category, though– their head gets into tighter spaces still.
DIRT CUP
Big canister. Better than Dyson’s. You don’t have to dump it as often. Love it!
MANEUVERABILITY
The only major-ish drawback to this vacuum, in my opinion, is that it’s weighty to push around. Not terrible, but it’s not as much of a breeze as the Dyson Animal, which turns at any angle you want and is very lightweight to push.
ATTACHMENTS
Excellent. Good placement, they stay put, and they work well.
NOISE
An improvement over their WindTunnel 2, which had a straining sound that made me worry the motor was always about to die. This one has no such noise.
SUCTION
Excellent. All three vacuums suck up dirt about equally.
I’m seriously impressed by the progress Hoover has made on an affordable vacuum that rivals one that costs nearly four times as much! In fact, it beats it in many categories. If they can get the maneuverability improved, they will be the clear winner in my mind.

Great Suction Out of Box. Still Going Strong.,
Right out of the box, this is definitely great vacuum. Does an excellent job for sucking up all the pet dander and hair that get all over the place from my owning a cocker spaniel. On board attachments help pick up things in the crevices and on the ceilings. Easy to use and figure out without reading the instruction manual. I would recommend if you’re in the market for an vacuum of average weight. There are lighter ones out there but this is definitely a good one to have as your main or only vacuum.
