Leave the workout for the gym. This self-propelled, upright vacuum uses patented WindTunnel Technology to take a lot of the work out of housework.

Here's what makes this Hoover so remarkable.

1. More clean, less back strain: With WindTunnel Technology on your side, dirt doesn’t stand much of a chance. You’re ready to do a powerful, deep-cleaning battle with it. This self-propelled unit moves on its own both forward and reverse while trapping the dirt and not scattering it back on the floor.
2. Built with convenience in mind: With 31-foot power cord at your side and the power control at your fingertips, it’s time to clean without all of the hassle. Even if you have different carpet styles, the 3-position adjuster can handle them and even bare floors.
3. Got pets? No problem!: The attached deluxe stretch hose and full compliment of on-board tools include a pet-hair tool with rotating brushes remove stubborn pet hair and dirt from upholstery and carpeted stairs.
4. Don’t search for dirt, find it!: The embedded Dirt Finder alerts you to dirt you may not see. Red means there’s dirt lurking. Green means you’ve found it and it’s gone. Mission accomplished! The front headlight also helps guide you on your quest for clean.
5. This bag means business: The filtration systems traps 99.97-percent of dust and pollens down to 0.3 microns in size thanks to its HEPA media bag. No more guessing when the bag is full either thanks to an indicator light. Before the air comes back out of the vacuum, it passes through a fabulous filtration system so you can breathe easy.

738 of 741 people found the following review helpful LOVE this vacuum!, March 20, 2009 By  BE Babe (Silver City, NM) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) This review is from: Hoover WindTunnel Anniversary Upright Vacuum, Self-Propelled, Bagged, U6485900 (Kitchen) I purchased this vacuum from Amazon after I had just gotten a Bissell Momentum. I thought I would like the Bissell because it was bagless, but I soon discovered what a mess it would make every time I had to empty the canister. I finally got tired of getting fine particles of dirt all over the place and decided to go back to a bagged vacuum. I chose this vacuum based on the Consumer Reports review. I did about 3 weeks worth of research prior to deciding on this particular model. I also looked at the other two Hoovers (bagged models) recommended by Consumer Reports -- the Tempo Widepath U5140-900 and the cheaper WindTunnel Anniversary U5491-900. I came very close to getting the cheaper WindTunnel when I downloaded the user's manual from Hoover and discovered the placement of the hose relative to the cord hooks. It appears as though the cord has to be wound from a high point on the handle of the vacuum to a low point at the base of the vacuum at a diagonal angle. Additionally,...

But on the 21st day, it sounded a little odd and started to have a electric burn smell. I thought the the bag might be clogged, so I switched it out and gave it another go. A few minutes later, the vacuum made a little sizzle, gave up the ghost, and left more stink. It seems other reviewers had the same issue (although I didn't see the smoke). I'm lucky to have bought it locally and will be exchanging it, tomorrow. Judging from the repeating smoke thing, If you have your heart set on this, you also might want to buy locally. I managed to get it on sale for $186 out the door from a department store. The greats: This is a very powerful vacuum and rated #1 with consumer reports, which was the main reason I chose this over it's little brother. I also liked the accessory hose position over lower model as you can use it without undoing all of the cord. I did not buy this for the self propelled...

Bellamy - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) This review is from: Hoover WindTunnel Anniversary Upright Vacuum, Self-Propelled, Bagged, U6485900 (Kitchen) How can you get excited about an appliance? When it serves the purpose for which it was purchased! This Hoover does that and I purposely waited awhile to write this until we had enough experience with it to recommend it (or not). First, let me say that I read all the Amazon reviews before we purchased this vacuum (from Amazon). One said their's was used when it arrived. Another that the box wasn't wrapped in another box for better protection. Well, let me put your mind at ease on those points. This machine was brand spanking new and the shipping container suffered zero shipping damage. Actually, like most products today, it was cleverly packed and could survive all but the most brutal handling in my opinion. Now, the truth is, my wife picked this machine to replace a 20 year old Sears Kenmore. The primary reason she picked it was because she really loved the self-propelled feature of the Kenmore. If you check, there just aren't many self-propelled vacuums out there, so...
